I have some sympathy with him. He says there was an agreement that if he gave them a photocall at the start of his holidays, they'd leave him in peace after that.
It appears he did pose for photos for them:

But they say either (a) there was no agreement or (b) there was but the photos were so boring we decided to break it. That doesn't seem to give them much moral high ground.
If his privacy is invaded like this, he'll do what Blair did: holiday on Berlusconi's yacht or in Sharm as a guest of Mubarak. And then the press will moan about him hobnobbing with dictators in order to keep some privacy.
They want it both ways. Do you think they should have it?

What was the infatuation with seeing him in trunks at the beach? I'm pretty sure he uses the toilet as we all do and drinks and eats like normal people too. He's the prime minister not a personal trainer, he runs or takes part in running the country so maybe his body's not in tip top shape but his mind certainly is to have got to where he is today. Most people who hurled abuse about his physique seriously need to wear next to nothing and look in the mirror and ask themselves with all the spare time they have not running the country do they even look half as good as he does?

we all believe in free speech - after Miss Manning's case - even more !
but condign punishment.....[for lese majeste ]

[ Its been done before as ever - Madame Mao was made to act in politically compromising films in the 1930s but managed to rebrand herself as a member and leader of the Gang of Four ]

The photos are now in the public domain so it is pointless trying to censor them now. We did not go into an agreement with the PM, so we should be free to comment on them. So no, our threads and posts should not be culled.
I feel a little sympathy for Cameron if he thought he had an agreement to avoid this kind of snap. But he was frolicing on a public beach so anyone could have taken photos and blogged them.
The British have a long standing tradition of laughing at their Prime Ministers. Surely Cameron knows that and shouldn't make a fuss.
