On this day in 1966: David Cameron is born
As David Cameron turns 60, Eliot Wilson takes a look back at the life so far of the "chillaxed" Prime Minister.
David Cameron, the former British Prime Minister, was born on this day 60 years ago in 1966. The third child of stockbroker Ian Cameron and Mary Fleur Mount, a Justice of the Peace, David grew up in an upper-class childhood. After attending Heatherdown School and Eton, he studied at Brasenose College, Oxford, graduating with a PPE degree.
His undergraduate experience was notable for his intellect, but also his adherence to conventional norms. Following graduation, Cameron joined the Conservative Research Department, where he honed his political skills. He entered politics in 2001, serving as an MP and rising through the ranks to become the Prime Minister in 2010.
Despite his significant achievements, Cameron resigned as Prime Minister in 2016, citing Brexit-related concerns and a desire to restore economic growth and prosperity for Britain.
