A tweet from Cameron's account from May 2015 about doing the right thing and paying your taxes started being passed around, prompting a scathingFrank Underwood reaction GIF from the account for the Netflix show House of Cards.
Amid the calls for Cameron's resignation were some hilariously creative oaths against the prime minister posted using the hashtag#CurseDavidCameron.
