Thousands March on No-10 Calling For Cameron to Quit Over Tax Revelations: Under-fire PM Admits 'I Should Have Handled It Better'

Thousands march on No10 calling for David Cameron to quit over tax revelations
Thousands of protesters marched on Downing Street today calling for David Cameron to quit in the wake of revelations about his tax affairs. The embattled PM was accused of 'hypocrisy' after he finally admitted profiting from more than £30,000 in an off-shore tax haven. 
After days of pressure, Mr Cameron acknowledged he had benefited from a controversial fund set up by his late father Ian. In the wake of that extraordinary interview, thousands lined Whitehall today urging Mr Cameron to 'go now'. Protesters - many wearing Hawaiian shirts and Panama hats - arrived at Downing Street carrying placards saying 'he's got to go', 'time to go chum' and 'Eton's mess'. A huge pig with the Prime Minister's face emblazoned on the front was hoisted into the air above the crowd who chanted 'David Cameron must resign'. Protesters also descended on the Tory Spring Conference at the Grand Connaught rooms (left). Speaking today (inset), Mr Cameron promised to 'learn the lessons' from the toxic row over his ownership of shares in his late father's offshore investment fund and insisted voters should 'blame me' over the affair. Singer Lilly Allen was also at the protest and said of the PM: 'I think he has been dishonest'.
