Blame that famous Hampstead resident and byelection veteran Rainbow George Weiss for noticing that the anagram of Cameron was "romance", (a reference to media adulation perhaps) but it prompted Guardian letter-writers to take up the anagram challenge with gusto.
Kevin Thomson of Abingdon wrote in yesterday to point out that Cameron is an anagram of 'no cream'!. This was followed up this morning by John Bevis from Salop. "Not only is he an 'avid Con dream' but also, mysteriously, a 'v odd American'." Cameron is also an anagram of "me no car" ... hence the bicycle, Peter Constable of Cambridge adds.
A quick check on the entertaining anagram genius website brings more delights for fans of word mangling. Howard Dawber has revealed that the anagram of David Cameron, Conservative comes out as "Vast overdrive - damn cocaine". Naughty, but as word twisters themselves, politicians shouldn't be surprised if their critics meld letters to suit their own prejudices. Tony Blair = Liar by Ton or Tory in Lab are famous anagrams that could have been penned by the Socialist Workers Party banner-writers.
Here's a challenge though - any offerings for Charles Kennedy's less-than-loyal deputy, Rt Hon Sir Menzies Campbell?
