David Cameron Tweets Support for Thomas Hitzlsperger, Mocked by Twitter

David Cameron is a self-declared fan of Aston Villa. Therefore, when former midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger revealed that he was gay in an interview in Germany yesterday, the Prime Minister felt he should tweet a message of support for the German:

"

As an #AVFC fan, I've always admired what Thomas Hitzlsperger did on the pitch - but I admire him even more today. A brave & important move.

— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) January 8, 2014"

Of course, Twitter is a social media platform where anyone can respond to anyone, and say more or less whatever they feel like.

So you know what's coming next.

Here are a selection of the more printable replies to Cameron's tweets:

@David_Cameron Do you admire people like me? who look after terminally sick people who have been stripped of money from your policies?.

He probably doesn't read the replies, though, because he's busy watching Christian Benteke's top 20 Aston Villa goals on YouTube.
