Chin chin old bean

"@IDS_MP. Chin chin old bean. Parodia Spucatum tauri, Westminster"
 
It appears that David Cameron was confused with tweets sent from @IDS_MP, which is not  the real Iain Duncan Smith, who doesn't even have a Twitter account. He included @IDS_MP in a Tweet he sent out from the Downing Street!
 
As a report noted, the @IDS_MP account  includes the phrase "Parodia Spucatum tauri" in its description. The IDS profile is a rough latin translation of "parody bullshit".
 
"It was just a bit of a dig," the author explained. "A bit of fun. I try not to take Twitter too seriously and it's always good to poke fun at our MPs. Times are quite difficult, the country's in a mess and I get quite angry with a lot of things. It's a way of expressing myself.""
 
It is very much in the tradition of Private Eye's "Dear Bill", a clear parody, but wickedly funny all the same. It should be noted (for lawyers present) that the real Ian Duncan Smith does not hold any of these opinions. And the author has not yet received any requests to close the account.
 
Here are some satirical sound bites from the definitely fake IDS Twitter account:
