Is David Cameron the first person ever to buy socks in a blazer in JD Sports?

Someone just spotted David Cameron buying socks in JD Sport – and apparently he jumped the queue.

How rude.

A fellow shopper captured the moment the former PM appears to push to the front of a queue, clutching a pair of basic white socks.

He appeared to be given special treatment as he popped into London’s Oxford Street to pick up the budget multi-pack.


Flanked by two bodyguards, he can be seen taking the socks to the tills to pay, before realising he has the wrong size.

He then pops to the accessories rack to swap the socks, before heading back to the cashier – pushing ahead of at least 10 other shoppers waiting patiently in the queue.

But as he was already at the tills before exchanging the socks, it’s not clear if this really counts as jumping the queue.



The shopper who caught him on camera, and asked not to be named, said: ‘You might expect to see David Cameron in Selfridges, but not JD Sports.

‘He looked completely out of place in his suit with two security men, everyone around him was smartly dressed.’
