Britons tweet #ResignCameron after Panama Papers admission
'May all your biscuits be broken,' reads a #CurseDavidCameron tweet
British Prime Minister David Cameron admitted Thursday that he had owned shares in his late father's Panamanian trust and by Friday morning, #ResignCameron was Twitter top worldwide Twitter trend.
It seemed like every front page in the U.K. was plastered with headlines about Cameron's admission in an ITV interview.
