LOL! ROFL! Rebekah Brooks teaches Cameron textspeak

The former tabloid editor taught the prime minister the true meaning behind ‘LOL’, but what else has he been getting wrong?

FORMER SUN AND News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks has revealed that David Cameron sometimes signed off his text messages to her with ‘LOL’.

However she said that the prime minister soon stopped when she told him that the textspeak stands for ‘laugh out loud’ rather than ‘lots of love’. Brooks has denied reports that Cameron sent her texts up to a dozen times a day.

She’s giving evidence to the Leveson inquiry about her relationship with politicans as well as decisions she made when she was editor of the newspapers.

It got us (and the good people of Twitter) thinking, what other text boo-boos David Cameron has been making?
