Oldie of the Year Awards 2017: Mary Cameron, ‘Mother Knows Best’ award

The judging panel chose to celebrate Mary Cameron, David Cameron’s mother with a ‘Mother Knows Best’ award. The retired magistrate, signed a petition early last year condemning a decision by Oxfordshire county council to close over 40 children’s centres in the Conservative-run area. Not content with how her son was running the country she chose to join the other 10,000 in opposition against the Tory spending cuts. Her son – now forgiven - accompanied his mother to the lunch to accept the award.
