Back in 2016, Charles Moore – now Baron Moore of Etchingham – wrote an article for the Telegraph, in which he described David Cameron as being ‘trapped in wealth’.
It begins –
‘You often hear of people being “trapped in poverty”, but it is also possible to be trapped in wealth. This is David Cameron’s fate.’
It’s behind a paywall, but here it is – just so you can see we’re not making this up as we go along.
As you can imagine, there was a severe shortage of sympathy for his terrible plight.

The first signs that you might be #trappedinwealth is when you go to school dressed like you're going to the opera.

Presumably because of the Greensill lobbying row, currently keeping the former PM in the news cycle, a screengrab of the article has resurfaced, and people are just as thrilled about it second time around.

I’m sure if poor David *trapped in wealth* Cameron is struggling, he can sell one of his gazillion houses.
No need to thank me.

I didn't know Britain had any good satirists left. But this dude Charles Moore, whoever he is, may well keep the flame of satire alive. https://t.co/Gs00J37vIR

Jen Wood noticed something odd about the situation.
So they are trapped in wealth. Funny how they don't give all their money away though isn't it.

They can’t be helped until they accept they have a problem.
