#ResignCameron: Pressure mounts on UK PM to resign over tax evasion scandal

…Over 90 percent of British people want David Cameron to quit

People in the UK are calling on their Prime Minister, David Cameron, to resign after Panama Papers revealed that his father set up an offshore trust in Panama with the aim of evading tax in Britain.

The hashtag #ResignCameron was trending as of press time with renowned whistleblower Edward Snowden urging the British public to take to the streets. He suggested the outrage at Mr Cameron’s admission that he profited from tax evasion could spark the same kind of protests that forced Icelandic PM to quit.

However, MP for main opposition, the Labour party, John Mann, has said Cameron has no choice but to resign. The MP also accused Cameron of dishonesty.

Labour Deputy Leader Tom Watson told the media that Cameron  should consider quitting and paying back the money to the Exchequer.

A survey carried by British newspaper, the Daily Mirror, on it’s website  show that 94 percent of people are backing calls for Cameron to throw in the towel. Celebrities have also joined joined people calling for Mr. Cameron to resign

Our Prime Minister has been stealing from us. It's very important that he resigns.
