A British Journalist Got Hacked And Called Prime Minister David Cameron “An Egg Faced C**t” On Twitter
That's one way to get someone's attention.
Rachel Johnson, a British journalist, editor, TV presenter, and sister to London’s mayor Boris Johnson, has had an embarrassing moment on social media. A tweet that came from her account name-checks the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom, David Cameron, and asks the question we’ve all been wondering: “Why are you such an egg faced cunt?”
Three minutes later the fun police must have called, because Johnson clarified that she had been hacked and deleted the offending tweet.
Yup. Hacked. Apologies everyone and especially to our Leader. Am trying to sort

I’ve deleted the egg-faced See You Next Tuesday tweet and I do hope children that will be the end of the matter. — Rachel Johnson (@RachelSJohnson) November 25, 2014
The Internet, being the beautiful and ebullient creature that it is, wasn’t so sure; Twitter promptly took hold of the tweet and created possibly the best hash tag ever, #eggfacedcuntgate.

@RachelSJohnson Oh well, we all get drunk and Tweet things we regret. I thought for a moment you were finally speaking for the masses.

@RachelSJohnson He never replies to me either when I ask him similar questions. — Zorro P Freely (@banalyst) November 25, 2014
Although he’s since deleted the tweet, shadow health minister Jamie Reed applauded “Johnson” for the material he could use when addressing the PM in Question Time the following morning.
Johnson has since deleted the tweet. However, it will go down in history with the time that some Quarter Pounder-loving hacker cracked the Burger King Twitter account.
Or the time that Britney Spears pledged her allegiance to Satan.
Stay safe out there, change your Twitter passwords and probably don’t trust the cloud.
