LONDON – It could be assumed that for a while no one wanted to listen to David Cameron anymore, after his daring decision to hold a referendum on the European Union saw the victory of Brexit and perhaps created the greatest political crisis of post-war in Britain and in Europe. But apparently the future already smiles at the former conservative prime minister. As the Times reveals this morning in London, Cameron made his first lecture as lecturer in recent days, paid 120,000 pounds for a one-hour speech by a Wall Street real estate investment company, Blackstone Properties. Paradoxically, the topic of prayer is the risks of Brexit. That is the disaster that Cameron himself contributed to provoke. How to ask for advice on the danger of a ship sinking to the one who made a hole in the hold.
