Cameron confronts chicken on campaign trail
Updated on 20 April 2010
David Cameron unmasked a man-sized chicken on the campaign trail today in the marginal seat of Tamworth.
Mr Cameron came face to face with the bird - sent by a national newspaper which claims the Tory leader has failed to answer its questions on the peer Lord Ashcroft.
But Mr Cameron appeared to be expecting the confrontation, and gave the chicken a hug, before removing its head to ask him face to face and asking him what question he wanted to ask.
Mr Cameron, who was accompanied by his pregnant wife Samantha, then toured the busy main shopping street and market in what he said was a bid to answer "the questions real people want to ask".
