今年是英國大文豪莎士比亞逝世四百周年,英國首相卡梅倫日前在國會發表演說時,乘機利用莎翁「抽水」,並引用多齣莎翁劇作名稱,諷刺在野工黨近日的人事大變動。

卡梅倫指,莎士比亞為英語提供許多好詞彙,更將莎翁名作來形容工黨影子內閣的重組,贈興一番。他說:「這次重組就好比(工黨的)《第十二夜》,並且是報復性的,(結果)可謂《皆大歡喜》(There was a moment when it looked like this reshuffle could go into its Twelfth Night. It was a revenge reshuffle, so it was going to be As You Like It)。」

卡梅倫亦拿熱爆全球的《星戰》電影踩工黨多兩腳,揶揄今次工黨重組費時失事,他說:「他們重組所花的時間,足以重溫全部《星戰》電影,但我們還未看到誰加入了黑暗力量(You could have watched the entire run of Star Wars, and we've yet to find out who's been seduced to the dark side)。」
