The East London University told the Guardian, "They are not our students...Afterwards I spoke with one of them, and he said he had just joined the campaign a week ago and was learning how it worked."
This began accusations of crowd selection, that failed to show the diversity and multiculturalism at the UEL.
Members of staff are stating that a number of disappointed students didn't get to ask Cameron questions, "He only took one question from a student, and it wasn't about education,".
The press officers for the Conservatives deny that students were placed and that a vast majority were UEL students.
The Guardian goes on to example previous years of accused crowd placements in politics, like when Labour were accused of placing a family into two different Blair policy events during 2005.

The so-called students do look miserable in the picture, perhaps they're not going to vote for the Tories.

I half expect Cameron to morph into Tony Blair "Things can only get better" during his campaign.
Surely everyone realises that Cameron is just a puppet for the party he crumbles over the slightest political issue & backtracks on his statements. - 2 years ago
