Stumbling and Mumbling points us to a piece on the Guardian website by Steve Busfield from the time of the Tory leadership election:
The Sun's business editor Ian King described the party leader in waiting David Cameron as a "poisonous, slippery individual" - highlighting the time Cameron was PR man for "the world's worst TV company" Carlton in the 1990s. "He was a smarmy bully who regularly threatened journalists who dared to write anything negative about Carlton - which was nearly all of us."

We're not usually ones to blow our own trumpets, but we talked about this back in January, in our earlier incarnation.
The piece I wanted to link to in my post was a longer article by Ian King, which was one of the most vicious I've ever seen, describing Cameron as a liar and a bully. Sadly, it's lost in the Sun's archive.
Jeff Randall isn't the only intelligent Conservative sympathizer who hates Cameron personally; Tim Congdon (normally a very mild-mannered man) is another. There are skeletons in this closet.
I posted a series of pieces on Cameron-phobia in the City back on the old Apollo Blog
