Video: David Cameron eats a pre-tax pasty on the 2010 campaign trail Mr Cameron was captured devouring the non VAT-able snack as he greeted supporters in the village of Woodstock in his own constituency of Oxfordshire, during the final weekend of campaigning in May 2010's general election. On a tour of a farmers market in the village at the time, it is not clear from which establishment Mr Cameron procured the pasty but the nearest branch of popular high street bakers Greggs is over 3 miles away in Kidlington. The footage surfaced on Wednesday after the Prime Minister professed his fondness for the baked snack in an attempt to diffuse a row over a new "pasty tax" in George Osborne's budget last week. However, the move appeared to backfir when the Prime Minister's memory came into question after it was discovered that the shop he claimed to have purchased a pasty from in Leeds train station had in fact closed down five years ago.
