Just days after his successor addresses the party faithful at the Conservative conference, David Cameron will be speaking to a very different audience at bargain-basement prices. The good folk of Rapid City, South Dakota, a stone’s throw from the old west frontier town of Deadwood, can join a “Conversation with David Cameron” for just $7 (£5.40) or $3 for students. The John T Vucurevich Foundation, set up by the late South Dakota banker and philanthropist, is dedicated to “making the world a brighter place”. He is not the first former Tory prime minister to enlighten Rapid City. Other influential guest speakers have included former US secretary of state Colin Powell, and former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
