When Monday’s Telegraph ran a notebook column on the Panama Papers and claimed David Cameron’s “fate” was to be “trapped in wealth”, much of the internet – Twitter in particular – was having none of it.

“You often hear of people being ‘trapped in poverty,'” the piece reads, “but it is also possible to be trapped in wealth. This is David Cameron’s fate.”
Steve Anglesey, Digital Content Director at ArchantDigital, was one of the first to use the hashtag #TrappedInWealth after criticising the editorial, and shortly afterwards it began trending on Twitter.
Obviously, chaos ensued.

I thought I was #trappedinwealth once, but it turned out I hadn't transferred my rent across yet. I was scared for a split second. #empathy
