IIRC Cameron said something along the lines of "If they think we're paying that £1.7m on December 1st they can sling their hook", thereby (intentionally) giving the impression he'd tell them to shove off, or at least resist the demand.

I don't think he fooled anyone though but what he was actually telling us was we weren't going to pay it....by December 1st. Typical politician games-with-words BS.
