David Cameron charges £5 per ticket for a lecture on global politics in the US Wild West
The former PM is giving a talk in Rapid City, South Dakota next month
DAVID CAMERON is set to give a £5-a-head lecture in the 'Wild West' area of the US while his former colleagues thrash out Brexit.
The former Prime Minister is heading to a town in South Dakota to talk to locals about global politics.
His cut-price lecture takes place in Rapid City, which is near to several notorious frontier ghost towns and hosted a 19th-century gold rush.
Mr Cameron has reportedly earned as much as £120,000 for a single lecture since he quit as PM last year.
But he appears to be taking a significant cut in his usual pay to deliver the talk in Rapid City on October 9.
Tickets went on sale last month at $7 (£5) each, or $3 (£2.30) for students - selling out within hours.
The event will be a Q&A, with attendees sending in questions about Brexit and the world economy in advance.
The lecture is apparently subsidised by a charity set up by late banker John T. Vucurevich.
Mr Vucurevich set up a foundation to attract high-profile speakers to Rapid City, allowing locals access to world leaders.
Previous guests include Margaret Thatcher and US Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Mr Cameron's trip to the US West will give him a break from writing his memoirs in a £25,000 garden shed.
