  David Cameron's potty mouth revealed to the nation
  
  Prime Minister is said to have jokingly referred to Nick Clegg as an 'idle f***er'
  
  In public his language is crafted, his words carefully chosen and his statements checked for inadvertent offence. In private, though, David Cameron is said not to be averse to the odd bit of "Anglo-Saxon vernacular". Or, to put it another way, he can swear like a trooper.
  
  Yesterday it emerged that on top of allegedly referring to the Government's environmental commitments as "green crap", he has also taken a colourful swipe at his Liberal Democrat deputy Nick Clegg.
  
  Mr Cameron is said to have jokingly referred to Mr Clegg as an "idle f***er" - teasing him for enjoying a meal with his wife while he was drumming up trade on a trip to India and the Middle East.
  
  A senior Conservative revealed that Mr Cameron had phoned a friend in the racing industry to get the low-down about racehorses owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, ahead of an official visit to the United Arab Emirates last week.
  
  The Prime Minister met the Sheikh last Saturday, with the aim of persuading him to buy Eurofighter Typhoon jets for the United Arab Emirates. But when Mr Cameron called his friend, the man revealed that he was dining close to Mr Clegg and his wife Miriam at a restaurant.
  
  Mr Cameron apparently said: "Tell him he's an idle f***er. I'm out here batting for Britain while he's having a nice dinner."
