The BBC faced angry criticism last night for giving an Election platform to a ‘ mini Russell Brand ’ who has mocked David Cameron over his disabled son . Self-styled ‘ angry Leftie revolutionary and magician ’ Gareth Shoulder , from Liverpool , has been recruited by the BBC to comment on the Election as a member of its ‘ Generation 2015 Election youth panel ’ . Shoulder , 24 , who is a big fan of Brand and regularly messages the comedian on social media , used his ‘ @ bbcgen2015 ’ Twitter page to make the disparaging remark about Mr Cameron and Ivan , who died aged six in 2009 after being born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy . After Mr Cameron spoke movingly in the first leaders TV Election debate about the NHS care given to Ivan , Shoulder sneered : ‘ A new record for Cameron… 34 minutes before he pulls out the Ivan card and pretends he cares about our NHS. ’ Shoulder also said that , in the debate , the Prime Minister had ‘ really annoyed ’ him and made him want to tear politicians ‘ a new one ’ – a shorthand reference to an extremely offensive phrase . Following Thursday ’ s TV Election debate , Shoulder then imagined the three female party leaders taking part – SNP ’ s Nicola Sturgeon , Plaid Cymru ’ s Leanne Woods and the Green Party ’ s Natalie Bennett – to be the subjects of a lewd parlour game , tweeting : ‘ Bennett , Sturgeon , Woods . **** , marry , avoid. ’ He also called Chancellor Osborne a ‘ briefcase w****r ’ . The BBC says it ‘ hand-picked ’ its 200-strong Generation 2015 youth panel to ‘ address fundamental questions about the relationship between UK young adults and democracy ’ . The 24-year-old used his ‘ @ bbcgen2015 ’ Twitter page to make the disparaging remark about Mr Cameron and Ivan , who died aged six in 2009 after being born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy . Mr Cameron is pictured with his wife Samantha and children , Ivan , Nancy and Elwen , near his Oxfordshire home in 2009 . Last night Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said : ‘ It is disgraceful that the BBC should give a platform to someone to spew such Left-wing bile. ’ Mr Shoulder said : ‘ Speak to the BBC , ’ and refused to comment further . A BBC spokesman said that Mr Shoulder was speaking in his own capacity , not as a representative of the BBC .
