There are journals, and there are "journals".

Mr Cameron has published 4 papers in this journal costing him,
I presume ?400. Presumably Mr Cameron was happy to spend this,
and the editors of the journal were happy to receive this.
There are other things I would prefer spending ?400 on :-)
The regrettable legitimization in academia of the "pay-to-publish"
journal model (disguised by weaselly phrases like "gold open access")
has resulted in a rash of internet journals charging a range of
fees to publish what appears in some instances, to be absolute bilge.
Jeffrey Beall presents a thorough analysis of this phenomenon at

Read and weep.
