Reports: UK PM David Cameron leaves 8-year-old daughter in pub

By msnbc.com staff

LONDON -- British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife left their eight-year-old daughter in a countryside pub by mistake after lunch on Sunday, according to reports.

Cameron rushed back minutes later to pick her up, the tabloid Sun newspaper reported.


Nancy had gone to the bathroom when rides were being organized to return home, the newspaper said.

The prime minister's office said Cameron and his wife Samantha were "distraught" when they realized Nancy wasn't with them, according to the BBC.

The Camerons had been having Sunday lunch with two other families near the prime minister's country home, according to reports. The prime minister went home in one car thinking that Nancy was with his wife and two other children in a second car, the Sun reported.

The child, who was looked after by staff at the 16th-century pub after her parents had left, was separated from her family for 15 minutes, the Sun reported.

The Sun quoted a pub "insider" as saying: "You'd have thought someone would have done a headcount or something."

The incident, which was widely reported in the British media, could prove especially embarrassing for the Conservative leader as it came just a day before the government relaunched a so-called troubled families program. The government says 120,000 troubled families are at the root of high amounts of crime and social disorder throughout the country.

Really now? Advocating the assassination of 8 year old girls?

There's low, and then there's Martinus low. You have just broken through that barrier and hit the center of the Earth.

I'm not advocating assassinating anything, you stupid ass cancer magnet.  Except you, of course. 

Beside, Prime Minister daughters are worth more alive than dead.

We need to remember that a pub to the Brits is a lot like a Denny's to the Americans.

Doesn't the Cameron family have Bodyguards?

Could've been worse;  could've strapped her to the roof of the car.

They've normally got a couple of personal protection people.  I don't think it's like the US where they each have different secret service agents and a massive operation around them though.

It's still the responsibility of the detail to do a headcount of the family.  If Mom and Dad weren't doing it, where was the exec protect lead?

He was having a nice cup of tea back in Whitehall; we do things differently over here.

oops, if this was a weekend, he'd be playing in a competitive croquet match at some country pile or attending a village fate.

attending a village fate. 

That sounds sinister.  Is this an ancient ceremony where the old wise momen examine the entrails of a slaughtered pig to determine the fate of the village?

I have seen some dumb, start-a-thread-for-no-reason OPs here before, but I am thinking this one takes the cake. 

This is a non-story and should be a non-thread.
