QuoteReports: 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.
The IRA missed a moon shot on that one.

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. :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:
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. :bowler:

No mention of which beers were available, making it difficult to judge whether the pub is worth visiting :hmm:

Apparently the parents were in different cars and they both thought the other had her. The bodyguards were with Cameron but not in his wife's car.
What's the big deal, I'm sure this has happened to most of use during our childhoods.
Hell on the few occasion it happened to me, I wasn't that bothered, though that time I had to walk ten miles home, only to find the locks had been changed was somewhat 'tiring'.

That's stupid. She's a target, too. Where's her detail? What the hell's going on over there?

Things are done differently over here. :bowler:
And I think there's an assumption that you can't really stop a determined assassin without chucking out all the access the public have to politicians and Vice versa.
A for instance, on the day Gordon Brown became PM, I was standing within 20 ft of him with an unchecked substantial shoulder bag, a suicide bomber could have probably got 10 lbs of explosive in that bag. In that situation I think there's very little his modest security detail could have done about a terrorist determined to kill.
I guess we reply on people being moderate in thier political opposition and the fact that the deranged/politically violent are a vanishingly small number in this country.
Oh and I very much doubt the PM's wife has a security detail, I think I've read as much, though I think it would be a good idea if she had a detective with her whilst out and about.
I'd guess that Tony Blair has the most substantial security detail of anyone in the country, well almost.
You people learned nothing in 30 years.
Boris Johnson is on MSNBC right now. Why can't he run for POTUS? Hell, he was born here. We could use the variety.
Boris should become both POTUS and PM of the UK and run them as a personal union. He could then use their combined power to re-establish the Ottoman empire and make himself Caliph :P

Only one PM was ever assassinated, Spencer Perceval. The man who tried to kill Robert Peel, and did kill his private secretary, was found insane - he's the origin of the M'Naghten rules. Some students attempted to kidnap Alec Douglas-Home in 1964. He explained that if they did so the country would vote Tory in sympathy - which is what they were trying to avoid, so they should let him go. They did and he didn't report them to the police or university because he thought it would ruin their lives over a silly prank.
The IRA had a couple of pops at Thatcher and Major but always went for mortars or bombs.
This thread made me crave fish and chips.
Sadly, I got Long John Silvers instead. :(
Our PMs can handle their own security:

And nobody shoots MPs in the head at strip malls. The UK seems to be much better at security than the US.

I don't know--maybe shooting UK MPs would just be a waste of ammo.
