No doubt this will attract pelters from the Tory Fan boys but it's a concern when a leader of the country is involved in such irresponsible behaviour.

It doesn't matter who else was there it is ultimately the responsiblity of parents to look after their own children.

I wonder if you would have all been so dismissive of the "non-story" if a young inner city couple leave a child in a pub for 10 minutes and in that time the friendly local paedo offers to give the child a lift home.

It doesn't matter if he's tory, labour, liberal or monster raving looney; I'd question anyone's ability to look after the important things in the country, if they can't look after the important things in their own personal lives.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread if anyone of us posting in this thread had left their child in similar circumstances and the story was given to the local media who then printed an article in the local paper, we would receive a visit from local Social Services and possibly even put on the at risk register, but because of who he is nothing of the sort will happen.

Double standards anybody?

The should be equality in such matters but all that happens is a convoluted thread talks about the rights and wrongs of who supports which party, politics should have no bearing in such cases.

I wonder if the **** would have bothered covering it if it was you or me instead of Cameron ?

As much as I dislike "we're all in this together, call me Dave" this is an accident that could happen to any parent it's a storm in a teacup

Tell that to the newspapers who are doing anything to big this up to take the heat of them for a change.

Mainstream newspapers will cover this because of who it is but they would not mention us unless we were flying out to Malta as per this Daily Fail article.

As above we might get a mention in the local rag.

I can't say I agree. I don't know of any parents who have left a pub and accidentally left their children, or a child behind. Surely that can't be that common?

I do know of a friends Uncle how pushed the pram down to the newsagent in the 1960s and returned with the Sunday papers and some pipe tobacco.... baby in pram was collected later.... oops. Quite loopy the gentleman in question and it was a different era.

He was never likely to be given a responsible post such as supervisor of the bin crew he worked with... never mind leader of a country.

Replace pub with shop, theme park, swimming pool etc. I would guess that it's not entirely uncommon for both parents to think the child is with the other parent.

OK, so it's a stupid thing to happen, but thankfully in this instance no harm done, and I certainly don't see how this can be used to call his credentials as leader of the country into question. As much as I hate the smarmy goit

Unless, they weren't having drinks with the Mcanns were they ?
