Couple I knew (with their two children aged 4/5) were travelling in France : they where at an underground train station....parents got on the train...as the doors closed and the train pulled away they looked around and saw their two children holding hands still stood on the platform ! ! !

What would you do ? ? ?

a) Where on earth does it say that on this specific occasion, he was drinking wine, never mind how many glasses.
b) The protection people would have been driving because they are the ones trained in evasive driving manoeuvres.

The article (which is in the Sun, and should be treated as such), says Cameron enjoys having 3 or 4 glasses of wine with his lunch. It doesn't say he had 3 or 4 glasses of wine with this lunch.

Link, please.

btw, Sky News.....

After initially saying that it was the Prime Minister who returned to the pub to collect her, Downing St was forced to change its version of events when bar staff insisted it was Mrs Cameron who collected Nancy.

Who attacked him I believe it was the **** news rag and certainly not me as I would think equally as badly about any high profile person becoming a news item because they failed to in their duty to protect their child, is that an attack or how it should be viewed.

Do remember this was the act of a parent not the primeminister and you would be posting the opposite if it was just a parent who was out with his child so the child should take precedence as it is a time of relaxation as he was not sitting in the commons.

Do you mean the Sun that supported them through the elections??

The Times (iPad edition) reported today he had one pint, and also that his wife went to pick the child up (as linked to above in the Sky News article).

The driving after 3, 4, or 5 glasses of wine theory appears to be unfounded....

How much did she have to drink?
does it say on The Times (iPad edition)?

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, every time an announcement is made in a shopping centre or department store that a child has been found wandering unattended and could the parents come to the information desk, the local Social Services are called in and the family put on the at risk register?

To be fair, it's not really the same because the parents are usually still in the store. or the child wandered off.

now if the parents had driven all the way home without them?

It doesn't matter who picked their daughter up, as somebody else(police protection) would have been driving. All that would have been mentioned is who actually went into the pub to collect her.
