David Cameron left his daughter in a pub for 15 mins

Exactly. I thought this was the whole point of the story, not that the parents left/forgot about her but that the security was a joke.

It was certainly the reason I posted it initially. A few folk in the thread have alluded to this but some seem unable to grasp that concept.

It's either that or tl;dr strikes again. :p

Trouble is it doesn't give any details of the security, unless I've missed it. Is its just one, many, full protection squad. Were they waiting in the cars, in the pub. Was one assigned to their children.

Without some details it's hard to tell what there incompetence level is.

But there is no detail on whether all security had left the building, without that the story is pointless.

I'm more concerned his security detail didn't pick up on it sooner. Your first check before you leave is are all accounted for.

It isn't hard to see why the US Secret Service insist on dominating security arrangements for Presidential visits. Close protection in this country seems to be the waster's dream ticket; I'm reminded of the case a few years ago of the Royalty protection officers who used to spend their shifts posing for photos on the throne.*

If there was an officer with the child, Cameron wouldn't have had to go back to collect her. She was left behind.

*Not that I endorse the American approach of treating everyone as a would-be assassin or having miniguns for downing small aircraft, but there's room for improvement when a valuable would-be hostage is left in the bogs.
 
Close protection in this country is excellent in the main and the Met do it as good as anyone else but there are daft lads who will fall foul of a generally hairless photo pop. I'm quite confident some USSS agents have been photographed in The Oval Office when the president hasn't been in.
 
Aparantly the close protection squad are not responsible for the PM children

A Downing Street spokeswoman said there was no question of the Camerons blaming security for the incident. "Sam thought the PM had Nancy, the PM thought Sam had Nancy," he said. "They take responsibility for their own children. No one is going to face disciplinary action."

It's quite funny really, you could say Cameron's just rehearsing for his appearance on the Leveson Inquiry... 'I don't remember'

Rubbish prime minister, rubbish father.
