Cameron body guard

[Pixxie7]

I have been wondering firstly why David Cameron needs a body guard, who pays for it and why was he able to take a gun on a passenger plane.

Because he's a cpo and every former PM has police protection.

1)Lots of people hate him, and he's an ex PM
2)The tax payer
3)Because he was an officer with the Metropolitan Police's Special Protection Unit

Because as an ex PM he would be a fabulous person to kidnap and/or kill it you were a terrorist/fanatic. His old role made him a target.

No doubt the taxpayer pays for it, in the same way that ex Presidents always have secret service with them for the rest of their lives. Like them or not, they did a job that attracts fanatics and it isn't their fault. Therefore we rightly cough up for it.

Gun on plane? Probably the same reasons that PPOs travelling with Royals carry guns - you know, exceptional circumstances etc.
