To REALLY worry for the country now - he can't even remember his own daughter!!

[doggiemumma]

Apparently david cameron left his DD (8yo) in the pub and didn't realise until he got home I know i shouldnt laugh, but........teee hee

Serious face - wouldn't have been very nice for the girl :(

He thought the DD was with her mother. Must have been frightening for their DD and a heart stopping moment for them.

Poor little girl.

Hope he remembers this next time he has a pop at feckless lower class parents.

morebeta you have chastened me with your rational explanation - i only heard second hand from my DP who raced in to tell me that he heard it on the radio. You are right, must have been terrifying, but you really would think that there would be some level of security around them.

He is an arse people on tv this morning are gawfawing about it but in reality he left his kid at the pub if that was a pleb SS would be all over them

Exactly MrsJay.

but you really would think that there would be some level of security around them,

there was. He had his bodyguards with them. It was their mistake.

The girl was found in the pub toilets by the staff. When DC returned to the pub she was helping the staff. It doesn't sound as though she was scared or in any danger at all.

Perhaps he needs to book him and Sam onto one of his parenting classes.

I did see it was 3 months ago and not at the weekend so i wonder why its been leaked now ?

There is a whole other thread on this. But YABU

Of course, most of us have never made a parenting mistake! We actually did this with my ex-BIL - wish we'd have left him there now!

fgs of course social services wouldn't be all over him, this story and peoples reactions are quite daft

I did have my tongue in my cheek honestly

this story has been leaked so Dave and Sam are made to look like 'normal parents' I am wondering what they are going to announce over the next few weeks probably promoting parenting classes,

Because he was at a pub in Buckinghamshire and probably ate seared scallops with chorizo we just put it down to "one of those things". If a mumsnetter said that a little girl had been forgotten and left behind by her rowdy parents and staffie dog at a pub in Burnley people would be blaming the parents and making all sorts of assumptions.

Snobbery.

other thread

What a ridiculous over reaction on here to a clear mistake. After all it's not as though they deliberately planned to leave the child by herself is it? Obviously no one would defend someone who did that. Surely not.

no over reaction by me, i just found it amusing, brightened my day - no harm done and all that.
