Samantha Cameron on that scooter

[Anerak]

What on earth!? I don't understand and it's making me cringe

Damn!

I was stunned - small cocker spaniel v full grown adult female. Good job I'm not SamCam as the press would have had a field day :o

More disturbed by the 'kicks' at £60 a go. Bit of canvass and rubber seen as a 'snap' for the price.

Aw I thought you meant like a Lambretta, and wearing a dark green Mac, channelling Paul Weller singing Town Called Malice

I often ride DS1s back from school, cuts my school run down to about 2 minutes door to door!

And I have plenty of blazers, often worn with jeans. Would people rather she was out in tatty jogging bottoms with ketchup stains?

I'm thinking if getting one. I want to use my car less, but don't want to ride my bike. Scooter would be perfect.

Are scooters really not a thing outside London? Round my way, half the world has an adult scooter. I'm too stingy and just borrow the children's but they are bloody handy for nipping about on and I know a couple of people who commute on them.

i have been using mine (same micro adult scooter) for past two weeks form tube station to work (cuts 13 minute walk to 10 minutes) saves time and feels great . in morning i fold sccooter as busy but can get away with unfolded in evening if not busy

I think she looks amazing on it.

Would you prefer it if she was in a chauffeur driven car?

Doesn't just happen in London. This woman lives in Perth (Scotland).

A woman near scoots to school in the afternoon on her kid's scooter as I'm guessing she can't be bothered to carry the damn thing. Fair enough and if SamCam wishes to scoot freely, so be it. Each to their own.

However I have absolutely no problem at all with people criticising Sam on the basis of who she's married to. David Cameron has visited untold misery on millions of people in this country. She knows him better than anyone and presumably loves him for it. Therefore I have very little sympathy for her being laughed at for her blatant 'I'm just a normal mummy!' photo opportunity.

She is trying to be trendy. She and 'Dave' are forever trying very, very hard to be hip and trendy, but instead they just come across as a strange combination of smug and tragic.

That about sums it up for me.

My sphincter clenched looking at those photos.

Or maybe she just enjoys riding a scooter.

Nah.

There are worse things you can do than ride a scooter with your children.
I think that she looks lovely. And so what if she's wearing expensive clothes? If I was rich so would I.
