The redtops had a field day last week after the Cameron
family returned from the pub (where, so it is said, our PM quaffed a pint or
two of the Reverend James) only to find that they had left their eight year old
daughter behind.
Shock! Horror! – actually, it must have been devastating,
Mrs Linen and I have never done anything like that - but not for want of
trying!
So now David and Samantha (I can call them that because I
vote Conservative, or used to) are being castigated and tagged as bad parents….hmmm…..I
seem to recall another incident when a couple left their twelve year old son*
behind by accident...............

...... and He wasn’t found for three whole days! |
*just in case there are any pedants lurking out there…..also
foster son.
Who will fault him? The parents who abandon their children at bad council schools?
ReplyDeleteIf they were a poor family social services would have been called immediately.
ReplyDeleteThe government's consultation on changing the definition of marriage makes no reference to children. Easily forgotten, evidently.
ReplyDeletePatricius - very apt, I wish I had included that in my post. Laurence - and the 8 year old would be in a care home by now. Thank you Mack - that could read "parents who abandon their children at most Catholic schools"
