In reply to the discussion: UK PM David Cameron leaves 8-year-old daughter in local pub [View all]unc70
(6,519 posts)29. He's testifying "this week". Original story had said "today". Pub was "several months ago"
Original article I read had him testifying "today"; current one says this week. Here is the AP version of the story. If you use the "Sun", you take your chances.
Downing Street said the incident happened "a couple of months ago" as the family was leaving a pub near Chequers, the official country house prime ministers use when they want to escape London.
...
The incident was first reported in Rupert Murdoch's tabloid newspaper The Sun in the week that Cameron is due to give evidence at Britain's media ethics inquiry. Newspaper executives declined to specify how the story came to the newspaper's attention, and the pub telephone was not answered Monday.
Cameron himself set up the inquiry in the wake of revelations that reporters at another Murdoch tabloid, News of the World, had hacked into the voicemails of public figures, sports stars and even ordinary people in their search for scoops.
"Posted for clarity".
Cameron is currently scheduled for June 14.
Any questions?

I nearly confused the Sun with that publication that shut down last year, News of the World

What I liked best about that link is where it says the PM drove back and "found Nancy helping staff"

It's not just the PM and wife - you'd think the bodyguards would do a headcount too

I think Boner and the Congressional Repubs should schedule a committee hearing.

Apparently, Mr., and perhaps also Ms., Cameron like to get , um, sloshed, "after lunch at weekends".

The irony of it all, is that he has recently proposed parenting classes for other parents
