David's Latest Woe.

For once I have just a tiny bit of sympathy for David Cameron. He and his party are already way behind in the opinion polls, and now somebody’s gone and leaked to the press the fact that he and his wife went for a drink in the local pub one Sunday lunchtime and left their eight-year-old daughter behind when they returned home.

‘It was just one of those things,’ said David’s spokesperson. Well, yes, I suppose it probably was. Husband and wife returning home in separate vehicles – all those security guys milling around – each partner thinking the kid was with the other... And whatever-her-name-is was perfectly safe. The spokesperson went on to say:

‘The Camerons take responsibility for their children. They’re their children, and they take responsibility for them.’

Good.

Said spokesperson declined to comment, however, on whether David had been drinking alcohol.

Pffft!

So, let’s leave DC to sit in his little cartoon with his head in his hands and yet another grey cloud hanging above it. The following ditty is very short, as befits a ditty which will be comprehensible to only one person.

It’s getting late
I’m in no hurry
I’ll sit and wait
For Dorking, Surrey

Neat, though.
