"But the serious breach of the prime minister's security should never have happened and certainly not at a time like this." |
| The Sun agrees, calling it a "security farce": "This was a deplorable breach of security about which the PM's police team should feel utterly ashamed. Our PM is always a target, whoever he or she might be. That's even when we are not at war with jihadists who have all but decapitated a soldier on a London street. This incident could have been catastrophic." | |
| The Telegraph comments: "A curious aspect was a police decision to "de-arrest" the man after having arrested him. The word is odd. After all, Mr Cameron could not be de-shoved. Such acts of de-arresting, it turns out, date back to the 18th Century. Before that it was called disarresting, a thing Cardinal Wolsey considered in 1528. So the idea is old, but the word still seems - what can we say? - arresting." | |
