Man dressed like Michael Jackson runs into David Cameron - 'By accident'.

    A member of the public ran into David Cameron as he left a meeting in Leeds.

    The man appeared to collide with the prime minister as he left the city's Civic Hall. Mr Cameron did not fall over and was driven away from the scene, apparently uninjured.

    Police took the 28-year-old man away. He was arrested but later released.

    West Yorkshire Police later tweeted that no threat had been made, adding: "Nothing sinister, just a man in the wrong place at the wrong time."

    Article with video.

    Apperantly he was a jogger in a hurry to the gym and simply happened to bump into the PM on the street in Leeds earlier today.

    I reckon this is bollox and he did it for a dare.

    But at least he'll get to dine out on his run in with the First Lord of the Treasury for years to come. If he tried this in the US with the president, I reckon he would be full of bullet holes by now and the entire neighbourhood would be in lockdown.

    I'm surprised a member of the public was able to get this close to Cameron, let alone make physical contact, in the wake of the attaks on the Canadian Parliament last week by an Islamic Jihadist nutter.

    Luckilly for the jogger today, the PM's security aren't too trigger happy.

    Can you imagine that happening to Obama? He'd have 10 bullets in him. (the runner, not Obama)

    They didn't exactly bundle him into the car in a hurry, did they? All the security personnel ran to the runner and left Cameron alone, if there had of been a 2nd person involved they could easily have attacked the unguarded PM.

    It's a pity he picked a relatively obscure artiste with a limited number of well known tunes to dress up as.


    Er. . . .Rockin' Robin!

    That jogger would want to look at the man in the mirror and make a few changes to his jogging route. At least he'll always remember the time he ran into the PM!

    From the video footage yer man looked vaguely like Whacko in build, hair length, and dress. Especially with the white thing covering his hand. Bandage?

    But having seen the close up still shot of him since he looks more like someone dragged through the bushes on his way out of a tattoo shop.

    I wonder if the old bill asked him what gym he is a member of and verified it?

    I would have loved it if Cameron decked him one and knocked the scruffy fucker spark out when he had the chance.

    He would have been perfectly within his rights to do it.

    I know it was a very Dangerous route to take when jogging. Hopefully David Cameron realised there was a Jam in the area and will blame it on the boogie

    Taking the dangerous route is just Human Nature though

    In fairness the video isn't exactly a Thriller.

    A guy got into the White House by running past an armed guard and missed the stairway to Obama family quarters before they caught up with him. The head of the Secret Service had to resign after that and a few more near misses. The Brits seem to rely more on people having limited knowledge of the PMs whereabouts than a security perimeter. After seeing that today it looks like it's just a matter of time before there is a serious attempt. I hope someone takes a decision to protect elected leaders properly before there is a tragedy.

    i have an idea, how about we afford the same security to war mongering leaders that they afford to innocent men women and children murdered in their illegal wars

    If they are illegal then take out a court injunction: your view will either be vindicated or rejected.

    Of course he would.

    He was walking out of a building in the course of his day's work and some scruffy twat runs into him pushing him aside.

    If it was me I'd think nothing of landing him one and answer questions later. Self defence takes precedence.

    And the Prime Minister of the UK has more reason to be concerned about his self defence when in public than most others.

    Something his security detail seemed to overlook today.
