A Jogger Bumped Into British PM David Cameron And Everyone Is Losing Their Minds

SCENES OF TERROR IN LEEDS TODAY AS nah not really. British Prime Minister David Cameron’s security detail is in the doghouse for letting a jogger bump into the PM by mistake outside Leeds Civic Hall, which presumably is a terrible thing because David Cameron must never be physically touched by a member of the lower classes lest his delicate skin be burned by the oily acids the peasants exude from their hands.

A man with a smartphone and an adorably English accent captured the whole thing, which you can watch below:

Because everyone is an idiot, a bunch of news outlets began frothing at the mouth over this “massive security breach”; a “security consultant” with the delightful name of Andy Redhead told the Telegraph the incident was “appalling” because he’s easily shocked, seemingly, while the Daily Mail went mildly berserk, as the Daily Mail has been known to do from time to time.

West Yorkshire Police confirmed on Twitter that the guy, 28-year-old Dean Farley, wasn’t a “security threat”, a protester or anything else other than a dude out for a jog, while the BBC grabbed an interview with him to hear of how he was wrestled to the ground, arrested without charge and locked in a box for an hour before someone told him what was going on.

I like the bit where highly-trained security police thought a gym towel was a weapon. That was cute. It’s nice to know that we’re not the only ones getting outrageously paranoid over completely imaginary “security threats”.
