A HIGH-FLYING female police officer who used to be Tony Blair's close protection officer has been "removed from operational duties" after leaving her gun in a coffee shop.
A member of the public found the pistol, believed to be a semi-automatic Glock 17, in the toilets of a Starbucks café in London.

The full article contains 60 words and appears in The Scotsman newspaper.

She must have been dazzled by Teflon Tony's crocodile smile.
The member of the public thankfully was not the average British citizen then? To be wholly congratulated for his or her actions.

Perhaps she did not need the gun, since she was no longer the protector of.... supply your own political comment.

Then, again, perhaps, she thought the weapon would be more suitably deployed elsewhere, as she clearly had no further use for it - unless, of course, she felt the need to fight a rearguard action - which, evidently, she did not.

FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE HEARD THAT A BINT WAS GOING ABOUT WITH A GUN IN HER KNICKERS.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE,I THINK BLIAR NEEDS A STRONGER ARMED ESCORT THAN A BINT AS THERE IS A LOT OF NUTTERS OUT THERE WHO WOULD WANT TO TAKE A POT AT HIM

a high flyer brought low...
Bet she was so busy taking a load off her mind she forgot to "lock and load"
or is is "Load and Lock"

Personally I would give her a medal - leaving Teflon Tony defenceless - superb...

Like I said, I think she was having her 'special time of the month'. Why else would she take the weapon out of its holster? I wonder what Ms Harperson would say in her defence?

It's a good thing women aren't allowed to fly planes without a male co-pilot.
