David Cameron has outraged Middle England (in the shape of Daily Mail readers) by returning to his holiday in Cornwall this morning after spending barely 24 hours in Downing Street dealing with the atrocity of a British Islamic jihadist beheading an American journalist.

Cameron decided to rejoin his wife, Samantha, and their children in Polzeath for the coming Bank Holiday weekend as the hunt was launched for the hooded executioner– known as “John” and believed to be from London or the South East - who executed James Foley on camera in revenge for American attacks on Islamic State positions in Iraq.
