Cameron looks like he's thinking of his happy place in every single one of those shots. I don't think I've ever seen Farage without a pint, even if he's just out in the street talking to his staff What is the point of BoB? Why does he have a job? Nepotism? I don't understand it. Thomas makes sense, because it's the loving Express, so his combination of simplistic scrawling, bland inanity, royals, vicious xenophobia and poor-hating, popular celebs and middle-England observations are perfect for his audience. BoB just does childish 'lol milband iz dum' jokes and incredibly lazy caricatures using whatever demo software came with his Wacom tablet - is that what Telegraph readers are looking for? Are they from the kids' section? Help me out here

I just noticed in every shot where Cameron has a branded glass, he's turned the logo perfectly full-on to the camera, even where it's supposed to be a candid shot, so everyone can see he's Keeping It Real https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FnmnuDiVno

The last image appears to have a logo facing the opposite direction, though most of the others fit the description. Possibly its just dumb luck or logos covering up more of the glass these days?

Possibly its just dumb luck or logos covering up more of the glass these days? The 'good for sharing a drink with' political meme is fairly ridiculous. Nothing beats the 57.3% of undecided American voters who would rather share a beer with the teetotal George W Bush than John Kerry though.

No, sorry I hosed up and accidentally lost track of the conversation. The image I was referring to was Farage drinking with an obscured logo. If anything Sam's glass is also showing off the logo in her image, its just harder to see as its an imprint without color.

There looks to be a whale fluke in the background, to the left of the policeman. Also I love how all of the royalist papers hate Prince Charles.

I hope we get whales! Will be a great addition if we do and a much harder one to cheese out on than the badger (or as I like to call it the "three lines most of the time.")
