Body Language: Who is in Power?
Dave looks like the supplicant in Downing Street. When will a British PM give that Hugh Grant speech?
It would be a hugely popular move…

romney likes sucky sucky!
If only he would grow a backbone and stand up to Europe and put an end to this homosexual marriage malarky. Does he not realise that you only get one go as PM so you might as well go flat out and do what you think is right rather than what the chattering classes say what’s right.
I think he is doing what he thinks is right, which is the crux of the problem.
in other news….
.
…a boy looking for a toilet at mancheter airport somehow reaches italy….and was a bit scared…he wanted to return to his mother.
.
pretenceBliar’s 1996 story about being a stowaway on a plane to the Carribean when he was aged 14….was later rubbished by his father….so reports The Times of London.
.
has the proBliar Times switched?
I see a flaw.
He looks like
1. a schoolboy waiting on the advice of the Careers Master (except he’s never had a career or a real job)
2. A supplicant receiving personal counselling from his lawyer / Dr / therepist (except there ain’t no desk)
3. A spineless stand-in UK premier with only a few weeks to go.
Who know what Romney’s special mormon underwear does to his body language…
…no you are thinking of Murdoch’s Wife
“you pay me 10 dollor, mee luv you long time”"”
you know, you could have your arse kicked in a court of law seriously for that kind of statement. Good job this isn’t twitter.
I s’pose you grew up hearing that all the time from your mum, Koussa
When I had it was for a pack of fags and a bar of chocolate. Smelt like a camel.
You sir are a disgrace to the Labour party with such a racial slur.
Shame on you
I seriously doubt he a member of the Labour party. He’s just some sort no-life troll that pops here occasionally to stirr the pot of shit.
He is much more “party line” than many of the others at time with a bit of very ill-advised nonesense like this. I’d even guess we know him, and he’s even stood to be a labour councillor.
Funny how cretins like this will admonish others for (incorrectly) perceived racism, yet think it’s completely acceptable when they come out with the genuine article, and all just because the person it’s directed at doesn’t share their views.
You ignorant fucking hypocrite.
*polite applause*
What? Cameron’s our PM? How did that happen?
It was a choice between Brown and Cameron. If asked to choose between a dog dropping and a wet lettuce, which would you prefer?
I think “none of the above” would win if it was an option.
If you count those who did not vote, it did.
Easy. I’d choose the dog dropping and wet lettuce. I wouldn’t want Brown or Cameron.
Hmmm.
Let me think about the possibilities for a moment.
Hugh Grant, who is he and what has he done for us?
“Don’t tell me the vice president is running the country”
Guido III strikes again.
Oh, fuck off. If they did you would be the first to call then a commie nutter
The same Hugh Grant speech where he says we should be closer to Europe?
Really?
CMD (thinking): “FFS, I’ve been listening to him for 10 minutes and he still hasn’t paid me £250k.”
At least Romney looks comfortable with Dave. BTW, UK PM’s have been supplicants to likely POTUS incumbents sine Yalta.
Since.
Casablanca
Teheran
Lots of pictures, lots of time, easy to pick one that makes the point you want. Poor quality stuff.
CMD (thinking): “FFS, I’ve been listening to him drone on for 10 minutes and he still hasn’t paid me £250k.”
U can’t read nothin into body language , sweetheart , can ya ??
Look at mine :
*lays back nudey , spreads legs an writhes aroun on floor*
To you , that sez sex , don’t it ??
To me , it jus means i tryin to get some air to my brain .
Behave! Good point vis-a-vis your “brain”, though.
So, body language is to be sniffed at?
This is priceless Guido
BOTH are NOT in “”power”"
One is a no chance republican nut job
The other is the Leader of a Coalition Government
Coooooeeeeee !!!!! Mr. Romney !!!!! It’s me. Ed.Remember ? Ed Milibland ?????
At least he knew you was a Mr and you didn’t have to run round that kitchen
Even for you that makes no sense.
Now you’re boring and wrong.
What next? boring, wrong and written in Greek?
Call me stupid….well go on…who gives a shit but I see nothing wrong with that picture. OTT this time Guido. Scraping the bottom of the barrel and getting shitty advice from some ‘body language’ guru who needs firing.
Guido seems to be doing a body language course with some loony nuts. His last series of photopops was remarkable by its lack of distinction except for distance.
Indeed. Dave’s open leg lean forward stance is pretty in control, while Romney has crossed his legs at the knee – which is seen as a very feminine posture in the US unlike here in Europe.
For Guido to not get this suggests he’s not as familiar at reading people in face to face business as he ought to be given the big business talk he comes out with.
That looks more like lubricant than supplicant as “our Dave2 explains how he’s “ever so ‘umble”.
Reading body language isn’t actually your strong point, is it ……
The Geedo’s body language tells me they eat too much and don’t get any exercise.
It’s the way the blubber wobbles.
They share the same barbers, no doubt.
*Holds lighter in front of vintage can of Harmony*
Isn’t Dave simply raising a cheek to let one rip ?
I think we should forget the imperialist American dogs and become should be closer to Iran, insh’ Allah.
Is that Rebekah Brooks carved into Dave’s mantelpiece?
keyboard has tea on it now….thanks
Yes. It was my decision to have that carved there in order to cover all the Nokia indentations.
Dave looks like the supplicant in Downing Street.
No he doesn’t.
It’s natural for people to adopt an active body style when talking, and a passive one when listening. Photgraphs, being static, also emphasise this.
To prove the above statement youl’d need to see a passive body style when talking.
When I was a teacher, some training covered this, and demonstrated talking with the body language reversed. It was bizarre and really showed how much we expect this.
That may well be true but Mitt is deffo a ‘top’ and Dave is deffo a ‘bottom’
First one is a gem

Dave should ask Romney about Ron Paul.
I once sat through (endured might be a better description) a management course in which one lecture was about body language. The lecturer explained carefully how seeing someone scratch their nose meant that they were probably lying. Said lecturer somewhat undermined that statement by continuing to explain that it could just mean the person had an itchy nose.
Ever since, I’ve tended to regard ‘reading body language’ as mostly bollocks.
When he was lying in the morgue, did anyone comment on your ex-lecturer’s apparent preference for “Cross Your Heart” brassieres?
Who cares? And it was a ‘she’, so her mammary support preferences may be less controversial.
Quite right. The bollocks are a dead giveaway.
I tend to keep mine concealed in interviews and formal situations where they might betray me.
I tend to conceal mine in my trousers.
What, in this heat?
+1
“interviews and formal situations…”
Oh, yeah. I nearly had one of those, once.
Lucky escape, I reckons.
“My message today is clear and unequivocal. Be in no doubt: we will go in and finish the job. We will deal with the deficit.”
If you want to deal with the taxation deficit, you’d better start the job first.
All you’ve done so far is to hide your Tory voters’ tax evasions in the national debt and call it the deficit so the rest of us have to pay it, you thieving liar.
You’ve let yourself down.
‘There’s no money left’. Liam Byrne, Libor MP May 2010.
Funny how this ‘tax evasion’ wasn’t a problem when the banks were shovelling loads of tax revenue into the Treasury, paying thenselves massive bonuses at the same time. Wasn’t so evil then, was it? “Intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich” to quote somebody or other….
Ah that would be me… hissss….
But your memory doesn’t serve you well I’m afraid.
I was never a member of the Labour Party. Never, ever. It’s all in your mind.
How many fingers am I holding up Winston?
Taxation deficit? Also known as “spending more than you earn.”
You really think taxation should be increased (ad infinitum) to match spending, rather than reducing spending to match tax revenue?
I remember when I supported Labour, back in my teens. Dreaming up ways to spend other people’s money was soooo simple. Of course, the idea soured once I got a job.

Jimmy I thought you loved paying taxes, you keep attacking this crowd but you never said anything about your Libor friends , who taxed anything that moved and taxed it if it didn’t, how about that road tax Libor Manchester threw in your face and the id cards we were getting with the statement “if you have done nothing wrong” etc, closure of libraries , fire stations, you and your friends are the deficit, you pay.
That’s just how David Cameron likes to sit on the Downing Street butt plug, preparing for another meeting with the US president.
Councillor want to spend your taxes on a golf course!
http://kebabtime.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/this-is-joke-right.html
I quite agree with this but it should be an Islamic golf course.
- No women in the club house
- No women full stop
- Unislamic 19th hole to be replaced by a nice minarette
- NO GOLF – as it’s clearly un-Islamic as it isn’t mentioned in the Quran
I’d better synchronise my Olympic Countdown watch to my Anti-Swede timer, then.
You’re alright. Stew’s brew has an inbuilt comeback ingredient. Tis good though!
Fuck off outta mah country yank trash
btw you slave of zio-fascism, please pass on me congrats to Mr Omes for some great shootin’
“Ah thinkin’ ah maybe we gonna do a number on those Iranians. Ahm a just wannin’ to make a sure y’all is on board and ready to commit to operation ‘speedy resolution.’
“Ahh,well, I say,gosh,well..look..its a bit tricky what with cuts and..erm..gosh..”
“Now lookee here my pinko friend..I need you in. I’ll make y’all the same deal we made ‘Thin Tony’. Join us in an Armageddon war an y’all be richer than Croesus.
How ’bout it Dave? Ain’cha never fancied your own yachts and planes and cars and a tax free, expenses paid lifestyle?..do yer ole brain a favour, son.
Say yes.”
‘Mine’s that big Dave. How about yours ol’ buddy?’
I do know somthing about body langauge.
Actually Dave is in a fairly agressive posture. Sitting forward. Hands clasped (so as not to lash out).
Mitt looks like he’s trying hard to sell something to a difficult customer.
Mitt Romney. Another Presidential nutjob and a moron to boot
Oops – mormon
Oh no! Romney’s gone too early!
Don’t fret. Romney is accustomed to the fact that he had bought, or can buy nearly anyone he talks to. He treated Cameron interview like a job interview; Dave’s.
Dumb and dumber.
Yes of course I was looking unhappy & like a fish out of water……..
due to another mess up my PR team. They should know by now that I am left of
centre, I have told then often enough, but they put on the right of centre in this
Photo Op with some Canadian nongay called Smitt or something like that. The
voters will start to think I am a true blue & like one of them, nothing could be
further from the truth. Must dash as I have a very important conference call
with The Master who has kindly allowed a brief fornication with him about my
best position tomorrow.
I’ll go along with a totalitarian regime for a couple years to sort out the cr*p
That hugh grant speech is actually one of the most embarrassing pieces of cinema ever produced by an English director. Why so embarrassing? Because it was pure fantasy and also a window into the mind of the powerless British elite. It encapsulates British culture, to be sure, but not in a way that gives credit.
No British PM can give that speech because to give such a speech you would have to be the leader of a country. Americans, rightly, look on the British PM as the leader of a parish council. They know, full well, that such a speech is not possible because a British PM is a plaything. An indifference.
Goofy post, again – Guido. You should never align yourself with anything Hugh Grant does.
probably I should look up this speech (in some film is it ?) I do think there is a lot of strength in the vote of the people who are proud to be British. Now if we could just get self sufficient in power and food.
oh dear, I woke up Jesus
Jesus – take it easy. I don’t intend to upset the global order. I just wanted to post a clever comment.
guido is a fucking genius
Mr Cameron refused to see me in an Election year saying it was against the rules.
With Mr Romney things appear to have changed.
Britannia may once have ruled the waves but the whole world can say that today it is Britannia who waves the rules.
Is that Cameron with a waxworks dummy of Nixon, or the other way round.
