Pointing for the Camera

Have you noticed how there is a growing popularity in having your photograph taken with your finger pointing at something or someone, I suppose Kitchener started it during the war and, like Topsy, it just grew. I read in the paper some time ago that when politicians adopt the pose they are not pointing to someone they know in the audience at all. It is all a cunning wheeze to try and convince you that they actually have friends. Well, there we are that's spoiled their game - now I have put it in print everyone will know and the habit will die out. Just you wait and see, and remember - you heard it first on this website!
Incidentally I think these two were reprimanding someone in one of the upper rooms, you can tell that they are experienced finger waggers!
