Okay, who forgot to give Dave the memo about the red and gold ties?

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea who those chaps are...

Is that a men's chorale group?

Cute stuffed lion...

And who's the overgrown 10 year old who thought it would be hilarious to do the donkey ears thing behind the PM's head?

ETA:

Did he make fart noises too?

That would be the British and Irish Lions rugby team (apparently composed entirely of Welshmen and one "English" man named Manu Tuilagi, clearly a native of Birmingham or Wapping). He it is who is doing the waggly fingers. Mr. Cameron has no right to wear the tie any more than he does the blazer and (besides) as a conservative PM should never wear a red tie which is associated with socialism (in every country except the one nation that has not a clue about sport or politics).

Gee, I thought I'd guessed right with the chorale group thing...

I figured the sweet looking lad with the shaggy blond hair was the lead tenor...

Interesting digression here...

Originally in modern TV times, in Presidential elections, Republican states were identified as "Blue States" and Democratic states were identified as "Red States"...

In 1980, a number of TV network reporters began referring to the electoral map of the US as "Lake Reagan" because so many states had gone Blue...

You can see the evidence of that here:



(You'll notice the one "red state" there being Georgia...)

But by the 1984 election, the colors had been flipped:



I guarantee you, Walter Mondale did not win all those states...

Now, why did this happen?

The color change was made precisely because there was a lot of complaining among the Demo political establishment of the time to their friends at the networks about being associated with the color red...

It's a conspriracy, Jim.

That would be Richard Hibbard - and I wouldn't try calling him a "sweet looking lad" to his face if I were you Jim

Hibbs is a real tough bloke ....
