Politicians' Irritating Thumb Gesture Type Thing...

[GJN1]

If there's one thing that tells me a politician isn't telling the truth (other than them opening their mouth) it's this insufferable hand gesture. It's like they haven't got the balls to actually point their finger. Besides, who actually makes this gesture in real life? Anyone?

Keep an eye out for it during the election campaign. Alternatively, don't...

They've probably been advised/coached NOT to point their finger.

Gordon Brown must have missed that training session...

It used to be that pointing is strong but pointing at someone is aggressive so they were all taught to point down when they talked. I'm guessing this is just the latest development.

There will be more intensive choreography in Westminster in the next few weeks than Bruce Forsyth has seen in the last 80 years

All of which makes them even less natural (if that were possible) and even more unappealing...
