The British Prime Minister has been getting out of London for a bit, heading down to Cornwall yesterday for some hand-shaking and baby-kissing.

“What is this? Oh, you eat them? With your hands? …Jolly good.”

The reaction to the pictures was swift, as you may well imagine – and they’re well on their way to becoming the next big political meme.
