A kiss for a PM in waiting?

That is the headline today in one of the less intelligent newspapers available to the British population (and the rest of the world for that matter – you’ve got to love the internet!) with a picture of Cameron kissing his wife. I hate these pictures. For several reasons. They always look so awkward and uncomfortable to the point were it just looks fake - we actually hate each other but will pose for the cameras. Secondly I cannot understand why wives, husbands, children and dogs have to get involved? I mean who else brings their wife to work? What CEO brings their husband/wife to work and gives him/her an awkward kiss in front of everyone in the office after delivering a strategy speech? I don’t get it. I don’t understand this need to see our politicians as “just like you and me” “with feelings” blab bla. I want to see a professional person there to do a job. I don’t need to see your dog or your wife. I don’t give a f*ck about your family, I’m not voting for your wife and who gives a shit what she does, what does the shit public service got to do with her? Of course our families influence us but seriously, do you give a shit what your partner thinks when you’re at work? Sort it out. Don’t want to see you smooching ever again!
