Wtf with this weird Keir Starmer pic on BBC news

[Changingplace]

Is it me? Why is this picture so staged? It looks really odd, why??

Russia can end war now, says PM as Putin warns West www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgxgvw38xjo

The official statement seems to be that the US policy remains that their long range weapons should not be used? I am not sure about the UK, some reports say the same and others not.

A US senator interviewed a few weeks ago said that there were trillions worth of minerals in Ukraine and that the US should continue to send in weapons so that Russia and China didn't "get their hands on" them. Commentators say also that Crimea is critical to control strategically in terms of Black Sea access. So on the face of it there seem to be powerful economic and ideological drivers.

I laughed when I saw it too. My mind went to Grease. The guy with his head I his hand makes it. And Peston.

Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight...

It looks like a badly staged stock photo!

Yes there may have been a US update in the last couple of days since this article and my post

On the lighter side Grease tell me more in pp is amusing. I find the laughing shot quite funny, it may also be the staging and lighting

Looks like Barry from Eastenders and Catherine Tate have joined.

'Just like that - I showed the world what an utter clown I am!'

Just like that!!! What a fucking loser.

Oh! The wit. I thought Jim Davidson had retired. Hold my splitting sides.

Boakworthy. I hoped he would be above all this shizz.

It’s not the funniest photoshop in the world. But then none of the anti-Tory memes, nicknames, caricatures etc. were or are any funnier.

You have to take the rough with the smooth. Especially when the target of the ridicule is in power.

Have we established whether the same attention has been paid to the very similar "huddle" pictures released by all other governments?

The laughing pic is a gift to photo editors

Any headline that shows the lack of care say for pensioners on under £12k freezing over winter just put that up

He’d have to go a long way to look and be more stupid than the class clowns of Sunak et al.

Pensions are going up more than winter fuel cut .

Starmer is an evil twt and even in staged photos he's still an evil twnt.

Oh silly me. I thought it was a still from the movie ‘Sex Toy Story: The Keir Chronicles’

It’s about Woody and Buzz’s love child, the aforementioned Keir, and his desire to be the quintessential nice guy, but that pesky Zurg DNA is his fatal flaw.

Evil???? 😂
