David Cameron's drinking

[jacster33]

What do you think of the pictures of David Cameron drinking Guinness at 3.30pm in the afternoon, with new baby daughter in the room?
Responsible parenting?

I like Sam's dress.
Agree with MaMoTTaT - looks like awful guiness. He's got that look on his face I get when someone gives me tea with sugar in and I try to pretend it's okay.

Oh no Hassled I'd rather guiness than lager at 3.30p.m.

Well, if you really want my opinion, I think that you're a rather lazy journalist. There are so many crap political decisions that you could be critical about but that would require several things on your part, not least a bit of proper research and intelligence.

I couldn't care less about DC drinking a pint, baby or no baby.

On the Mail website a lot of people seem to be getting upset that the photos are staged and trying to give the impression he's one of us.

Really? Daily Mail readers getting upset about something? Well that changes everything. If those well known liberals have an issue with it there must be a problem

but this isn't the Mail, it's Mumsnet

[puzzled]

ARE you a journo? Trying to get an angle?

I think jacster33 is one of us, winding us up, she's had a few glasses herself already

Whereas here on Mumsnet we don't give a fuck...

If I'd just given a speech to a party conference Id want more than a pint of Guinness.

Rubbish journalist with no concept of apostrophe use. Or forum fishing.

Disaster.

Take a break or Chat? What's the betting gals?

'On the Mail website a lot of people seem to be getting upset'

ROFL

ARe we sure that the guiness was for him or was he actually giving it to the baby?

I agree that the Guinness needs to settle!

He;s clearly doing what the rest of us are doing...making the most of the child benefit before it goes up the swanee.

There's a difference between a typo and a grammatical error, Jacster. I'm proud of my typos. But I know where an apostrophe is not wanted.

And I'm not a journalist.

It is strange though don't you think? I mean, I'd have put him down as a white wine man myself.. I just didn't see the Guiness coming at all.

Just googled DC and Guinness and it seems he's been a fan for a long while.
I guess it's all part of cultivating a certain image

I'm still not convinced it's actually a Guiness unless it's

a) a really REALLY badly poured pint - in which case he's just found his first job cut he can make - the barman!

b) literally just been handed to him and is surging extremely slowly.

I'm more inclined to think it's something along the lines of what Posie has suggested further up.

oh yes - I know he likes his Guinness - there's other pictures of him drinking Guiness that isn't brown.
I guess is could be Guinness red - but I'm not convinced

Or maybe someone said, 'You want a beer?' and he said 'Yeah a guinness would be nice'

Blimey in the same photo...he's knocking back the booze and she's wearing her multi million pound frock

Call the mumsnet police someone!

I think it is poured from a can.

In my professional opinion, it's a badly poured pint of stout [barmaid emoticon]
As in, they just poured the whole thing in one go, without leaving it to settle at all.
You can see the tiny black line at the bottom where it is just beginning to settle.

I reckon he must have poured it then - and the can is hiding behind him
