I dont think anyone looks particularly flattering while zoomed in and demolishing a sandwhich. Thats an immensely petty thing to judge someone over. Was he supposed to cut it up with a knife and take tiny refined microbites or something?

What, do you just expect the Tory voters to use logic about things?
looks up “Milk Snatcher” Margaret Thatcher again
“No.”
This photo was the UK’s Harambe moment. What could have been if it never exisited

“Very foody, thanks.”
