at least it's honest.

Tom Feilding

Spotted what?
 
And what happened on Sat?

Man, you really hate diet soft drinks.

Matt Smith

Worse still is Coke Zero. Those who claim that wretched drink possesses "Real Coke Taste" (clearly implying that it tastes the same as real proper sugarfied Coke without actually saying that, for obvious trading standards reasons) are in dire need of a high-velocity knee to the ghastliness.

I've been on a sugary drinks binge today following an encounter with norovirus, and I swear that regular Coca-Cola has gives you a 'kick' that Pepsi doesn't. Pepsi is just watery, sugary, it has none of the edge. And it seems to be either too carbonated or flat seconds after opening the bottle. Pepsi is basically own-brand cola with a marketing budget.

In fairness, Ed doesn't look like he actually has his mouth open.

Daniel Thomas MacInnes

The problem, obviously, is that they're both drinking from tiny soda bottles.  Real American Men drink from large, enormous, kidney-bursting Mega Super Ultra Gulps!!1!
Aside from the fact that they're politicians who look like they're cloned from a factory, that's all I got.  Do I win a prize?

Darren

I've spotted it, yeah.  They're at The Haçienda.

Wait, what we were supposed to spot was that they're drinking diet? I thought it was that they're obviously not drinking it, instead holding it to their lips. I thought this was a commentary on how false Labour are. Confused now.

Irish Al

And they’re really tiny little bottles.

Captain Caveman

I didn't think the anomaly was their selected beverage; my money was on their apparently being somewhere industrial, given that when these people were in charge of the Country, they destroyed most of it?
Perhaps it's a 'post industrial' call centre or nationalised bank branch or something. Frankly, I'm only surprised that the aptly named Messrs. Gray/Balls didn't reverse their caps in a crass attempt to get down with the (unemployed, unemployable, uneducated) kids.

No Name

I vote for the fuchsia baseball caps. As well as everything mentioned above.

Dr Octagon

I thought it was the blue tie !

Tom K.

It’s as simple as this:

They look like a pair of prats.

Nitpicker

They were wearing coke-branded caps which were hastily photoshopped by the Labour PR team?

Rory

Is it not more the fact that it isnae made in Scotland fae girders?
