Here’s Labour leader Ed Miliband waving across the aisle to David Cameron at the Diamond Jubilee service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral. What do you think might be being said or thought by or about them?

‘At the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Cameron and Miliband court controversy by publicly betting on the number of Lib Dem MPs that will be re-elected in 2015’
While the Prime Minister was briefly distracted, John Major used the opportunity to see if his chat-up lines still worked on Samantha Cameron.
Cameron and Miliband practice their Mirror You Mirror Me routine for the upcoming Come Dancing final, while time marches on and all around search for policies and strategies or, even, just a trace of plain common sense.
Cameron – ‘This is how to do the Royal Wave -you Oik’
Milliband – ‘More like the goodbye to Downing Street Wave – LOL’
Cameron – “You can’t even wave properly”
Miliband – “Mr Speaker, that’s pathetic”
…
Both are just feeling grateful for a spot of privacy to drop their pretence of being different and not getting along for a few minutes.
…
Cameron – “This sucks, nobody on my side wants to be seen talking to me”
Miliband – “No, same here”
“When Nick Clegg walks by, you grab the right one and I’ll grab the left.”
Ed: We’re two swords’ length apart. So no change there then!
Dave: Yeah, so let’s do a bit of air swordsmanship to pass the time…
Samcam: I’m not with him!
Justine: …and I’m not with him!
“Rock! Paper! Scissors!”
Cameron: “Yo Bro!”
Miliband: “I’ve made sure David wasn’t invited.”
Woman in grey hat- ‘what a disaster this is. Who could imagine that ‘centre aisle’ on the ticket meant we were going to be stuck in the centre of the frigging aisle – and then the two comedians in the penguin suits start waving at each other – just to draw attention to us – Embarrassing or what. I just want to curl up and die.’
‘where is the love’.. oh that was last week, and it wasn’t funny then.!
Looks like they have reverted to type and Sheldon is playing Leonard at TBBT Stone, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock…..
After several embarrassing minutes it turned out that neither of them knew sign language.
“Not often we face each other this way round.”
“Do you think she’s dropping a hint about the next election?”
Cameron: “Yes I know I have four fingers trying to get out of my right ear”.
Cameron….”Save my seat, Ed; I’ve got to nip out to find my daughter”
Major: Oh Samantha, you remind me of a young Edwina Currie
SamCam: Can we swap seats with the Milibands?
Dave: Ed, do you two want to swap with us and sit here on the left?
Ed: Stay there Dave, I can’t make a major policy decision like swapping seats until I have commissioned some research on what the voters will think.
george potter has to win for that one!
DC & EM (in harmony): “I though we were on the same side.”
DC & EM (in harmony): “That’s what my tailor said.”
In an astonishingly accurate, almost textbook illustration of the complexity of modern British politics, Cameron sits on the Left and waves with his Right, while Miliband sits on the Right and waves with his Left.
Hmm… paper and paper. You both could have won with scissors. That round’s a draw, then.
Either “No, this is the sound of one hand clapping !”.
