Baby V Politico: Hilarious Photos Of Politicians And Children

NEW DELHI: The United Kingdom heads to the polls in less than a month, and if there’s anything that the election trail leading up to it proves it is that politicians and children do not gel.

David Cameron learned this the hard way in Alnwick, Northumberland where -- in addition to being told to go “F*** off to Eton” -- Cameron was snubbed by a little girl. The young citizen hid behind her mum with a look that the UK press has described as “Scary man, please go away.”

Just a few days before that, the British Prime Minister had an equally awkward encounter with a six-year-old Boulton schoolgirl. The girl made headlines when images emerged of her plopping her head down on her book in apparent boredom as Cameron tried to read with her.

Cameron, however, is by no means alone in boring/distressing the young. Planning a career in politics and think a photo-op with a group of children is going to lead to a spike in your popularity ratings?
