Thought for the day

I have no time to write a proper blog post, but here’s my (not very profound) thought/ confession for the day:

I think Ed Miliband is quite sexy. 

I don’t really know about his politics, so he could be a complete twat …  but he’s not a Tory, which can only be a good thing.

Apparently he was beaten by his brother in the Sky News Top Trumps, which rates politicians on various attributes including looks and charisma … (I read it in a magazine this weekend) … but I disagree.  I think he’s much better looking than David … although I do wonder how interesting it would be to hang out with an economist …

Hmmm ….

Here the man himself:

Ed Miliband

And here’s his brother: 

 

No contest.

Right.  Better stop procrastinating/ daydreaming and continue writing these damn SLT reports …

    What’s the point rating politicians on their look and charisma? They play a role in a film done for the commun people, they are role model for Mister Jo who will never know them in reality, they are only an image nowadays and an image is always sexy, they are surrounded by spin doctors so if they are funny and witty it’s not their speech, their words.
    In their real life perhaps they are boring.
    And they like power. A man attracted by power is not sexy.
    Look in France a lot of people love Lady Diana. Why? Because she gave a good glamour image of herself in good pictures everywhere in the magazines. Was she witty? Was she funny? Did she do anything to improve our daily life? Did she do anything to make a difference?
    A lot of actors, a lot of celebrities are sexy, but don’t daydream it’s not for us, in the reality there are a lot of people very interesting, very sexy and we don’t notive them, we don’t pay attention to pretty things in reality because our attention is captivated by (false and fiddled) images on TV!
    Dear SG, look around you and you’ll find a lot of genuine sexy people everywhere!

    The same in French. La même chose en Français
    Est ce que ça vaut le coup de juger des politiques sur leur look et leur charisme? Ils jouent un rôle dans un film fait pour le commun des gens. Ils sont des modèles pour Monsieur tout le monde qui ne les connaitront jamais en vrai, ils ne sont que des images de nos jours et une image est toujours sexy. Ils sont entourés de conseillers en communication alors s’ils sont drôles et spirituels ce n’est pas leur discours, ce ne sont pas leurs mots.
    Dans la vraie vie peut être ils sont ennuyeux.
    Regardez en France beaucoup de gens adore Diana. Pourquoi? Parce qu’elle a donné une belle image glamour d’elle même, partout dans les magazines. était-elle spirituelle? Etait-elle drôle? a t elle fait quelque chose pour améliorer nos vies quotidiennes? A t ‘elle fait quelque chose pour changer le monde?
    beaucoup d’acteurs, beaucoup de célébrités sont sexy, mais ne rêvassons pas, ce n’est pas pour nous, dans la réalité il y a des tas de gens intéressants, très sexy et nous ne les remarquons pas, on ne fait pas attention aux jolies choses parce que toute notre attention est captivée par des images (fausses et trafiquées) à la télé.
    Chère SG, regardez autour de vous et vous y trouverez des tas de gens réellement sexy partout.

    Oh come on - that photo of his brother is so unfair - he’s pulling some kind of weird face! At least Ed is smiling and properly posed!

    But, yeah, I see what you mean…I spose…

    Fair point, Soph. I’ve found a better, non-gurning photo of DM. Still like Ed better, though.

    [...] ages.  Perhaps it’s because I’m so easily distracted and end up checking my e-mails/fantasising about politicians every ten minutes when I should really just be knuckling down and churning the damn things [...]

    I am so confused with British political parties. . . are the Torys the conservative ones? (If so, yeah, not being overly conservative is a good thing, we won’t even start criticizing the conservative govt here in the US).

    As for judging looks and charisma in politics, the results can vary widely depending on what happenes when said person is in office. For example: John F. Kennedy won a lot of popular vote on being young and dashing, ans was a very influential president in his truncated term. But on the Bad end, our current idiot chief “W” won looking more dashing than a slightly robotic Al Gore, and nothing good came of that. . .
