Saturday caption competition: when Hillary met David

What's the PM pointing at? Why's Hillary Clinton laughing maniacally?

By New Statesman Published 25 February 2012 13:08

Every now and then the Friday caption competition becomes the Saturday caption competition. There's no good reason -- occasionally there's too much news around on a Friday afternoon, more often than not we simply forget.

Anyway, consider this a Saturday treat -- it's better than watching the Six Nations, if nothing else.

So, what's David Cameron pointing at? And why is Hillary Clinton laughing maniacally?

Suggested captions below, please.

Hillary laughs maniacally as David points to Chris Grayling issuing 'workfare' employers with cigar tubes. Proving the UK knows how to shaft it's forced 'interns' actually as well as symbolically.
