No caption necessary, Ed. It says it all, from whichever camp you come from!
I think it shows why Cameroonians like DC, and it shows why Davis fans are having a like trouble accepting him... It shows DD as something slightly darker, meaner (for which some of us like him, as being more 'real', and why others despise him.)
A really classic picture.

Is Cameron saying:
"If you sit up and beg like this you can be shadow minister for paperclips"

Davis looks to the exit as Cameron conducts the the audience.

Would it be too horrid to suggest:
"Davis eyes up another back in preparation for his next strike."
