LONDON -- If there's one thing politicians should have learned by now, it's that any photo they share of themselves on the Internet -- especially one that depicts them looking intently at something -- is almost guaranteed to be Photoshopped.
On Tuesday morning, David Cameron posted a photo of himself watching Tim Peake's space launch. The images showed him staring at a TV screen with a slight smile on his face.
It was great to watch Tim Peake blast off on his mission to join the International Space Station. pic.twitter.com/pqAw0ETuok— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) December 15, 2015
Minutes later, Twitter was full of images like this.

The television screen was a Photoshopper's dream come true.

Unsurprisingly, there was one key theme that kept recurring.
