Pointing, with your body too

Jack Caldwell from Edinburgh shows a fine application of the whole body pointing technique. Not just a clear hand point but a full body lean too:

There is a serious story to this pointing, of course. As the Edinburgh Liberal Democrats report:

Many constituents have raised concerns with Councillor Jack Caldwell regarding the workmanship of the pavements along the new tram route on Leith Walk and Elm Row.

Councillor Caldwell has carried out many surveys and reported broken and loose paving stones to the Council. 

Plenty more pointing to come, Jack.

A happy point, with a distracting shirt

Liberal Democrat councillor Tim Prater seems quite happy to have got the council to install a new bin. If you can pull your eyes away from his shirt for a moment, you will see a fine use of the traditional single finger point. Sometimes nothing fancy is needed, such the clear extension of one finger.

When a by-election candidate goes pointing

Welcome to proper campaigning for Andrea Kidd from Leighton Buzzard, who has upgraded herself from leaflet deliver via canvasser to town council by-election candidate with a full embrace of local community campaigning. Which involves pointing at things, of course.

Purists may argue it’s more of a double palm wave than a true point, but we’ve got a modern approach to defining pointing on this site. And sometimes a pothole is so exasperating that using both hands is justified.
