    Is it just me that has noticed how politicians are behaving in interviews on tv .
    Body language is a large part of what you are saying ,how genuine/honest you are being is given away be minute facial muscle movements up to the swinging of arms ,shoulders ,head etc and we are all whether we know it or not , quite competent at reading body language .
    Recently watching high ranking politicians being interviewed on tv they seem to have all been on a course on how to hide body language or at least try to hide it . Over the last few days with the recent scandals they have been sat with head directly to camera, giving answers without any facial expressions what soever , no nodding of heads,no shoulder shrugging, no smiling , grimace, arms are kept stationary by their side .
    They clearly are making a concerted effort to hide their body language so much so that it stands out like a sore thumb .
    Some may think iam paranoid but remember last year when they were all using the same "power stance" in photographs ,legs apart standing sideways on like a boxer, they were literally coached to stand like that.
    Some say you know when a politician is lying because they are talking. I think they are particularly lying on mass at the moment as they are trying also to hide their body language so obviously ,
    Watch a couple of news programs and see if you agree , report here on

    Sack the lot of them.

    Lying, cheats, good for nothing waste of space.

    Not a day seems to go past without a scandal. They need to be brought to book and sacked. Instead they think they can just say sorry it was an honest mistake.

    It’s about time they started working for their constituents not themselves.

  3. A lot of them go on body language trading classes so that they can talk rubbish and lie without being found out

    Thats my point , you cannot hide body language, when you try to hide it, it is so obvious they are trying to do so.
    Ive also noted that today other than the PM no one is on the telly defending each other, maybe they've read this post and decided the game is up, best stay off the telly. But even the PM when talking about the enquiry appears to be sat on his hands where as normal he very vocal with his hands in particular .

    Animals under the road traffic act , horse,mule,sheep l, pig, bull,ass goat and dog, perhaps represent what most would describe as a animal amongst many other beasts, some would argue that humans are not ,or are also categorised as animals . Animals do use body language but not in as complex a format as humans , nor is it known how one animal responds or recognises the other animals body language.
    The mating call/dance/display of many animals , the growling of and showing of teeth before attacking and many other displays of animals is classed as body language , many animals display sympathy and empathy along with grief ,elephants for example and magpies when one of their own die. I am sure many pet owners on here will agree their pets have body language we understand of the pet and likewise the pet understand their owners body language
