No, I couldn't find any pictures of Joe Biden holding a camera. Neither do I expect Joe Biden to be a truly great president. But at least he once worked with one (even if Obama didn't achieve everything he set out to do, he remained a decent figurehead throughout).
The main thing Biden has in his favour is that he's Not Trump. In the same way I voted for Corbyn purely because was not Not Boris. Frankly, the Democrats could have put Tom Hanks & Michael Bolton on the ticket and I'd have voted for them instead of Trump. Just as Labour could field James Corden with Bono as deputy and I'd be putting my X in their box, no matter how detestable I find them both.
I'll leave the final word today to Sam, aged 7, yet already an expert political analyst.

Excellent as ever! Re. Racey - well it was the late '70s, a coming-of-age era for me... I was getting heavily into punk but I went to a crappy disco where I drank a lot of cider and there was a boy who I fancied like mad but he was no good for me as everyone else fancied him too and he knew it - and a little yard behind the venue and... well, Racey were playing, that's all you need to know!
