Cameron laughs off selfie criticism

David Cameron has defended himself against criticism for posing for a “selfie” photograph at the memorial service for former South African president and anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela.

The Prime Minister was pictured with US president Barack Obama and Danish PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt – the daughter-in-law of former Labour leader Lord Kinnock – as the three bunched together and smiled for a cameraphone snap in the FNB Stadium in Soweto.
