A chummy message from Eric Pickles

Sally Chatterjee

Con gain!

Weird I was going to post that on the Wall.

I'm surprised Dave has let him anywhere near a camera after his train wreck on QT

sylvia

Oh dear!!

Irene

I like Eric - he does this sort of thing very well.

Malcolm

Is there a lilo anywhere that would be up to the job of supporting Mr Pickles, or was this just wishful thinking?

Alexandrovich

He wears his hat at a 'jaunty handle'?

Chuck Unsworth

Well, difficult not to smile at Pickles, but a little less serious might be more entertaining - and memorable.

Dunno why, but he reminds me of a BBC Light Programme variety show compere....

Jeremy

For so long as a man like Eric Pickles can say the words: "The Totness All-Postal Ballot Primary"....you know that England lives^^

The shirt and the braces are excellent, although I like the tie-pin, too.

The man is clearly a legend.

Hurrah!

John B Sheffield

Our own John Prescott at times! okay for the real committed part members but when it comes to the public and voters, a turn off!

David Ossitt

He started with "Hello chums" he is truly priceless.

Alexandrovich

Chuck Unsworth: that wouldn't be Billy Cotton by any chance?

Hysteria

he is probably the sort of chap who calls chaps "chaps"

Deeply unimpressive

Was that Mabel at the table?

Good that.

Got to one of the few things i've ever watched with concentration in regard to LibLabCon- apart from Kinnock’s final Labour rally at Leeds Town Hall, 1987 (this as an impressionable 14 year old).

Pickles and his team seem- er, human?

First things first; (seriously) Pickles needs to lose some weight and get fit. He’s going to be no use to no-one if there’s a good chance of him keeling over as the ‘blood pressure moments’ start arriving thick and fast. He seems to be an asset. Don’t lose the bloke.

Tip one; Eat healthy, have the pints on a weekend only and walk about more. Don’t try. Do it.

Six more tips;

Tip two- Don’t canvass in a dying pit town. This would be the equivalent of Nick Griffin canvassing at a Mela.

Tip two- Lisbon Treaty = Bad.

Tip three- Unlimited immigration = Bad

Tip four- Combine the Conservative vote with the UKIP/BNP vote and you’ve got more of a combined percentage of Right wing votes than all the rest put together.

“We don’t need 'their' votes!” you may be tempted to say. You will. The inner cities of the North, Midlands etc are not the Stick towns of Norfolk

Tip five- If you do get in, start to build up our industry again by developing/reinvesting into our last generation of skilled tradesman- that when they retire in the next decade or so, will be lost forever.

Tip six- Support our Troops, support their families. Focus on the UK personnel on the ground instead of how our NuLab politicians are more interested in focusing on their own worthless inept hides.

Follow that and you won’t go far wrong.

Who is this targeted at and with what purpose? Appalling PR but maybe good internal communications.

Did nothing for me though, much as I like Pickles as a politician - but that is not saying a great deal.

Jez

Ian;

It's an internal communication that also doubles to bring people on board.

I found it a quite warm, cheerful presentation.

Most people could relate to something in that video.

1. office just like yours

2. young lad- big of a 'hooray' but nice kid

3. asian girl

4. fit blonde

5. cheerful jovial Pickles

6. a sense of acheivement

7. future ambition

8. a clean idealistic atmosphere.

Compare that to NuLab's attempts at internet PR.

Yes that's correct;

NuLab's is sh*te.

Polly Gamma

No

David Ossitt

Polly Gamma

That's a maybe then?

Robert E Lee

A PR disaster. Inarticulate,blimpish and risible. Bring back Teresa May; anyone but this buffoon. He and Prescott are like two peas in a pod.
