Inept Tories at it again

Tuesday, 28th August 2007

Oh dear. Is this really the best the Tories can come up with?


Don't Let Brown Let EU Down
It took me about a minute to work out that it's a pun on bad pronunciation. What possible use is a slogan which you have to sit down and work out?

While I was away I watched on with amusement the utter cock-up of the Tory NHS campaign. Serves the gutless social democrats right for pledging to throw ever greater sums of our money down the NHS drain.

UPDATE: Iain Dale has the same reaction.

Clearly, this is their new thing as they also have a health campaigned called NHyes.

It's the profundity, stupid! This is in the same category as "Are you thinking what I'm thinking"? It has hidden depths.....

Sorry, Lee, but if this slogan has hidden depths, they seem quite effectively hidden, as Churchill might have said.
