Get Darling Barred!

I fully support this cause, and encourage other pubs to follow the example of this Scottish pub:

YOU'LL never eat lunch in this town again: the landlord of the Easter Road bar and eatery, Utopia, has placed a poster in his window, warning Alistair Darling to keep off the premises...
It shows a noose above Mr Darling's head, with "Barred" above his picture and "Not Welcome In This Pub" below. It is owner James Hughes' personal protest against new duties on beer, wine and spirits in this month's Budget.
"The poster is meant to be humorous, but to make it clear to punters that it is not us who are putting prices up, but Mr Darling," he said. "The noose signifies that it is the government who should be hanged and not the licensed trade." (The Scotsman)
All pubs should show this poster created by Devil's Kitchen in order to show their displeasure at yet more taxes being showed on booze.

Winning on Campus? Not with these.

University campuses are often regarded as breeding grounds of the Left. But, really, they're not all that much so any more. Certainly in my experience at Essex, once a hot-bed a Lefty radicalism, the lecturers were far more so than the students. But I don't think that these new posters [via Shane Greer], produced by the Young Britons' Foundation really work very well.



They don't really mean anything, or say anything. I think they are underestimating and over-sexualising students by proposing such posters.

Shane thinks that they are "just the ticket for university conservative groups across the UK" because they are "fun, edgy, and... exciting". I think they're just pretty sad, really. They don't seem "edgy" at all, but a retreat to mere sexualisation.

No-one is going to be persuaded to join the Conservative Party by pictures of topless men or girls looking deeply into the camera. They might be by posters which actually represent what the Conservatives mean. The Boris posters that were given out last year by Conservative Future societies at Freshers Fairs last year are far superior to this offering. At least they were actually somehow connected to the party itself, and not just a transparent attempt to be mildly pornographic.

Life's better under a Conservative - but these posters aren't the best way to make it happen.

Campaign In A Key Marginal!

Want an opportunity to campaign in one of the tightest marginals in the country? Then go here and take up the opportunity to participate in a rare three-way marginal, where less than two thousand votes decide which party wins the seat - where either a Labour, Conservative or Lib Dem could be sent back to Westminster [despite the Lib Dems lies to the contrary].

If Cameron is to win, or even significantly reduce Brown's majority, he needs to win Watford. And as such Ian Oakley, Watford PPC, needs support.

After all, by this time next week, an election could well have been called!
