…or four blonde toffs in a car. I suspect it would be inaccurate to call this a think-tank as there is no evidence of any thought occurring. The Tory “Stand-up speak-up” campaign has in this video generated one of the best illustrations of why the Tories JUST DON’T HAVE A CLUE.
It’s difficult to tell what really is the most inane comment. Highlights include;
1. how extended family support keeps Victoria Beckham and Peter André together
2. how £2,800 a year (family allowance?) isn’t enough to live on in London, and,
3. how it ought to be paid monthly instead of yearly so poor people can learn to budget
4. how poor people ought to be forced to live where they were born instead of coming to London
5. how terribly lucky the four blondes are to be toffs
6. how tax breaks for marriage are not about the money but a statement about how we all think marriage is such a great thing
and there’s more
PLEASE - If anyone knows the names of any of the four blonde toffs, let me know so I can ask for a follow-up interview. One toff is off camera so I’m just guessing she’s blonde.
UPDATE
It occurs to me that the SUSU campaign banner is exhorting tories to vote on proposals before debating them. surely it should be the other way around? In fact, instruction 2a could be “find brain cell” - 2b “stimulate brain cell” - 2c “go have a Pimms and a lie down until you feel better”

My guess is that they are extended family members of Boris Johnson. I think this is a way of getting ageing male Tories to take an interest. Throw in some blonde totty.

If you think that banner is bad. You should see the one they have done on Europe with sun readers in mind - Don’t let Brown let EU down. Its seems to me that the Tories have moved on from Micheal Howard’s Are you thinking what we are thinking to Are you not thinking? us neither.

One of isn’t that stupid pretentious imbecile Caroline ‘I’m big & hard ‘cos I swear’ Hunt is it ??

Caroline Hunt’s not blonde - but I guess that doesn’t ruler her out as the one off camera that RM is just assuming is blonde.

Are you telling me Caroline Hunt is for real? I thought the blog was a concocted piece of nonsense sending up the typical brainless wonder that is a Tory girl. Please tell me it’s not for real.

Sheffield University alumni know SUSU as the abbreviation of Sheffield University Students Union.
Caroline Hunt may not be the world’s sharpest blogger but she is one of the prettier ones. There are many worse writers than Miss Hunt, without her redeeming qualities. Have we become so culturally debased that even our memories of chivalry have been erased?

Gruff - If Ms Hunt were to display more of her ‘redeeming qualities’ on her blog I might agree. Mind you, I do accept that puts her many miles ahead of the awful woman North.

Caroline Hunt is a great deal smarter than these dimwits - don’t be such a bunch of twats!

Is there a video showing how the Tories come up the their latest Happy Planet Index idea?
