You’ve taken the Tosser Test, and now for your delight and delectation, the Ministry of Truth is proud to present the first screenshot from the Conservative Party’s upcoming ‘Sort-It’ campaign on Race Relations - we’re sure it’ll be a roaring success…

Yes. you have to hand it to Dave and the Tories, he’s really down with the yoof of today and as street as it gets…
…
… as long as the street in question happens to be Mayfair.
There’s votes in them thar ethnics…
‘Dave’ gets down and gets with it in the ‘hood. Ministry of Truth has a suggestion for a tosser-style campaign to allow ‘Dave’ to connect with his inner ethnicity…….
December 7th, 2006 at 9:12 pmBy baffled by this one; what’s the point ofthe post?
December 7th, 2006 at 10:20 pmIt throws my mean, callous, heartless exterior into sharp relief.
Alternatively you could take it as pisstake of a toff pretending to relate to the real world.
December 7th, 2006 at 11:27 pmtake it off
December 8th, 2006 at 3:51 pmNot funny at all….and the more I look at it, the more offensive I find it. Don’t normally read your blog but I do read Cllr Piper’s.
December 8th, 2006 at 4:38 pmOh now who’s a clever boy? Well done! Might I suggest however that taking up crochet might be a more productive way of spending your time…especially with Christmas coming up and all. This kind of offering is going to put you in a verrrrrrrrrry bad light with Santa who will definitely feel that you have been very naughty and not at all nice! I have recently left the Labour Party and crossed over to The Other Side, mainly in part to what I saw as a superfluous amount of this sort of juvenile witticisms. This is supposed to be satire? This is supposed to be clever? Oh dearey me. Yes it made me think alright. It made me think “Thank God I am with the grownups now”…..Oh and by the way I am black, female with a bit of Jewish blood running through my veins. And ’some of my best Tory friends are gay’ — so if you are going to attempt to be so clever, at least try to get more of your facts right. Respectfully yours, Miss Mindbender
December 9th, 2006 at 12:31 amYou’ll be telling us next that Cameron actually used the phrase “hug a hoodie”.
December 9th, 2006 at 11:45 amWhat I’ll be telling you next is a little tale of the piss poor efforts of a bunch Tory fakers to engineer a faux outrage, one which reflects only their own stupidity and ignorance.
December 9th, 2006 at 11:53 amWell Cameron did introduce fixed ethnic minority candidate quotas which the UN defines as racist, and as a member of White’s the toff club for men only, you’ve got to wonder what experience he really has of ethnic minorities on any level apart from being his staff.
Equality means treating people equally. Why is that so hard for Cameron to understand?
December 9th, 2006 at 1:17 pmps I like the site header. Does that mean that both Labour and the Tories have their own Guido now!
December 9th, 2006 at 1:20 pmSorry.. Mayfair isn’t a street. Got another cliche you can pop in its place?
December 9th, 2006 at 9:56 pm“Look, it’s perfectly OK for me to tell jokes like this - some of my best friends are Tories. I used to have one as a neighbour….”
Lovely, I’m amazed how that is terribly offensive and yet the very ads you are lampooning supposedly aren’t. What it takes to be down with the kids nowadays, hey…
December 9th, 2006 at 11:22 pmBob Piper, Unity and Prague Tory…
Not quite sure what the fuss is here. Prague Tory takes exception to something posted up by Bob Piper, created by Unity. I wouldn’t call it the most biting or incisive of witticims, to be sure and yes, as Tom…
December 10th, 2006 at 10:38 amWhat is the point of this anti semitism?
December 10th, 2006 at 11:10 amI suppose the point is to attack Jews
December 10th, 2006 at 3:49 pmBRING BACK THE BLACK & WHITE MINSTRELS.
And FLOGGING.
December 10th, 2006 at 5:48 pmWell I laughed at it. Don’t let the politically correct fraternity gag you My Unity. Maybe you could try portraying DC as The Prophet Mohammed next time. Dares you!
December 10th, 2006 at 8:31 pmIt’s down.
A CLEAR CASE OF THE ZIONIST CONSPIRACY AT WORK.
Sickening.
December 10th, 2006 at 8:56 pmI didn’t find this especially funny, but nor do I find it especially offensive. Indeed, in drawing parallels between experiences of impoverishment, class, and race, I think that it is exceptionally well-founded. Of course, on that level, it could just as well have been done with Tony Blair.
December 10th, 2006 at 9:08 pmIt’s good to see New Labour reclaiming the icons of working class British culture from the far right.
First the Cross of St George is hoisted by that great patriot Billy Bragg, next Gordon Brown wraps his mighty bulk in the Union Flag - and now the Black and White Minstrels (pbut) are rehabilitated. They’ll be bringing back National Service and the Gold Standard next.
Keep up the good work.
December 11th, 2006 at 11:11 pmThere is no need to attack Jews? History has been there and done that. Can we not be more civilised?
