The guys at Power Point for Labour have created a new site – Top Hat A Tory. It’s so simple and so banal that it’s actually incredibly funny. I’m amazed how much content these guys are getting out in such a short space of time.
Top Hat A Tory
Commentary on the grubbiest part of the dirtiest business, by Benedict Pringle.
Labour are trying to shrug off all this stuff as lighthearted April Fool type japes.
The class war is a total turn off to all except already committed Lefties. It is unlikely to draw in any floating voters to the cause.
Portraying GB as a thuggish bully and caricaturing Eric Pickles as a toff(?) is absolutely NOT how Tony Blair won three Elections on the trot. It is a sure sign of how Labour have abandoned the centre ground in an attempt to shore up their more traditional hard-left support.
I agree that this is not the sort of communication that the Labour Party should be pushing out centrally. However, this is created by a group of activists with no official tie to the party. If they want to say that the Tories are a bunch of toffs that aren’t fit to run the country, it’s up to them. I think this sort of thing is aimed at (and effective at) galvanising and energising existing supporters; I doubt that any swing voters in marginal seats will come across this stuff, but that doesn’t mean it has no positive role.
So funny, a bit of fun I loved thinking of all the torys who should be top hatted
