BRAVO!

Very good
Brilliant. Will the BBC play it?
You know they won’t
No they won’t because there are too many people in the electorate who don’t get satire!
Brilliant !
Very good indeed. Labour hasn’t made enough use of satirical humour. It works.
@John D
Couldn’t agree more, John, both on the effectiveness of satire and humour, and on Labour’s failure to deploy it, though it’s always already been there, just beneath the surface in Jeremy Corbyn’s impish winks and smiles at the camera, for example in his appearance on “The One Show”.
But this wondrous piece shows how intelligence and wit are the best weapons to deploy against tyranny.
No wonder tyrants go for the writers and intelligentsia first – but especially the satirists and humourists, whose power to puncture “bloviation” is so effective.
Thanks for the kind words, Andrew. mb
Love it! Hope it goes viral, we need more humour
Can we share this? It’s brilliant
Please do
I ‘borrowed’ it without seeking permission

Sounds like the Tory approach to the NHS!
Sorry!
Borrow away, Richard, that’s what it’s for. Thanks for sharing.

I love it Mike
I hope I’ve helped it along
Thanks for doing it
love love love this
Completely agree with above sentiments. Brilliant – really professional. Humour is often the most persuasive weapon. If it went viral this would ‘bloviate’ the Tories out of the water.
Wonderful! Thank you Richard – what a shame there’s only a day to go. It deserves to go viral – I’m sharing like Billy-Oh!
The crafty title ensures that it may have upset a few tories. I’ve shared and do have at least 3 tory ‘friends’;o)
Fantastic! Scary title, though, makes you wonder what happened to Richard 🙂
Great stuff Richard thanks for sharing.
Brilliant. This has made me chuckle at a time when most political posts are just plain frustrating!! I’ve never felt so passionate about an election before as there has never been someone so honest and down to earth fighting for the people.
As my mate IVAN says this is good.
Excellent. This is why I’m voting Mr Corbyn.
Thanks so much. I haven’t seen this before and think it’s brilliantly done last have reposted it
As far as I can tell Cameron had nothing to do with ‘Hang Mandela’ posters.
You clearly are unaware of the party he joined
Just brilliant. Will share it
From deepest Estonia, where you realise the profound positive effect that Europe has had. And they are think the U.K. has gone laughably bonkers.
It has
Wonderful satire !
Hang Mandela was the work of the Federation of Conservative Students, a group so extreme (and lunatic) that they were disbanded by Norman Tebbit!!. There appears to be no evidence that Cameron was a member of the FSC or supported their views in any way. The Tories’ disgraceful support for apartheid and fascist dictators is well-known. You don’t need to smear Cameron to make the point. See:

He was a Conservative wasn’t he?
I am not rich or a Sun reader in fact I was a lifelong Labour voter but after the support many in Labour gave to the globalist EU I wouldn’t vote Labour ever again.
This is not a very productive standpoint. In UK opposition to EU and vote for Brexit has attracted from nationalist extremists to anticorporatists. Opposing some for right and some for wrong reasons. There was no happy solution for Corbyn. But today it is more important that Corbyn’s Labour policies in Manifesto are someting everybody can and should support.
like it. Sharing.
Some blaim Corbyn and Labour for Brexit. This is wrong, because EU is not something any progressive can defend without serious reservations, it is fully corporate controlled and undemocratic entity. To stay in and hope to reform it, while UK Conservatives are part of the EU Establishment is simply wrong. Crobyn has mildly supported Remain, he has done what he could. EU will drastically reform or disintegrate and Brexit was helpful in this regard.
