Labour Go Negative
Labour’s campaign seems so devoid of original ideas that they have taken to stealing internet memes again. As Brown lectures us about Cameron’s use of image over policy, his party machine has officially commandeered a grassroots geek campaign that was doing the rounds. Just as with the #welovethenhs hashtag that dominated fifteen minutes of silly season, Victoria Street have seen something successful and decided to jump on the bandwagon.
Clifford Singer, an eccentric figure with a history of quixotic attacks from the left, seems to have got lucky this time with his MyDavidCameron.com attack site. The campaign gained traction across Twitter and blogs. Amusingly Labour’s “Twitter Tsar” Kerry McCarthy, who made such a big deal about negative campaigning when the #KerryOut campaign was directed at her, quickly changed her tune when it was Dave being attacked.
Labour have now lifted Singer’s “Is What You See What You’d Get?” on to their website, officially endorsing the negative campaign and revealing just how personally they are going to go after Cameron, just as the Tories are going to make this about Brown. Guido thinks it’s going to be fun…
A bit of (free) advice to Sue Macmillan and Labour’s digital team; campaigns that only run on little visited websites don’t really work.* The official Labour Party site is usually visited only by the party faithful. You have to push your message out. Look at what the Tories are doing, they are paying to advertise their Cameron videos on YouTube, reaching out to people who are not already signed up supporters. There are no votes to be gained from repeating your message to faithful party supporters on the official website or the party affiliated sites like LabourList and LabourHome.
*Dizzy points out just how little visited Labour’s online assets are by comparing the online engagement results for the Ed Miliband championed ‘LabourSpace’ which has garnered 9 votes for its latest round of consultations at the same time as the Tories draft Health Manifesto’s got 40,200 votes from 2,612 people.
Labour can only go negative as they have fu*k all to be positive about!
still surprised they got that many stupid people who believe the lies enough to make posters.
Although some are hardly even negative towards the tories, like the boris and elvis ones
Labour spin and attack machine getting into gear it would seem. Let’s face it though, they have nothing to be positive about, which really says it all. And of course “its the right thing to do”. I do not get this airbrush jibe it is common place Brown, Blair etc, have all been made to look good its what is done nowadays. Do they believe people will give a damn, I don’t.
In the cold light of day Brown was awful at PMQs. His endless repetition of the airbrush ‘material’ was hollow and lame to put it mildly. What a low base he starts from.
A loon and a liar.
It is dangerous for labour to use the “Is what you see, what you’d get?” line, because with several rival factions with rival campaigns in labour, Brown doing the class war and Miliband/Mandelson doing the Aspirational campaign, and Harman doing the sexist/racist campaign and Johnson just sitting back and waiting to see what happens. WHO the fuck is going to be leading labour in six months time? Nobody knows!!!
That said, one could use exactly the same poster, but witha picture of Brown on it instead of Cameron, and add the line “Unfortunately yes!” to the end.

hehehehehehehehehe
I think ‘mentally unstable, hypocritical, scrotum faced liar’ may actually prove far too mild and restrained an attack on Brown.
Agree. But the best way to combat it is to outdo them and there is no shortage of material. The McNoseminer photos in Mr Fawkes earlier video cry out for creative use, where are all those online graffiti geeks?
Meanwhile this is rather ingenious especially for a clunky thunky Liebour website. How about a copycat here so we can help journos get it right?

They really do not give a shit how much of our money they waste, do they?
My attempt at a poster:
http://usera.imagecave.com/MrNed/posters/poster1.jpg
I wish we could airbrush Brown away.
If Labour are serious about promoting the Airbrushed for Change parody, then they have to realise that it can seriously bite them in the bum. Using an opponent’s campaign, even if parodying it, only confirms that the opponent’s campaign is successful otherwise there would be no point in parodying it as no one would be able to understand the parody. In fact all the different Airbrushed for Change posters just make me laugh AT the Labour party rather than the Tories.
Thank you so much for your advice to Sue Macmillan,Guido.
I shall pass it on.
Any more free advice much appreciated
Kill yourself you Hunt. That’s free too.
Are Labour in breach of copyright by using that image?
They are in breach of many things just add that to the list.
Cry God for Harry, England, and Saint George!
Our advice is to Sue Brown.
(We’d sue Heath too, but since he’s a stiff …..)
Negative, true. But totally shite. All public presentation material is airbrushed nowadays. The public don’t think it’s unusal at all.
Though you have to admit that Cameron’s picture looks like it has been wafted to Earth on the breath of digital angels.
Or the best work of a top botox surgeon…..
Same guy who worked on my top botox maybe!
Why don’t you use that picture of Bruin with the orange make up splodge on his face to make a poster as a rebuttal?
Agree. He looks a twat. In fact, any poster that informs the public of his mental issues would also be of benefit. The public should be aware of any medical issues concerning the man or woman with their finger on our nucler button, hence why Mr Obama has regular medical checks.
Thank God, Yeltsin was far too pissed to find any such devices!
Correction: HE IS A TWAT.
and a tosser!
Normally I would agree, but this country has become so pathetic and liberal that we have to give people a go at things even if they have a disability that clearly prevents them from being remotely capable of whatever it is that they want to do.
If we had bilboards attacking Brown’s mental state, that would create sympathy for the useless, fuckmuppet.
We saw what the sun’s expose of his utter inability to communicate in writing better than a 6 year old did for him.
“aw bless, he’s trying his best”
“yeah but he is fucking everything up”
“yeah, but he can’t help it, don’t be nasty”
I really cannot begin to comprehend how this retarded example of de-evolved protoplasm became Prime Minister.
If anything it confirms an illuminati conspiracy to convince us all that the ruling elite should be from a single bloodline. They found the most inept, incapable waste of energy on the planet, made him Prime Minister without any elective mandate whatsoever, just to prove to us peons that “See, just because anyone can become Prime Minister, it does NOT mean that anyone should!”
The last thing anyone should do is try to create any sympathy whatsoever for this ruinous example of gross ineptitude.
“I really cannot begin to comprehend how this retarded example of de-evolved protoplasm became Prime Minister. ”
It’s the question the media won’t ask eh?
I wonder if the young Gordon Brown’s KGB-funded backers had any ideas?
Here you go: http://up2.it/11e.jpg
nice
Any chance of one similar to the Call me Dave one so we can put in our own slogans?
it’s a labour one… they can’t afford it to be as glossy as the cameron one!
Some advise to get perhaps personal but not nastily negative:
Adam Smith wrote the ‘Wealth of Nations’.
Gordon Brown is writing the ‘Poverty of Nations’.
Ok, conservatives treasurer, my bank accounts is ….
“Is what you see what you’d get” – this from the party that promised a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty???!!!!!?
And a referendum on PR.
Lying to you – because it’s the right thing to do.
Guido said: “There are no votes to be gained from repeating your message to faithful party supporters on the official website or the affiliated semi-official sites like LabourList and LabourHome.”
I beg to disagree. Normally there are no votes to be gained. But surely doesn’t this show how desperate Labour are to ensure not even their core vote disappears at the General Election??
Liebour simply but votes for throw away the votes against them. Remember Glasgow East.
Keep an eye on the massive postal vote fraud planned

Labour have plenty of ideas, they just know that the British wouldn’t vote for them. Like their idea of pushing multiculture, EU and a raft of other hidden agendas they have presided over the last dozen years.
And PR Cameron is just a carbon-copy of Blair. All bs with no integrity.
A hung parliament sounded like a great idea until I found out it only meant a government without a majority. Still, it is a start.
This is evidence Labour still think they are atop the moral high ground-clowns
If they has a nose for political smell they would realise that the high ground they think themselves on is in fact a dung heap, and a collapsing one at that.
40,200 votes from 2,612 people.
No doubt the PLP will suggest Mr E. Blackadder had a hand in that one!
or Mr Glen Rothes….
Or Burmingham councilers
Mr Bean more like.

Baldrick representing the Adder Party won with a majority of 16,472.
Registered voters within the constituency? 1 a Mr E Blackadder
A few other other slogans the conservatives could use. They’re not negative, just to the point
Labour is working. It’s borrowing an extra 3.5 billion pounds every week.
Labour. We work for you. Every day we increase the budget deficit by another 500 million pounds.
Labour. This year we borrow for you the equivalent of 9,000 pounds per full-time job in the private sector.
and
It takes courage to borrow another 3.5 billion pounds every week
and
I said no more baam and bust. But now I increase the country’s debt by 500 million pounds a day.
that should have been BOOM and bust – I hope that was my ned moment for the day
Obama and the busty intern – but that’s another story.
Nice one postal vote, the trouble is if you read the posts last night from the trolls they still think what they are doing is the right thing, which is a bit of a worry. Its these delusion-ed idiots that got us into this mess and are doing very little ,other continuous overspending, to get us out of it.
Silly name calling such as calling Tories Toff’s is all Nu Lab amount to, “ALL PISS AND WIND” as we say here in Birmingham.
I’m a working class lad running my own small firm which has ridden out the recession threw blood sweat and tears, I have no business debts, I have never borrowed for my firm and my firm is cash positive, despite several customers going bust owing me money. Engineering in the West Mids and surrounding counties has been decimated by the incompetence and miss management of the banking system. Engineering provides massive employment in this area and brings in huge amount of money from abroad through exporting and has done so since Mathew Bolton and James Watt stuck a Steam Engine into the Royal Mint, thus kicking off the industrial revolution. A great oppurtunity is here in the Midlands to kick of a new ‘Green’ Revolution, the engineering base has been here 250 years, why not use it before we loose it, I want action not name calling.
If the UK would merely repeal its draconian gun-laws then 30 million people investing 500 quid a time in a piece of home protection could kick-start BSA and the other traditional Birmingham industries too.
Save a fortune on prison places too.
Like it:)
Labour: 300bn quid of debt for your kids to pay off just so that we can buy 1bn quid of ‘growth’ before an election.
Labour: If we were any more incompetent we’d forget to breath.
Labour: That ‘quick war’ in Iraq to bump up our popularity didn’t work did it?
Seriously I think the Tories need to run with the 300bn quid of debt for your kids to buy 1bn quid of growth angle.
I’m sure I saw a (US I think) ad which had kids working in a foundry and on the roads – the point being the same. We’re committing our kids to costs that we’re unwilling to pay right now.
That’s not doing the right thing.
That’s just pushing the problem onto somebody else.
That’s not ‘taking the tough decisions’ – that’s forcing somebody else to make the tough decisions.
The Tories should be playing the generational unfairness of this for all it’s worth. It will resonate with every grandparent, parent, young taxpayer and teenager in the country.
It’s just not right. Baby boomers like Brown et al pulling up the pension date for those that are coming behind them just as surely as they pulled up the grammar school ladder and the free university grants ladder.
Because unlike our parents they’re not prepared to pay their way and not prepared to make the sacrifices and take the tough decisions.
Bastards.
The abolition of a formal retirement age, and the consequent moving of the State Pension entitlement is understandable, but oh so cynical.
“I’m sure I saw a (US I think) ad which had kids working in a foundry and on the roads – the point being the same. We’re committing our kids to costs that we’re unwilling to pay right now.”
A nice angle, but the tories don’t want to push this – they supported the bloody bail outs. They support 9/10s of the crippling public sector spend. They’re as much committed to enslaving our grandchildren as labour are.
That’s 0% growth on £300bn. When are the banks going to release that into the economy? The BOE lied when they said they would buy corporate debt. Almost all QE went into Gov’t debt. to fund Ruin’s utopia. The Brown stuff will hit the fan soon…
Perhaps highlighting Labours broken promises prior to their radical manifesto could help. You know, mixed sex wards, tuition fees, Lisbon referendum, school fields etc. Reminders of the price Brown got for our gold and how he has ended boom and bust.
Gold sales is what the Reef Fish really understand, and will sign up to.
With all the Cash for Gold adverts on TV during the JK daytime slots, it will be easy to strike right into traditional Labour Hearts.
Good point. Well made. Although the Jeremy Kyle watchers are probably still delighted to get 400USD an ounce from those rip-off merchants.
Perhaps the treasury should offer cash-for-gold to the muppets and try and buy it all back at 1/4 the world price.

Read this in the indie and wish I’d wrote it “Most of us who are in the real world only want him to make one pledge and that’s ‘I’LL PISS OFF AND NEVER DARKEN THE POLITCAL DOORSTEP AGAIN’. The man has no idea of the public bitterness against him together with a level of distrust that he has brought upon himself by his incompetence, lies and lack of understanding of the lives of ordinary souls. Any political pledges he seeks to make similar to those made in the early days of NuLabour will be only seen as an attempt to save his own political career and simply not worth the paper they are written on. This man is so impervious to what contempt he is held by the majority of people in this Nation that there is no prospect of him doing anything likely to make human and social conditions in this Land any better. For God sake Brown – GO”
why don’t the Tories use a still of brown gurning from that YouTube video with the strapline “what you see is what you get”.
Can’t mock it up myself as travelling but would love to see one if someone is bored!
It will certainly frighten all young voters and women!!
That’s a ‘recovery’ in Labour parlance. They were 7 – 2.
Now 23-2.

Bollocks.
I did it is linked in a comment above
Is what you see what you’ll get … probably. A smooth PR man fronting a reasonably sensible and reasonably competent Cabinet.
Can’t see this pathetic attempt doing much damage.
Can you image putting a poster of Brown anywhere and expecting a positive reaction. The nation would collectively puke.
Time was, we would have held out for better.
Now, the prospect of decent competence is thrilling.

And I remember Treasury staff –supposedly the cream of Britain’s administrative corps– applauding Brown into the Department in May 97. I wonder if they would applaud Osborne and if not , why not . We are long overdua a clearout at the BBC, but surely Whitehall should be examined; do you remember all the jean clad civil servants (!!) appplauding Mandelsohn on his first day at the Trade ministry.

Auntie’s response: “The BBC Trust said any proposed change must not put the public value of the BBC or its independence against inappropriate political or commercial influence at risk.” – an independence they make no use of under Labour but which you can bloody well guarantee will be the grounds for much squawking under the Tories.
Negative campaign.
Negative leadership.
Negative equity.
Negative deficit.
Negative debt.
Negative past.
Negative present.

Labour – nothing positive to offer.
I thank you.
Yes, but negative debt ? If only.
Double-negative debt, more like.
I know that. But yer average voter is still fooled by such things as NLP devices as ‘negative growth’ ie putting a positive spin (‘growth’) on recession.
Labour can hardly argue ‘actually we’ve got four times as much debt so strictly speaking it is positive debt – ner ner ner ner ner’. Can they?
Although Brown is that stupid.
Like the last strap line a lot!
A compare and contrast poster campaign beckons:
Dave may be airbrushed by at least he doesn’t eat his bogies on live TV.

No follow previous thread Jonas – do keep up darling.
How stupid is Labour? How utterly short-sighted? How bereft of vision? Do they not understand that if *they* take it personal, then the opposition is greenlighted to do the same? And do they not see that a gurning, orange-splodged, sweating, piss-stinking, lardy, psychotic sack of shit *might* be a touch less appealing than a chubby-cheeked PR man with a touch too much foundation?
The campaign itself is uninteresting – it’s what ti reveals about the fundamental stupidity of socialists that’s fascinating. They really don’t – and never have – understood *consequences*. A child does – Labour can’t. So they didn’t grasp what the welfare state would do to society. They can’t comprehend the unreconcilable contradictions of identity politics and “equality”. Inflation is a mystery to them. The market, how it works and why it should be left alone – a big blank. They’re just fucking thick.
Socialists: fucking thick, fucking ugly, fucking nasty – fuck off. How’s that for an election slogan? Or: Labour; c’unts, the fucking lot of ‘em.
You can have either of those Dave. My gift.
Which is probably why all you seem to get from labour is ill thought out knee jerk reactions for their policies

Its pretty fundamental really if you cant be trusted to keep your sticky fingers out of the till and manage your own affairs prudently, no surprises at the state of the UK finances at the mo!
The best advert the Tories could run would be a poster campaign where ever month they show how much the jocks have increased he debt by, or perhaps do one of those running totals like the one for the US national debt. Also on the TV adverts the Tories should make sure the national debt counter is shown spinning away merrily with loads of images of the jock squandering our money on crap like free laptops for chavs.
Definitely, definitely, definitely need a debt counter. Lots of them in public places. Trafalgar Square. Oxford Circus. Picadilly Circus.
Laser displays at night.
Figures like 6,000 quid of extra debt per second.
Figures like twenty pound of extra debt per taxpayer per day. Or – more alarmingly – 7000 of extra debt (after tax debt) per taxpayer per year.
This attack poster will work against Labour by making Cameron’s face more familiar and ubiquitous.

True, but it might remind the useful idiots to pay their subs to the parteh.

Labour can’t afford to do that, they’re borassic.
I tried airbrushing Gordon and he still looks shit. OMG, OMG, the suites from Poundstretchers have got to go! What about a little wave in the hair?
Labour is to fight the next general election on a five-point promise to boost public services and cut Britain’s debt in an attempt to reproduce the success of Labour’s 1997 pledge card.

Sadly, the Tories are performing as though they are starring in a Monty Python sketch.
Labour voters have already ditched Brown. They know, along with the WV intelligensia, that if Labour win, Brown is toast.
If the Tories pin their hopes on “Cameron is not Brown”, even if they get a majority, they will suffer a vote of no confidence in 2011 when we are all up to our nostrils in shit.
And they wil lose it by a landslide and Conservatism will be history, the Tories unelectable for another 20 years.

Golden rule–never, never promote the competitor’s product. GM found that out in the ’60s when they tried to slam the VW Beetle Most people don’t read the body copy on a poster–they look at the image– the old ‘Blair Eyes’ worked. This one doesn’t. How mush did the twit get paid? Maybe next stop, ad manager for Bendy-Bus nostalgia tours.
What a deliberately irresponsible article this is. This is NOT a Labour campaign – anyone who knows how to use Google can find out in 10 seconds that this poster was designed by a humourist at mydavidcameron.com.
How do you have any credibility left at all? The Labour party had nothing to do with this “campaign.” Are you going to acknowledge your blatant misinformation here?
I weep for the future of this country if you scare-mongering hacks come to power.
