Ken Says Tories Out of this World

Only a month ago Ken said he wanted to drop negative campaigning:

I suggest to Boris Johnson therefore that he and I work together to raise the tone and spirit of this election. Let us talk about what really matters to each and every Londoner, and end the X-Factor slug-fest.

We want to concentrate vigorously on those issues that can make Londoners better off over the next month of this campaign.

As you can see Ken’s campaign today paints Boris as an alien blue slug. Not exactly a positive focus on the issues…

    Actually the Andorians ended up as founder members of the Federation. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to choose an unfriendly alien race?

    As ever Labour knows nothing about Star Trek.

            Is this some sort of racism against blue people?

            Ken is really useless at this negative campaigning malarkey.

        No one in their right mind would vote for Red Ken. However, the Tories lost the plot the moment they capitulated in forming a Coalition. People should have sen CaMoron’s poor negotiating skills and his desire to move the Tory party to the left using the Lie Dumbs as the excuse.

        Vote UKIP and change politics.

    Confirmation you can’t believe a word Ken says.

    It’s rather good publicity for the Blueman theatre group.

    Hopefully Ken is red-faced on 7 May!

      Pundit Too says:

      Desperate times mean desperate actions as far as Ken is concerned.
      This could backfire on him as it will be seen a both a weakness in him, and that he will do anything to avoid his frequent gaffes (this is another one) and his tax issues.

      That may well be true. but regardless of the political colour I will ensure they do as they are told whilst maintaining the pretence the ‘leader’ (lol!!) is in charge.

      Meanwhile, the plans are well underway for me to be able to build my new, local ‘super-Kremlim’ on land that should really be used as allotment space.

      And yet I can still maintain the pretence that this godawful little ‘city’ is ‘home of Environment Capital’!

      Nice!

      Old Tory says:

      Right now, the countries debt is growing violently. The Government forecasts it will soar to an eye-watering £1.1 trillion by 2011. To put that in perspective, the UK went bust in 1976 running a budget deficit of 6% of GDP. In 2010 that deficit is going to top 11%.

      And we get pictures of blue slugs… makes you wanna weep.

    With beeb, guardian and labour shouting “Murdoch” and a taxing budget it will be slam dunk for Ken!

    London first, then the country, certainly if postal voring rules are not changed!

    We are labour and we love postal voting!

    Oops, went OTT on exlamationmarks, but so exicted how election procedures and stumbling government will help London have a labour mayor again!

      Sick of Ken says:

      You’re obviously thinking of a habitable planet, whereas we’d all like Ken to visit one slightly more hostile. Mercury, perhaps:

      “With almost no atmosphere, the planet’s equatorial surface bakes at a sizzling 450 °C near noon, but cools to below -170 °C late at night.”

      Or we could just shoot him, which would be cheaper. (Or we could make him walk around Tower Hamlets this Friday afternoon with a sandwichboard that says “eat ham”).

    Sir William Waad says:

    Completely off-topic, but reading that the police had discovered more than 7,000 cannabis growers in the UK last year led me to wonder what they might have achieved by devoting the same resources to catching criminals. The police also estimated that the value of cannabis they seized was over £100 million. The value of what they did not discover must have been several times that. This is a substantial and successful industry, creating jobs and reducing imports. It’s high time it received an award.

    In view of the state of the economy, may I suggest that ex-Prime Ministers continue to get police protection WHILST IN UK. If they travel abroad, then they should pay the full cost of their (and their family’s) protection – unless they have less than £24,000 in capital (around figure old people have to pay full costs care above) and say £12000 per year income.

    Labourunionsbbc we are one says:

    Some say that the picture makes them look like blue snails. If that is what was intended then it would be that the brief was that ‘we are aiming at the stupid amoungst the libore voters the ones that have heard some stuff about newts but don’t follow it closly enough to know who it’s about’, so now will think it’s Boris.

    The thing this picture does the most is make this a labour tory PARTY issue and not about livingslime and Johnson, and who of those two would be the best at the job.

      A Doctor writes says:

      The “swelled head” syndrome is indeed a well known attribute of most politicians. It’s main causal factor has been identified as ‘hot air’ which is produced by those with the syndrome in vast quantities. The only known palliative is trepanning to relieve the immense pressure on the skull – happily, their is no need to exercise the extreme care normally required when performing the operation as the brain is usually already quite dead. There is no known cure.
