FUNNY BILLBOARDS

Funny billboards that Labour are putting up...


Has anyone noticed that Labour's billboards are
- black, therefore hard to spray paint
- don't use much text - therefore hard to alter - just pictures of the opposition which it's in their interests that you deface
- and are generally in hard to reach, out of the way places?

The Tory ones, on the other hand, are so easy to subvertise (not that what's been done isn't brilliant & much needed cheer) that it's almost as if Labour put them up itself.

Has anyone succeeded in doing a Labour one?
Are we in danger of doing the ruling party's work for them?
Is there any way we can subvertise Tory ones & still get at Labour?

Good Example

There's a decent one near Pilks in St Helens.

It's a tory one saying 'I mean, how difficult is it to keep hospitals clean' or something to that effect. It's subvertised (just spray painted) underneath 'Easy - don't outsource NHS work, don't privatise the NHS' and after 'are you thinking what i'm thinking' it (quite cramptly) says 'don't vote labour, dont vote' then it says conservative on the ad.

Being noticed

Over the last couple of days there have been several letters send in & published in the Independent commenting on subvertised Tory posters.

yesterdays letter went something like this:

"Sir:The Conservatives Party poster campaign seems no more popular in north London than it is in Longsight (letter, 23 March). The poster in Bounds green reads "It's not racist to impose controls on immigration" which has been amended with a large "Tories are racist". In nearby Crouch End, the poster that reads "I mean, how hard is it to keep a hospital clean?" has had "You should know, you privatised it" added underneath.
The ending question on this poster campaign is "Are you thinking what we're thinking?", to which I find myself mentally answering "No", every time I see it.
