Top Tories on drugs? Whatever next.
With the Tory leadership race in full swing, we felt obliged to come out of retirement.
In honour of David Cameron, we offer this roll-up-and-keep commerative banknote.
Cameron once called himself the “Coke candidate”, meaning he was “the real thing”. At least that’s what we assumed he meant.
Incidentally, we suspect the cocaine claims are an elaborate ruse to persuade the kids that Class A’s aren’t cool.

The Daily Mail peddles a despicable cocktail of hatred, bigotry and fear.
We’re delighted to learn that concerned citizens have knocked up a spoof.
It’s called – somewhat inevitably – the Hate Mail [PDF], and 30,000 copies are being distributed nationwide.
Middle England’s house paper is guilty of many crimes, not least supporting fascism in the 30s.
British fascist leader Oswald Mosley was praised beneath the headline Hurrah for the Blackshirts.
The paper’s proprietor Lord Rothermere also wrote to congratulate Hitler months before the outbreak of war with Germany.
The rag continues to offer a daily diet of spite today, with immigrants bearing the brunt.
An anonymous ex-employee sums the paper up perfectly:
“The ideal Daily Mail story leaves the reader hating somebody or something”

Fed up of the usual election news?
Channel 4’s coverage takes a surreal turn with their spoof political broadcasts.
They commissioned films for the three main parties from Lee Ford and Dan Brooks, the duo responsible for the controversial ’suicide bomber’ spoof VW Polo ad.
Ford said:
“We set about creating the kind of broadcasts the three main parties would like to make if there were no regulations and they didn’t have to be politically correct.”
See all three at Channel4.com.

UNISON has launched a spoof ad campaign based on Tory election posters.
The public service union’s version of the billboards asks:
“‘What are the Tories thinking of? – use your vote to stop them’
We couldn’t agree more. More details at the UNISON site.

Are you thinking what we’re thinking? Of course not.
Here’s another bumper crop of defaced Tory billboards.
As one visitor noted, what they lack in subtlety, they gain in enthusiasm.
