What in the name of all that's Holy has persuaded them to use this marketing rubbish? When I saw them sat behind Shapps all wearing the same t-shirt like some crash-test dummies I thought I was seeing things.

What is our fascination with Team (insert brand here).

All fur coat and no knickers if you ask me.

I had to check their website to check I wasn't seeing things.

    Yes modelled by Charlotte and Florence as well.

    Jolly hockey sticks - I am just off out to Peter Jones in Sloane square for some retail therapy.:D:D

    They would go down well in Jaywick I'm sure.

    Here you are

    "Why politics is divorced from reality in one picture"

    Do they really think anyone is going to be taken in by this pathetic drivel.

    I wonder if there will be another "defection"? About an hour before Cameron's big speech should do the trick:D

    If people are so easily upset by such trivia I do wonder what they are doing with a vote in the first place :confused:

    I am not upset.

    I am a mixture of amused and bemused at whoever passed this suggestion as a good idea. It really is naff and classless.

    Haha!

    Gives a whole new meaning to "We are all in this together".

    I have to say, the Conservative Yoof don't look very happy sitting there.

    Do you think that wearing one of these might make you a target for all these terrorists that are allegedly running about?

    Why is there a ring of steel around the Tory Conference place?

    Makes them look like brainwashed sheep with no choice - what's the 'shape' of the Union Flag on the t-shirts? Looks like a pig eating? :confused:

    Who's upset, its just extremely funny, and mind blowing that anybody thought this would look positive and in any way a good idea whatsoever.

    Politicians at Westminster, really, more and more of a joke every day :D

    The Tories, on the back of Miliband's faux pas, and the fact they need to start off with a good way after the last couple of days, come up with this. Brilliant in its naivety.

    Well as you have now replied twice to the same post of mine it seems you are desperate for a reply for some reason

    No I don't see anything wrong with the t-shirts

    No I would not wear one (a logoised t-shirt) for any political party

    Yes if you look back at other party conferences you will see similar stunts by other parties. Its no big deal, unless of course you are bored and want to make something out of nothing

    None of them are smiling or looking like they have positive body language. Maybe they had to pay for the T shirts, or think the photo could haunt them in future.
