What on earth were the Kensington and Chelsea Tory borough branch thinking?? Truly disgusting. The Mirror are reporting on it too: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/campden-hill-conservatives-stroke-poster-5565121

The worst thing is, it looks like they designed the picture themselves as I can't see an earlier usage of it on Twitter. :( Imagine creating such a picture and not thinking "hang on, this is a bit wrong and won't look good for our party" :confused: Baffling!

    The Conservatives are absolutely disgusting. They should feel ashamed.

    There was a thread about this earlier, but sort of got superseded by the other 'sick' thread with Labour in the title. It's yeuch, isn't it. But will backfire, I suspect.

    As I said if it was UKIP the story would be everywhere. Their refusal to say who runs the account and that"it might have been hacked" is certainly a dubious enough excuse for Nigel's party!

    If it had been any other party there wouldn't have been a peep out of any of you.

    If the Lib Dems, UKIP or SNP made this poster you think people wouldn't have posted about it? :confused: I don't agree. It's vile whoever did it.

    The sick thing is that a Conservative actually designed that poster and made it thinking it would get them votes

    The picture is wrong no matter which party posted it. Trying to turn this into a tit for tat argument is just deflection. Why not be the bigger man/woman and just be honest when something is ill advised unless you feel it isn't then I apologise for presuming.

    So, to clarify, you are accusing all those who are to the left of being "sick"?
    you really are having a major panic aren't you? I can't wait to see your posts on May 8th.

    No, but when people come out with things like "Truly the nasty party" and "The Conservatives are absolutely disgusting. They should feel ashamed."

    They need reminding and a taste of their own medicine.

    Other parties do the same sort of thing, yet no one takes any notice of this. Unless its UKIP.

    Fararge raised this in his interview today.
