Labour's Barbie Bus

[Gromit]

Labour plan to tour 70 Key constituencies before the election in a bright pink Wimmin Wagon. They plan to engage with women, find out what they want and presumably promise Labour will give them what they want.

It seems a rather empty gesture. Do you think it is a good plan?

Pink vans are SO classy, aren't they!

More of a 'Mystery Machine'...

All rather naff in my opinion,could dissuade even more female voters who might have their own colourful views....

[Jackdaw33]

Apart from gender stereotyping, which Labour is supposed to be all against, the colour pink has different connotations these days.

Promises are worthless

Isn't it a bit late for them to be asking? Shouldn't thay have done this about 6 months to a year ago to enable them to have vote winning policies, with wimmin appeal, in place. If that's a sign of Labour's strategy then they're deader than a Dodo.

Comes across as a bit patronising imo.

[Baldric]

And while we're at it, where's the Bloke coloured Bus to keep us happy?

[Baldric]

Not that Labour have a hope in hell of achieving that ^^^ in my case!

[Jackdaw33]

If it's a pink bus, will Mandelson be driving?

[agchristie]

This is how to target women!

Harriet Harperson has commented "We then looked at a darker red, but that looked too much like a Pret delivery van"
Well, love, I don't think we have them North of Miton Keynes so......

[Gromit]

Couldn't figure out how this was going to attract women, then I found a picture of the bus from another angle.

Ooof. You're braver than Mr Millipede.

[askyourgran]

What a waste of time. I know what I would like but I don't want Ed M Or Ed B anywhere near me, not to mention Harriden Harmen.

[agchristie]

May 7th could just be a 'Dooms Day' for Millipede and he could fill the book with his failures.

[Zacs-Master]

I think he's on the second volume by know, isn't he?

[Zacs-Master]

Now. Tut.

[agchristie]

A whole series of Encyclomillipedia Britannica Zacs!

[Zacs-Master]

Very clever.
