Labour shoot themselves in the foot with their new poster campaign

 

A new poster released by Labour shows David Cameron’s head on a photo of TV detective Gene Hunt from Ashes to Ashes , who is famous for his no-nonsense politically incorrect style.

 

Tories have been quick to release their version using Gene Hunt’s famous phrase, “Fire up the Quattro” referring to his cool Audi Quattro. They plan to put it onto billboards even before Labour get theirs launched.

 

As comments poured in to political websites deriding the choice of image, Mr Cameron said he was flattered by the comparison with DCI Hunt, a hard-drinking opponent of political correctness who describes criminals as "scum" and is not afraid to bend the rules to secure an arrest.

 

The Conservative leader said: "I think there will be thousands of people, millions of people, in the country who wish it was the 1980s and that police were out there feeling collars and nicking people instead of filling in forms."
