To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 117 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

This reminds me, as it doubtless will have reminded you (!), of the wise words of Hosea 8:7:
“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind”
As if every politician’s portrait isn’t ‘improved’ to a greater or lesser degree. So, when Gordon Brown’s face miserable, scowling face (or, as is even more terrifying, he could be smiling) is plastered all over election posters, and is subjected to the same sort of freelance treatment as this, I wonder how many Labour supporters will be priggishly bleating that it’s somehow unfair, disrespectful, childish, misleading or debasing the nobility of political debate.

Well I suppose if your own policies are universally despised, you have to attack the opposition somehow. LOL
I see Labour have actually “sexed up” Daves photo for their own purposes – as reported on Guido’s blog.
You guys really are getting desperate aren’t you. :o) Great!

“Don’t be fooled by the rocks that he’s got. He’s still Dave from the block”.
Can someone explain what that is supposed to mean? Isn’t he actually Dave from the posh hoise!

I’m still trying to work out why a touched up picture for a poster which is, after all, blown up to a huge size is all Brown can attack!!? It’s fairly standard practice for these type of images.
There are plenty of things you could attack…but a poster?? I’m embarrassed for you!

Depressed, but not surprised, to see Tory trolls out as usual. I hoped a blog like this would be relatively spared but I guess you guys are drawn in like flies.
Really, it’s an embarrassing poster by anyone’s standard and I reserve the right to laugh. He’s been touched up to a point where he’s practically inhuman (even without Labours help, just look at the original…) with a nauseating message that just weeps with forced sincerity.
It’s a poor attempt to ape Labour’s 1997 campaign posters of Blair looking serious with the slogan ‘enough is enough.’ If this is any indication of Cameron’s campaign plan, there might be hope yet.
P.S. Albert, you might want to check the ‘Not Flash, just Gordon’ effort Saatchi and Saatchi came up with while Gordon was still popular; I think Labour are aware that Gordon’s smile is not his greatest asset.
