Anyone who follows politics even a little must remember the fiasco of David Cameron’s speeches to ‘packed’ crowds of enthusiastic Tories gathered to hear his words of ‘wisdom’. Except, as a less flattering camera angle revealed, the listeners were no more a crowd than Cameron’s words were wise:
Thanks to the excellent @rachael_swindon, the SKWAWKBOX can reveal that Theresa May is even less successful as a crowd-puller than her predecessor:
Mrs May spoke to the Tories’ Scottish conference this week and, in spite of the Conservatives’ supposed resurgence in Scotland and the presentation of the conference by the Tory-owned media as if May was queen of all she surveyed, this candid picture of the audience reveals a very different truth:
Maybe not quite as rare as rocking-horse turds, but they’re definitely sparse and, well, they also don’t exactly look… vibrant? If it was a bus-load of pensioners whose driver took a wrong turn, they should definitely be demanding compensation.

Their only problem and one that is voiced time and time again is ” What can we do, how can we change the system ? It’s always been like this”
My biggest worry now is that the voting system and way our ” democracy ” is elected to power is not now open and democratic.
That’ll keep me laughing for a week!
