I do find it remarkable how people are taking on the Tories online.
Back in the old days, Labour would hire an ad agency to devise a poster campaign which would cost us an absolute fortune and you'd question the results.
Now Cameron's Tory posters (funded by Cashcroft's millions) are getting demolished by members of the public coming up with humorous rebuttlals.
First there were the airbrush spoofs of THAT Cameron poster.

Then came the Tory Tombstones resonse to their crass Death Tax ad.

Now they've gifted us the I've Never Voted Tory campaign. Within minutes, people gave their own responses on Twitter.
@sajeraj: #ivenevervotedtory because at present or at some point in the past they have opposed virtually everything I value.
@estellehart: #ivenevervotedTory what with having a soul and all.
@AveryPS: #ivenevervotedTory because I'd quite like a public sector job, thanks.
@novocastrianrob: #ivenevervotedtory because we're worth it
@BillyMcCauley: #ivenevervotedtory Because I understand a decimal point.
It then went onto become the most talked about topic on Twitter in the UK and fourth in the world.
Then the posters started. I particularly liked this one.

Makes you think that we really should let the ad agencies go and let our supporters design the posters and promote them themseslves.
I think this election will actually be the first where it won't be paid advertising that helps to get our message across and secure a victory. It'll be down to people opening up their own social networks, passing on homemade ads and videos as well as giving their own personal endorsements.
I'll leave you with a video - feel free to pass it on. Made me chuckle.
It's not nasty, just funny with a political point - not a decimal one!
