"Make Britain Fairer"

Not the BNP's slogan, the LibDem conference slogan. Brilliant. Ed, Guido's offer to help is still good.

Hopeless, but no more hopeless than (for example) ‘built to last’ *shudder*

Sir Bentley Pauncefoot said...

Judging by the inane policies they usually adopt, "Make Britain Blonder" might seem a more accurate effort.

Copper Spoon said...

Make Britain blander more like Sir Bentley.

How vile.

I wonder what a LibDem pie would taste like.

Robin Hoodie said...

Doesn't sit well with the no-nonsense, swashbuckling approach of "Ming the Merciless."

How about "Make Britain Darker"

"Take that you bounder, I'll cut you in half with my superior, patronising vocabulary.

Harry Basset said...

It would be fairer to allow English people all the same
cancer treatments,the same share of tax spending,the same democratic processes and the same chance to export failed politicians as the Scots.

Maybe they could make Britain fairer for any recovering alcoholics in case they get hounded out of a job?

Is Boris switching teams?

soft on crime

soft on the cause of crime

would be a better slogan for the liberals

Fruning Graplecard said...

"Make Britain Fairer"?

Why should we? Life is bloody unfair and there are clever, svelt, uber-people and leisure suit losers and lots in between.

I don't want tossers ruining my little patch of exclusivity, thank you.

Kick a beggar and triple parking fines for 4x4 drivers in urban areas
yours,

The aim should be make society fair, not fairer, the use of which term by definition makes it clear that society will not be fair. Or perhaps I am taking the Lib Dems too seriously?

Peter Hitchens said...

As we are dealing with the lib dems , shouldnt the slogan be..

"make britain fairier" ?

Mr Gisoad said...

Liberal Democrats: Because Policies are for Zealots...

Steven_L said...

Face it guys life aint fair if you are a Lib Dem. You get voted into parliament in some bye-election, spend 50 hours a week drinking tea with old ladies and actually responding to letters people send you, they keep voting you in for the next 20 years because you actually give a toss about your constituents, and still you've no hope in hell of every getting a ministerial position and an inflationary pay rise.

Make rentboys fairer?

Has Ming Soup yet condemned the Govt for selling the Iranians night-vision gear yet ?

knight of cydonia said...

Make Britain Fairer - lets take money from those that earn it and give it to those who sit on their arses all day.

Voice from the South West said...

How about "Make Ming Better" - you never know, it might just work...

Odessa Calling said...

Make Britain Fairer. What with ? Knowing the Liberal Democrats more Political Correctness.

What's the Lib Dem policy on Europe ?

Unconditional Surrender.

moko said...

Compared to Kennedy`s suggestion, "I bloody love you lot,you`re my best mates you are" it`s a masterpiece.

no longer anonymous said...

Once Labour were the left-wing of the Liberal Party. Now it is the other way round. Yet they somehow manage to successfully pose as the left wing of the Tories in the South.

no longer anonymous said...

To clarify my above post, I was referring to the Lib Dems posing as left-wing Tories.

Well I suppose anything is better than "PLEASE, please, please pay attention to us (with a cherry on top)!"

bebopper said...

Agree with Robin Hoodie; Vote Labour and make Britain darker.

Dee said...

Does this mean that Ming now agree that the English should also be allowed their own Parliament, vote for their own government, be allowed the same cancer drugs as his own Scottish constituents, get the same funding as his Scottish constituents, English students won't have to pay the top up fees, English pensioners won't be forced to sell their homes, England's sick won't have to pay the most for their prescriptions, English school children can have the same amount of funding as Scottish school children have for school dinners and that Scotland's MPs will no longer vote for discriminatory policies for the English only and that Charles Kennedy will be forced to apologise for his speech saying that he and the rest of the Scots are laughing at England because Scotland has its own Parliament and England has been broken up into EU Regions and no longer exists?

When the Lib Dems say they want a fairer Britain do they even have the country called England in mind? Like hell they do.

David Chappell said...

"make britain fairier" ?

You mean back to the late 1950s (if I remember the date correctly) when the catch phrase was "There are Tories at the bottoms of our Guardsmen"?

WmByrd said...

Why are we all getting so upset about the Glib Dems? The Sendero Luminoso has more chance of getting into power, Dave or no Dave.
Mind you, I am worried about all this violence-fuelled alcoholism.

Anonymous said...

God all mighty the comments on this thread have been thick and humourless.

Anonymous said...

Humourless indeed. Especially the 'all Lib Dems are gay' comments. You'd think there had never been a Tory or Labour gay scandal. Get a grip!

Rubbish slogan though. But then most political slogans are.

I thought some of them were rather amusing actually.

I particularly liked Mr Gisoad's "Because policies are for zealots" and "Make Britain Fairier" raised a wry smile.

Too subtle for you, perhaps?

allan said...

Its sweet how you say ‘anonymong’ because Guido does – like you’re in a special club with him.

three olive martini said...

Perhaps.

But its also appeals to me as a nicer sounding word than "anonymous".

The repeated assonance on the "on" is more pleasant than the traditional "on" "ou", wouldn't you say?

Mikey said...

'Make Britain Fairer' reminds me of a scene repeated in nursery playgrounds all over the country - "No, go on, let him play with the tractor now, you've been playing with it all day, it's only fair."

They might at least have been honest and written 'We Haven't Had A Chance To Run The Country For Bloody Decades. Come On, You Guys, Vote For Us. It's Only Fair'.

Anonymous said...

Surely Anonyming would be more appropriate here?

Yeah, that'd fall into the "if it's not funny and it's not funny - why say it" category.

Penfold said...

Since when has life been fair.
Is it fair that we have Lib-Dem politicoes on inflated salaries and expenses. Is it fair that we have to listen to their whinging and hand-wringing protestations that they will do better if in power.
Methinks that anyone who is not fair should launch a discrimination law-suit against the tossers.
Where's the Advertising Standards Authority when you really need them.

charlieboy said...

Er, which particular lib dem politicos are on inflated salaries and expenses?

If you're talking about Lib Dem staff, you're talking out of your big fat arse. While lots of Tories have nice big bank balances from daddy to pay their researchers, and Labour have the party to top them up, Lib Dem researchers routinely get bugger all.

If you're talking about MPs, then I think we all know that it ain't the yellows who've got their noses deepest in the public trough...

Graham E said...

Nulab could adopt something similar to reflect their 'achievements'. Something along the lines of We've Made Britain Queerer or We've Made Britain Dearer. Perhaps one to reflect their immigration policy, We've Made Britain Nearer'

Manfarang said...

Make anglais nice!

Since when was life ever fair?

Baffled and Bemused said...

So the Tory slogan should let's get an unfair britain!!! Bet that's a real vote winner.

They would be better to use a tree as an emblem with Lib Dem fuzzily printed below to show their unfocussed policies and lack of clarity.

Stones an glass houses spring to mind.

"making Britain a fantasy land where nothing bad ever happens and all the bad people get a telling off and disappear off somewhere undisclosed without harboring any bad feelings of resentment towards the governors of this new fair, but not airan,land"

Ok, so its going to cost a fair bit to get it made into a sign, but I think it gets the point across in a true libdib style!

Roger Thornhill said...

"Fairer" sounds like it came from one of those yoghurt ads, or was that "fairerer"?

I want to "Make Britain Rational"!

"Firm but fair" would be better, but would certainly cause the Finbarr Saunders to come out the woodwork (fnk fnk).

strapworld said...

Make Britain Pay.

Would be a more truthful
slogan.

Manfarang said...

Make Britain Pay(for its war crimes?)
