    Will the Saatchi brothers' poster campaign turn things around for Cameron?

    With the Conservatives looking like they are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at the imminent election, will the appointment of M&C Saatchi to produce some negative campaigning have the desired effect? Or will these be a turn off like the Tony Blair Demon Eyes posters of 1997?

    Story and examples in the Daily Mail, sorry.

      G.O.T is on the case.

      It's sort of NSFW. If you local interweb trolls are nazi's then don't otherwise you should be OK.

      The 'downfall' vid is good too.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Saatchis "Labour isn't working" poster prior to the 79 election (ironically saying that Labour had let unemployment get too high) seemed to help a bit.

          Me too.

          "I took billions from your pensions. Vote for me."

          Actually, they might work.

            Very true. I suppose it just depends on how negative campaigning is done.

              The Poster of GB is quite an honest apraisal of the man. I hope many UK Voters will remember the period where-upon the Labour Government dragged us into illegal wars, terrorised its own people with ID cards and stealth Taxes and yes, he has plundered the Pensions of every working man and women in this land. The very people that keep the country going. I will not, for the remainder of my life, EVER vote for Labour.

              Of course, the "Labour isn't working" poster when unemployment was around one million was followed by Mrs Thatcher and unemployment of THREE million.
              Even though I have no love for Labour, I guess that the new Saatchi posters will be about as accurate and fair as those from the 1970s!
              But, it is the Mail.
              If you have to add a , it isn't funny. HTH. LOL.

                    Agreed and you win today's predictable post award, but the question was whether they might be counter productive - what do you reckon?
