You really have to smile….Tories, Labour and Lib Dems get millions from wealthy donors, have hundreds of salaried staff, use PR firms, advertising agencies, focus groups and pollsters to finetune carefully crafted propaganda campaigns all backed up by their palace guards in the media and the impact is….zilch…
UKIP (no big donors, minimal staff) get a former BBC dj, well past his sell by date to write, sing and record a calypso, a musical genre briefly popular circa 1955 and the whole thing goes VIRAL!!!!!!!
What’s more the lyrics spell out the main threads of UKIP policy while the chorus plops Nigel Farage directly outside No. 10 Downing Street….
The lefty smellysocks on Twitter go mental and the Telegraph and Guardian sneer at full throttle and the usual suspects cry RACIST…
Media elite annoyed – TICK
Lefty Race Card operatives head’s exploding – TICK
Massive publicity for UKIP – TICK
Boost for UKIP funds via downloads – TICK
Yup…all the right boxes ticked – Farage does it again….they’re playing Snap, he’s playing three dimensional chess.
BTW…don’t tell anyone but it’s reached number seven in the download charts…..lol…
