I watched the Conservative Party election broadcast last night. To be honest, I was shocked that they used some clever, but totally underhanded tactics to portray the leaders of the other parties in a very poor light.
Amongst punchy catchy headlines, very poor demeaning pictures were used of Both Tony Blair and Charles Kennedy of the Liberal Democrats. Here are a few images that I screen-grabbed from the video. Kenedy is passively portrayed as Hitler, by covering the eyes..and making his photo black and white, the shadow under his nose is shall we say “reminiscent”?
I saw through this technique and was so disgusted that I thought it would be worth sharing it with you. Let me know your opinion. Watch the clip for yourself and let me know what you think.
