Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 09 January 2010

Monday

What a way to start The Year For Change! Am quite overwhelmed by the response to my slogan. Dave’s Big Face may be the most successful political poster campaign of all time. And to think how it started. With me walking into Nigel’s office in tears, practically hysterical. Little did I know when I wailed ‘We can’t go on like this!’ while blowing my nose into my cardy sleeve that my words would be up in lights. Of course we left off the rest of the sentence. ‘We’ll have to come up with some detail for the manifesto soon or everyone will work out that Mr Letwin hasn’t even finished the introduction yet and I’m afraid I’m going to say the wrong thing any second now, in fact it’s a miracle I haven’t put my foot in it already!’ is a bit long for a slogan. Besides it might give the wrong impression.
