Well this is a pleasant surprise. After all the years of indifference, David Cameron has condescended to notice us. Not just notice us but want us too. His come-hither smiles and fluttering eyelashes are enough to bring a blush to the cheek.
Faced with losing yet another by-election, the Prime Minister is telling Labour and Liberal Democrat voters that they (we) should vote Conservative to stop Ukip in Rochester and – presumably – in every seat in Britain where Ukip is a contender come May.
OK, I can hear my friends and comrades asking: what’s the deal? What do we get in return for calming our heaving stomachs and handing Cameron our support?
Perhaps he will offer us an end to his class war from above. He might regret cutting taxes for the richest earners on £150k plus or saying that the best way he could imagine to make Britain a better place is to raise the inheritance tax threshold to £1,000,000.
