New Tory posters want it both ways
"Let's love bomb the NHS while we bring back the birch."
By Jon Bernstein Published 25 April 2010 10:18After last week's dramatic swerve to the right, this weekend's Tory poster launch looks more like an attempt to straddle two audiences - the base and disaffected Labour voters.
So for the base we have:
- "Let's Restore Discipline In Schools"
- "Let's Have National Citizen Service For 16 Year-Olds"
Dog whistle, anyone? Meanwhile, the more care-sharing Tory party gives us:
- "Let's Scrap ID Cards"
- "Let's Fund New NHS Cancer Drugs"

Each features David Cameron, sleeves rolled up - the same picture and the same layout as last Tuesday's effort.
