Comments on A nice piece of election art


Good aren't they? I like 30s art. Especially railway posters.

Mind you, these posters have been available for a while .http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/cpa/

Sam Tarran's had one in his sidebar for yonks: http://samtarran.blogspot.com/


Not that Iain Dale would ever arrive on anything years late and then take the credit or anything.

The poster has been around for ages, of course, but was posted by Political Betting a couple of days ago.

Iain appears to have omitted to credit them in his post.

I don't see why it wouldn't work in the US either, just make the inspectors bald, with ponytails, and be sure they're adequately diverse.

"Set the people free" is a good principle (as well as good slogan) in any election, in any country, at any time.

And yes - it is a great poster.

It actually means something in terms of principle - unlike the propaganda posters of the people of the government funded National "Endowment" for the Arts, with their "Hope" poster and so on.

All their posters mean is - "here is the God King, worship him".
