Rishi Sunak's Facebook. Occasionally you see something and you go 'I hope you kept the receipt for the focus group that came out of', and the weird use of 'surrender' as a synonym for 'freely vote for' is one of them.

Presumably as with 'Taxcheck UK' the design is a conscious choice to hark back to this poster from the 1987 election, but...why?

Sadly very many voters are idiots. They swallowed the 'household budget' line from Thatcher hook, line & sinker and they'll swallow this. Have you seen GE24 Vox Pops on TV? Ignorance on a frightening scale.

And then they say we need a "functioning Tory party" in parliament as opposition, because Reform is just like the European far right. The Tory party itself is now just like most European far-right parties, that ship has sailed. It has more in common with the French RN than with the German CDU.

I can't help wondering if, in desperation, they're trying to make 2024 versions of half-remembered, more successful campaign ads because that reminds me of this.

"I will never stop fighting for this country" is a line that is probably best not put on the facebook page of a man who half the country thinks is going to be on a plane to California before July is out.

Maybe it's an appeal to Tory voters planning to sit that one out? Not voting could be seen as "surrendering".

What's with the raised arms, is the implication that Labour is pointing a gun at these people?

God I love the photo. You know what I really want to see scrolling through social media? A scene that appears to show a family, including a small child, about to be shot in the head

Those parents/grandparents who say they vote _to help_ their kids/grandkids - whilst the kids in the middle are like "NOOOOO that's not going to help me or your grandkids at all."

In its implication of the other side's cruelty as well as stylistically it's very similar to 1979's "LABOUR ISN'T WORKING" which lest we forget was devised by a man who was happy to throttle his wife in public.

I wonder if they even considered the connotations that the phrase ‘No Surrender’ has with Ulster Loyalism.

My first impression of this image, was shock. I’m now alerted by Trumps fascism in US, Putin’s war in Ukraine, Farages immigration poster,I think people are now complacent about such images. Normalisation is incredibly dangerous And journos are saying what fun Farage is OMG😲

I think it's consistent with the rest of the campaign. He's taking no responsibility and blaming the voters for making the wrong decision.
