Exclusive: David Cameron’s Lib Dem teasing jokes
Posted on October 10, 2011Guido has reported the best joke so far of the Conservative Party conference, which he overheard in one of the conference bars:
The Liberals used to shoot your dog, now they steal your cat
It’s a good gag, but the teller of it was pulling a fast one by passing it off as their own – in fact, I can reveal the joke was originally told by none other than David Cameron himself at a closed meeting of the Party Convention yesterday morning.
That puts it in a whole new setting – we saw Tim Farron and others pleasing the Lib Dem activists a fortnight ago by ranting and railing against evil Conservatives, and there’s been some speculation about whether senior Tories would use the same tactic to keep their own ranks happy. We haven’t seen it on the stage yet, but behind the scenes there’s a fair bit of work being done to reassure people that the Coalition is not an unblemished love-in.
