Known mainly for his/her excellent spoof posters, Beau Bo D'Or has today posted this fantastic satirical video, in which Conservative front benchers plead with their deputy chairman: "Oh, Lord Ashcroft, won't you buy us all a Mercedes Benz? We got you a peerage and we've already saved you a fortune in tax"!

Yes, any financial interests or conflicts on the subject of Ashcroft should be duly declared. So...
For far too many fundamentally moral and political reasons to go into here I withdrew all co-operation with Guido ages ago.
Paul Staines and Harry Cole now seem to be having some schoolboy fun implying I recently collaborated with them when all they did was use part of a video I made without my permission. Not much I can do about that unfortunately but it did spur me on to create the video above.
I assume the comment from Dazed & Confused is another schoolboy prank.
Thanks for the further encouragement.

I bent my mediocre mind to some lyrics to the same song only last night....
Unite wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz
my friend has two Jaguars I must make amends
You'll get loads for your money
You can buy all your friends
Oh Unite wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz
Unite, won't you buy me a constituency
My pals all hold office, I think its for me
A seat of green leather
A whip over me..eee
Oh Unite wont you buy me a constituency
Unite will you donate to my pa-a-arty
We aint got no clowns and balloons aint for me
We need all your millions
You'll get it back you'll see-ee
Oh Unite will you donate to my pa-a-arty

Yes, I can imagine you in your Janis Joplin wig backed by Big Brother and the Holding Company (how appropriate).
Check this out, however
It shows that the Left know how to make a point in a humorous way. As Clifford Singer says in John Harris article "But maybe there's a simpler explanation: that Tories can't really do humour."
If you look carefully, you'll see that the video itself was made by Beau Bo Dor, one of Guido Fawkes friends, who was simply mocking his own. So if the "Tories can't really do humour.", your statement of: "Hilarious! And very cleverly done too.", makes you look something of a plum as far as I can ascertain.
Ho Hum....
Maybe I should not have suggested that Beau Bo D'Or was "left", perhaps "progressive" would have been better?
No....the Tories really can't do humour.....well apart from giving George Osborne the Shadow Chancellors job.
