Tory U-Turn Puts Cat Amongst Pigeons
The Tories denied a cheep political stunt last night after their U-turn on council tax revaluation caught Labour and the LibDems completely off guard.
A Labour spokesperson said "This is typical opportunistic, unprincipled Tory politics. It is the politics of opportunism and not of principle. It is completely principle-less opportunity politics. Putting the cat amongst the pigeons like this is archaic, shameless and just plain cruel"
A Tory spokesman responded by saying "Pigeons are vermin, and besides they like having a cat amongst them and they feel no pain as the cat always has a good clean kill unlike a shotgun. What of the poor cats? What would they do if they were not put amongst the pigeons? And the hundreds of thousands of cat owners around the UK face ruin if Labour insist on banning us from putting the cat amongst the pigeons"

I noticed the very well-parodied Labour spokesman,who repeats the same concept in a number of different ways. Every permutation of opportunistic and unprincipled was employed, so the people on the news could choose which one they wanted to soundbite.
The Tory, on the other hand, was much more straight-talking, and as a result, probably will only get 5s, in which the nation will hear him say "The cat always has a good clean kill" and nothing else.
