The Conservative Party’s new campaign poster had one rather unfortunate problem

LONDON — The Conservative Party’s official election campaign launch was somewhat spoiled this week after journalists noticed a rather unfortunate problem with the party’s new poster.

The poster, which was launched at an event in London on Wednesday, was aimed at convincing voters that Labour would hit them with a “tax bombshell” if they win the upcoming general election.

However, when Brexit Secretary David Davis stood in front of the poster, it was possible to frame pictures of it in a rather unflattering way.

Here’s the original poster:

The incident was eerily reminiscent of a scene from the BBC political satire “The Thick of It” in which fictional minister Nicola Murray stands in front of a poster which, when cropped, reads “I am bent.”

The press conference was also somehow infiltrated by one Labour activist who handed out a briefing to journalists attempting to rebut the central claim of the poster.

Meanwhile, the press conference itself was dominated by questions about Brexit leaks coming out of the EU, suggesting that both Davis and May should be sidelined in negotiations.

All in all the whole event didn’t really go to plan.
