Anti LDC T-shirt

[portlock seagull]

I'm sick of LDC an the Liberal Demopratt party.

Borrowing from Trainspotting, I was thinking of getting a load of t-shirts printed using replacement sentences for each line from the immortal 90's poem "Choose Life". But ultimately, I'd have to know how much interest there would be, if any, from the Albion faithful. All proceeds after covering costs would go to Kerry Mayo's testimonial fund and the Seagull party. Hopefully NSC would support (eg allow use of the now legendary floodlights logo) and the words would be printed on the back of the shirt using the same style. Similar to this effort from chavscum.co.uk:

I'd warmly welcome contributions/tap the world wide wit of the NSC community to come up with replacement sentences, the best to be used on the final version. I think the first sentance should be "Choose Brighton" or "choose a field" or something similar however. And what would we call it? "NIMBYspotting"?

The original poem is as follows:
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a f***ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of f***ing fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the f*** you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing f***ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, f***ed up brats you spawned to replace yourself.

Choose your future.

Choose life.

I'm doing the London - Brighton cycle ride in a T-Shirt with Roz's poster on it ("Wanted..."). As I needed to get 10 printed (minimum order size), there will be 9 going spare. They should arrive early next week. I'll be happy to sell them at £9 each (cost to me, but all proceeds to the Seagulls Party). I'll stick a photo of one on NSC next week.

Good man!

 

[Easy 10]

Great idea. I'd prefer to focus on the NEGATIVES though.

Choose Lewes District Council. Choose De Vecchi. Choose a bunch of f***ed-up autocratic NIMBYS riding roughshod over democracy to run your town. Choose lies. Choose deceit. Choose hypocrisy. Choose selfish agendas. Choose private meetings behind closed doors to decide how much of YOUR CASH to piss down the drain in order to permanently wreck plans for a Community Stadium thats not even in your district being built. Choose a council ignoring and disregarding the democratic wishes of a two-thirds majority. Choose countless underhand stalling and delaying tactics to drag the issue through three Public Inquiries over four years, then when they don't get the decision they want, taking legal action to change it. Choose a £250,000 legal bill to be paid for from public funds. Choose further increases in your council tax to help pay for an ever-spiralling legal bill to take it to the High Court. Choose inadequate flood defences. Choose a neglected, decrepit, crumbling flint wall over a thriving local non-league football club. Choose the closure of local sports fields through lack of funding. Choose sneakily doctored, misleading propaganda photgraphs. Choose to protect a muddy field next to a major dual carriageway hemmed in by two universities and a railway line, under the pretence that the area is "outstandingly beautiful".

Choose Lewes District Council, and help MURDER Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club at all costs. Whatever the costs.





(the t-shirt might need to be XXXXXXXXXL though)

You forgot to say "Choose being a useless old (unt".
Would there be any room for that under the armpit or something?

Brilliant Easy. Just needs a mention or two of the Liberal Democrats, so people up here in London know what political party you're attacking.

Can you edit that copy down to fit on a T-shirt, Steve? You can put me down for a couple

I'd certainly buy one - specially in the run-up to the local elections next spring. Good shout on the Lib Dems thing, I'm sure that could be "spliced in" somewhere, probably amongst plenty of other stuff I've forgotten to mention.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Absolutely, wear it over and over. Nasty fuckers.

I would buy that.
Im sure you could actually fit it onto a large shirt, the font will have to be quite small but im sure you can edit some of it.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

and on the back, you should put

f*** LEWIS DISTRICT COUNCIL! in big letters and underneath in smaller letters, WE WANT FALMER!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Marvellous. Steve, you still there? Get cracking, fella

IMHO that would look great on a leaflet to be placed in every freebie local paper like the Pizza people do in The Leader.

The final wording should be or Choose The Seagulls Party. What would it cost to have it printed and put into the freebie papers?

I would be prepared to donate towards that.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

We need to do something original to get the message across. LDC are a bunch of crooks and people need to know it.

 

[B.W.]

I'll buy one...

Me too. Think the swearing would have to be toned down, but not too much otherwise it will dilute the anger.

And put me down for one of each design of t-shirt.

 

[Wardy]

I would purchase one

That's a very good idea B.G.

And splendid spleen venting Easy.

 

[dcseagull]

Good, good ideas.
I'd buy several.

 

[TSB]

I'll buy a couple....and the leaflets would be great!

Hmm.. was thinking the same thing. What's a less offensive - but just as powerful - way to say f*** OFF?
