Quite. If they wont get worked up over the NHS, fuel prices, global warming etc then they are not going to be fired up by a few yards of sacking with pretty pictures on.

Now, if it got tied into a debate on immigration! That might be a different story.

"Remember 1066! All them forin gits come over ere, raped ya wimin, nicked all the best gafs, med the kids all lern abaht sum forin religun. Put up signs we cudn't read. Used terror tactics if we tried to fight em. Then all the taxes went up to pay fer it!"

I can think of one party that could really go to town with the Bayo Tap
