Labour's Barbie Bus

[Gromit]

Labour plan to tour 70 Key constituencies before the election in a bright pink Wimmin Wagon. They plan to engage with women, find out what they want and presumably promise Labour will give them what they want.

It seems a rather empty gesture. Do you think it is a good plan?

Very topical, AG

It does look a bit silly doesn't it.

[Svejk]

Would have been sexist if it was a UKIP van.

Pret deliver? This is soooo patronising. They won't get my vote with the pink bus.

I found some footage of it in action on the campaign trail...

Could it be that Sheilah's Wheels are sponsoring Labour on their doomed campaign trail and this is a Labour plug to reward them?

Pink vans, Pink horse boxes, Pink range rovers etc, I thought were the trademark of Katie Price. She lives quite near me and I sometimes see her in one of her many Barbie pink transport confections.

Where are they going to find 1000s of good looking men with fat wallets?

[anotheoldgit]

All motor vehicle driven by women should be coloured pink..... joking :0)

First I thought this was patronising but actually it’s just plain funny. I’ve concluded that Labour is floundering around not knowing what to come up with next.

[Svejk]

I knew that in 1998.

"Do you think it is a good plan?" yes, for the Tories! Way to go E! you just alienated female voters with this rather patronising stunt!

[youngmafbog]

I actually think it is good Labour are trying to inspire voters.

As for pink, maybe some of you old timers should get real, amongst the young pink n 'in' color.

An apt colour for a party with a number of Pinkos.

It is not pink.

[ludwig]

It's cerise, it's fuschia, it's magenta, it's rose - anything but the P word.

[dannyk13]

Definitely more pink than magenta(violet-red)
