I heard about this for the first time only last night on the TV program ''It was OK in the 60 s'' but did not believe it was true.
But a bit of Googling found it was true and was a phase used by the Conservative candidate in the 1964 Smethwick election. The Conservatives won the seat with a 7.5% swing from Labour.

Mikey, //Eddie raised this issue//

Eddie’s point in raising this issue was to demonstrate that we have ‘moved on’ considerably. Since you say that racism is on the increase you clearly disagree with that. Why?

"you are not a true cockney if you were not born within the sound of Bow Bells.
True cockneys are diminishing because they are getting pushed out by Muslims " - no retro, the new cockneys are the Muslims, if they were born there.

interesting though it worked, votes swang from Labour to Tories and they lost the seat so clearly the electorate in that seat took the message on board.
