It is catching isn't it? :-)
The country's in a mess, and it's all the fault of nasty Labour and Conservatives.
We're different er um, yes, we're really different um er, that's us different.
(Punter - "You don't sound very different").
We're going to cut taxes, yes, lots of tax cuts - so you can all go out spending lots of money.
(Punter - "Isn't going out and spending lots of money what got us in this mess in the first place?").
But we're against cuts in VAT.
(Punter - "But I thought you just said tax cuts were a good thing").
We're going to spend lots of money on better schools, better health services, better transport, er um
(Punter - "They all say that")
We're different, yes, we're oh so different.
(Punter - "You said that already")
We're going to spend more and more, extra spending for deprived children, smaller class sizes
(Punter - "How are you going to pay for all that, given you've just told us you're going to make big tax cuts?")
We're in a time of crisis
(Punter - "Yes, we know that, but you don't sound as if you understand how we got into this mess")
We're really really different, oh yes
(Punter - "Saying it doesn't make you different, just what the heck makes you really different?")
Imagine ...
(Punter - "Oh don't come all John Lennon on me, I want to hear something practical")
We're really, different, oh yes.
(Punter - "oh yes").
