| This china jug is manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent by Bairstow Manor Pottery. It is an 8.5 inches high, handpainted, limited edition, work of art.
The central figure is, of course, the great robber himself, - Gordon Brown, complete with lugubrious countenance and that strange drop-jaw mannerism of his. Brown is very good at spending other peoples' money. At his feet is a War Chest stuffed full of twenty pound notes sourced from your pension fund, and over his shoulder is a bag of swag marked 'NHS' which has a huge leaking hole in the bottom. His red Budget case reads 'Stand & Deliver', and the handle of the jug is a superb highwayman's pistol.
This is a fantastic piece of political art. Brown's spending spree is already coming unstuck, and the resonance of this limited edition piece becomes ever stronger. |
