Johnny Washy's Old Sloshy and the Cameron Pickle progressive con
The Con Trick (as Nick Clegg named it) by Cameron and Pickles trying to position the Tories as the Progressive Party reminds me of Johnny Washy’s Old Sloshy.
Johnny Walker’s whisky company takes great care to crack down on people trying to pass of duff products as the real think with misleading labelling, and their museum of counterfeits has exhibits of many of these. By some weird process, this caught up an obscure brand of shampoo called Johnny Washy’s and so on, which apparently had an understandably brief career as an after-dinner drink trading on a misleading label design..
It is probable that potential drinkers had a swift reminder of the difference between whisky and hair treatment products.
Lets hope that the difference between Real Progressive Politics and Cameron’s Progressive Pickle will be as easily spotted so we can wash that man right out of our hair.
(hat tip to that excellent book ‘Almost Like a Whale: the Origin of Species updated ’ by Steve Jones for the Johnny Washee gem - se P 110).
