Same old Tories, always spamming.
Like everyone else, I'm the regular recipient of emails advising me that my pathetically average penis can be magically enlarged in both girth and length via pumps/pills/injections/the power of the mind/weights/specialist DVDs/Peregrine Worsthorne. It's not often however that I get spam from the Conservative party. In fact, it's the first time:
Now, I have received a few unsolicited invitations to link to videos before, from Vice magazine, but that was on a documentary they had made in North Korea, which at least had the potential to be somewhat interesting, even though I didn't link to it. I'm not on any Conservative mailing lists to be forwarded their press releases, so I was a little miffed when this floated in. One would have thought that I'm hardly going to be receptive to the Tories' propaganda, but then maybe this suggests that they're getting truly desperate. A little consultation with some fellow bloggers confirmed that they hadn't received this, so it's not a mass mail-out. Not to come over all self-pitying, but why little old me?
Still, I'm sure that Graham "Hardly" Wild will appreciate that I took the time and effort to reply to his due diligence by "spreading the debate":
Football clubs can transform young lives
Hey there,
David Cameron recently visited a school in Dudley, where Wolverhampton Wanderers are offering young people the chance to improve their football skills, while also teaching them life skills. It’s a really good example of the huge ability a football club has to use its brand and its people to transform young lives.
There is much debate on how to get children off the streets and into doing something positive for themselves and their local communities. It’s a great 2 minute video that demonstrates local private firms (such as football clubs) aiding and enabling youngsters to meet and socialise constructively.
This footage is available at (link removed) it is available for you to embed on your blog Obsolete, if you wish. The embed code is available on the video player in the bottom right symbolized ‘<>’ –
I hope you can spread the debate.
Thanks for your time.
Kind Regards,
Graham

I consider this unsolicited spam and would be grateful if you fucked right off.

'Hey there' indeed!
I watched Taxi Driver last night, so am minded of the exchange between Travis and Matthew:
"I'm hip!"
"Well, you don't look it..."

Out of pure pedantry how would you even be able to "spread the debate" or embed the footage here when the warning at the bottom informs you that "You must not disclose, distribute, copy or otherwise use this Email."?
