Desparate to come up with popular policies that won’t cost them any money, and importantly ones that have not already been suggested by Labour or the Lib-Dems, Tories have come up with transparent crisp packets. Having realised that lots of people eat crisps they think that this will be a winner.
Knowing that they are not going to do well focusing on economic competence, tackling crime, national infrastructure, health, education, international trade, transport, justice and practically every thing else, the Tories are desperately looking for things that they can focus on that might be popular.
A minister announced this with the statement, “Have you ever brought a packet of crisps which has obviously been blown up a bit to make it seem full only to open it to find five crisps and some crumbs?”. He went on to explain that transparent crisp packets will add … err …. transparency to crisp buying.
“Consumers will never again get to do the sad face of disappointment when they open their crisps. They will know when they buy them how many crisps are inside”. He hailed this as a major boost for the consumer that won’t cost the government anything.
He also suggested that Walkers will probably have to spend loads of money getting new packets which will mean less money for Gary Lineker who the Tories hate. Double win.
