The guy looks scared for life to me... he's having his own "mondeo man" moment.
Young Tories are supposed to be very restrained and quaint - Perhaps waving a hand-sized union flag and sporting a rosette. Labour are the in-your-facers. Nevertheless a funny picture.
to be honest this photo has no real value, i was at the university when gordon brown came to open the building, this photo was taken at the very start of the day when other people were still getting there. labour had a very strong turn out and it was rather amusing to see that when it started raining the conservatives were the first people to run to their cars. obviously 'not much bottle'

Brilliant. Who's photo is it? Can I have permission to use it in a presentation at a public conference?

I feel sorry for the guys in the bottle gear. It must feel incredibly demeaning to wear any outfit that has Gordon Brown's face on it.

Good picture. Talking of mondeo man, met the archetypal mondeo man today and he was not best pleased with Labour to put it mildly!

It's a good photograph, but it's a shame it's not clearer who the non Labour people represent.
Sadly, as amusing as all of this it, it has no bearing on the public, who probably just think it's stupid.

No problem with permission Miranda. Thanks for checking.
