A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the pavement in front of her home. Next to her was a basket containing a number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS. Suddenly a line of big cars pulled up beside her.
Out of the lead car stepped a grinning man. “Hi there little girl, I’m the leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband. What do you have in the basket?” he asked. “Kittens,” little Suzy said. “How old are they?” asked Miliband. Suzy replied, “They’re so young, their eyes aren’t even open yet.” “And what kind of kittens are they?” “Labour supporters,” answered Suzy with a smile.
Miliband was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told about thelittle girl and the kittens.
Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two of them agreed that he should return the next day; and in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.
So the next day, Suzy was again on the pavement with her basket of “FREE KITTENS, “when Milliband’s motorcade pulled up, this tiime vans from BBC, ITV, ABC, CNN and Sky News, Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Miliband got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy.
“Hello, again,” he said, “I’d love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you’re giving away.”
“Yes sir,” Suzy said. “They’re UKIP supporters.”
Taken by surprise, Ed stammered,
“But…but…yesterday, you told me they were LABOUR SUPPORTERS.”
Little Suzy smiled and said, “I know. But today, they have their eyes open.”
