Description: Colin Craig, the leader of the Conservative Party is shown asking if he should not "whip up the whole bloody anti-smacking debate ahead of the election?" His supporters agree: "Yeah, nah, whatever helps your ratings", "Not off the top of my head", "I'll vote for anyone who sticks up for thuggery", "A good smack around never does anyone harm" and "Sorry - my brain's not working". Accompanying note from cartoonist states 'Despite the 2009 referendum on smacking showing that 87 per cent of signatories did NOT think smacking should be a criminal offence, the law changed anyway to make it criminal. Colin Craig's pro-smacking comments may be sad for our society, but he has picked the right issue in terms of bumping up his ratings ahead of this year's election.
