Let them eat cake.This is the provocative poster attacking Peter Mandelson which the Conservatives were poised to launch – until they lost their nerve.
A French-owned advertising firm hired by the Party seized on last week’s comments by the Business Secretary, in which he suggested that Britons who were protesting about foreign workers should go abroad to look for employment.
He is portrayed as the French Queen Marie Antoinette, and wears an ostrich-feather cap and fingers a rose as he says airily: ‘Let them eat cake...and look for a job in Belgium.’ The caption also refers to him as ‘Mandy Antoinette’.
