Elliots new print, by numusic on Jun 22, 2007 20:58:16 GMT 1, It's rather obvious to me, maybe I'm being too simplistic. I think it's trying to say that toffs (which Cameron is) have an expectation that they are BORN TO RULE. Cameron is trying to appear to dum down to appeal to the lower classes, hence the graffiti. This is probably just an affectation on his part. Also presenting the image with a spray paint can is adding to the wrongness of the image.
I can see that's the intention, but... just looks like an arrogant smug tory git spraying "Born to Rule" for a laugh at our expense. Don't see how it can work if what the character is doing isn't actually out of chracter.
Needs a kid behind him in a hoody swinging a big f*cking axe.. IMO

Elliots new print, by blackasmarch on Jun 23, 2007 2:51:22 GMT 1, Im with Octopus. Its clearly ironic. Cameron has spent most of his time in office pretending to be just an ordinary guy. The Bullingdon photo suggests otherwise. The born to rule print plays on the photo referencing both Cameron's Eton/ Oxford past and his attempts to connect with the new urban (hug a hoodie) Britain. Clever, underrated and funny.

Elliots new print, by rob123rob on Jun 23, 2007 3:59:24 GMT 1, Ok. Im Canadian, though I love most things British (art & music especially). So can someone explain to me the significance of this image, of Cameron (who he is), etc.... I've never heard of him. Apologies up front.
