"Not My PM" T-shirts selling like hotcakes
8:00am Monday 17th May 2010
While most of the voters in Kingston and Surbiton went for either a Conservative or Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate, not everyone was happy about the coalition.
Banquet Records in Kingston launched a limited edition £8 Not My PM T-shirt to protest against David Cameron’s ascension.
It is also selling a 7in record called Hangin.
Manager John Tolley said: “Regardless of personal opinion, this is what all our punters are saying.
"I’m no politician but everyone I know seems to be really put out by this. They didn’t vote for David Cameron to be Prime Minister.”
He has sold 60 so far, many to 15-year-olds not old enough to vote.
At the election, 49,296 of the 80,000 voted for either Edward Davey or Helen Whately but few could have expected a coalition of the sort outlined this week.
