A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the footpath 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 black cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a grinning slick looking man. "Hi there little girl, I'm Prime Minister David Cameron. What do you have in that basket?" he asked. "Kittens," little Suzy said. "How old are they?" asked Cameron. Suzy replied, "They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet." "And what kind of kittens are they?" "Tory supporters," answered Suzy with a smile. Cameron was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens. Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two of them agreed that the Prime Minister 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 standing on the footpath with her basket of "FREE KITTENS," when another motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky News. Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Cameron 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, the Prime Minister stammered, "But...but...yesterday, you told me they were Tory SUPPORTERS." Little Suzy smiled and said, "I know. But today, they have their eyes open."
