Politicians are being trolled with billboards featuring their own unwise tweets
Oops: David Cameron’s tweet from May 2015 hasn’t aged well.
This is hilarious.
A poster campaign attempting to shame politicians with their own words and tweets has begun to appear on billboards around Britain.
The campaign which appears to have been started by the Twitter account Led By Donkeys has already posted two billboards around the country, featuring infamous tweets from Tory politicians.
The first which they shared on Wednesday morning featured the 2015 David Cameron tweet about voting for ‘chaos with Ed Miliband.’ The poster is reported to be in north-east London.
The second was a classic from October 2016 from former Brexit secretary David Davis where he promised that there will be “no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.” The location of this poster has not been disclosed.
Here are the tweets:
Last night we started a little project to record for posterity the prophetic words of our leaders. Here’s the first one (Manor Rd / A10 in London). Eyes peeled for more #LedByDonkeys #TweetsYouCantDelete @David_Cameron @Ed_Miliband pic.twitter.com/9ED5MUPTTn

Day two of a project to turn the predictions of our Brexit overlords into #TweetsYouCantDelete. You asked for @DavidDavisMP, we give you @DavidDavisMP. Vote in thread below for next poster – location will be a leave-voting town. (Source for DD quote: Hansard) #LedByDonkeys pic.twitter.com/5dVYMy5EKS
