OK. Smith's team either can't be arsed or are completely clueless.
At the beginning every appearance seemed to have him flanked by bored teenagers resentfully holding placards with his name and/or was staged to look as unimpressive as possible. Any campaign manager worth their salt wouldn't allow such pathetic scenes to take place in front of a camera, not once, let alone repeatedly for the start of the campaign.
Now someone's lent him a battlebus. They've stuck his picture on the back. He is not the largest figure in the image, a seam runs right through his face (accentuating a likeness he has to a resident of Royston Vasey), the next most prominent figure is giving him an odd look, there are two figures with their heads disconcertingly bisected and there is a disembodied hand giving him a wank. It's embarrassingly badly executed.
Are they trying to make him look bad?
