Milk

A quick tribute to the PR team behind one of the most well-stocked celebrity campaigns around: the Milk Marketing Forum’s ‘Make Mine Milk’, seen on buses and billboards all over the place, and staring, Gordon Ramsey, Pixie Lott, Usher and teh cast of the A-team. Not a bad line-up, even more so considering they all look pretty stupid.

So Usher has a new album, ‘the A-team’ are back in cinemas and Gordon Ramsey… Anyway, they have their reasons for exposure, and it is indeed highly exposed, so well done to whichever advertising and PR team picked this one up - but there must be some serious money behind it too.

I’m not one to regualrly sympathise with the Tax Payers’ Alliance, and I supopse i think I quite like the ads, but maybe the EU’s money could be better diverted?

Political Lookalikes: Vince Cable

The next in our lookalike series is Vince Cable, Lib Dem MP for Twickenham and Business Secretary.  Here you can see his long lost twin, Friar Tuck, from Robin Hood (the 1973 cartoon version).

It’s all in the eyebrows and hair.

Political Lookalikes: Rory Stewart

I watched the film Bright Star recently, an account of the poet Keats’ romance with a young woman who is a somewhat dubious fashionista.  The whole way through I was slightly preoccupied with examining the actor playing Keats, Ben Whishaw.  What made him so distracting was the resemblance between him and my top political crush, Rory Stewart.  With these political lookalike blog posts, I get to trawl through photos of MPs and in this case, I was all too happy to google photos of Rory Stewart for a whole evening (and next morning).  It took a while to narrow it down as there were just too many photos of Mr Stewart that needed publishing but I finally managed to pick the one below as I felt it showed the resemblance best.

The photo below is just for me and everyone else out there crushing on Rory Stewart.  HOT.

Political Lookalikes: Bill Rammell

After noticing that several politicians had lookalikes, we have decided that a whole series of blog posts are needed on this topic as one post was just not enough! 

The first politician to be reunited with his twin below is Bill Rammell who used to be the Labour MP for Harlow.

Bill Rammell and Dara O’Briain.

Please email in or comment if you want to show us any political lookalikes that you’ve found!
