Best party conference stunt which wasn't ours - "Euro zombies attack at Conservative Party conference. Conservative Way Forward surprises everyone with a campaign against unaffordable bail-outs to the eurozone [and hence "zombie"] economies"
As you can see, all efforts to turn undead proved fruitless. But then we know from experience that free marketeers are resistant to turning.
You can also see some bees buzzing around in the background from us on the clip.
Why I like it? It was spectacular; geeky; fun; totally overshadowing anything else that was going on; it was videoed for easy dissemination; it demonstrated the power of theatre; it got an issue on the agenda for Conference delegates.
Questions: Whether it actually changed anyone's mind, and whether it was a bit too outre for your typical Conservative delegate?
Geek criticism: strictly speaking the walking dead should have been demanding brains, not shrieking.
What if this were real? David "two brains" Willetts would be a man in zombie demand. Chris "armed response" Grayling would be practicing his head-shots. The Umbrella Corporation would be sponsoring fringe events at Tory Party Conference.
But I think we can safely assume that no right-thinking, home-is-my-castle Conservative wants zombies on their lawn. The mad gardening skills of Middle England would see 'em off.
