A pretty little girl named Sally was sitting on the pavement 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 cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a grinning man.
"Hi there little girl, I'm the leader of the Conservative Party, Boris Johnson.
What do you have in the basket?" he asked.
"Kittens," little Sally said.
"How old are they?" asked Mr Johnson.
Sally replied, "They're so young, their eyes aren't even open yet."
"And what kind of kittens are they?
"Conservative supporters," answered Sally with a sweet smile.
Mr Johnson was delighted, a golden opportunity beckoned.
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 three of them agreed that they should return the next day; and in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.
So the next day, Sally was again on the pavement with her basket of "FREE KITTENS," when Johnson’s motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from BBC, ITV, Channels 4, Channels 5, CNN and Sky News, cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Johnson got out of his limo and walked over to little Sally.
"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," Sally said. "They're Labour supporters."
Taken by surprise, Boris stammered, But...but...yesterday, you told me they were Conservative SUPPORTERS."
Little Sally smiled and said, "I know what I said yesterday sir,
But today, they have opened their eyes."
