BOY, THERE'S A PARTY THAT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE:

General election 2010: David Cameron 'just like Ashes to Ashes' Gene Hunt' (Daily Telegraph, 4/03/10)

David Cameron is similar to Gene Hunt, the politically-incorrect TV detective, a Labour party poster claims, which reminds voters of the social unrest that plauged Britain during the 1980s.

A Tory source said: "It feels like an odd decision to depict David Cameron as a cool TV character.

"We wish we had thought of it."

The entire series revolves around the idea that the sort of Englishman represented by Gene Hunt is vastly preferable to the PC metrosexual of the aughts.
