derek conway mp

here's a play on a benefit fraud poster ive been working on for an intervention brief. derek conway is the disgraced tory mp for bexley and sidcup who claimed a ridiculous amount of expenses as pay for his two sons who were supposedly his researchers but actually just blew thousands of taxpayers £££s on uni life and running their own westend clubs. for some bizarre reason conway's still the mp, he's just been ordered to pay back fines from his wages for the next year or so.

you know the advert with the fat chav coming out of her council house to do her daily bit of benefit fraud? yeah its that advert but with conways face in the target and a few tweaked words. i first saw this poster on a phone box in peckham, but the plan is to search across conways old bexley and sidcup constituency to find a phone box there which is plastered with the same ad, and cover it over with my pseudo-activist propaganda thus making the location of the poster relevant.
