We can reveal to you that Stephen Crabb, the replacement for IDS as Work and Pensions Minister was the original inspiration for the David Brent character of the Office.
Crabb, who is reportedly passionate about his new mission of bringing a more people-friendly face to DWP atrocities, bears many similarities with Brent, including a pointless scrubby little beard and a tendency to talk total bollocks. He also shares Brent’s homophobia, having had links with an organisation that supports “gay cures”
Crabb is expected to say in his first major speech as mid-ranking sales manager Work and Pensions Minister on Tuesday that “We should be in the business of people.”, and has previously made statements of meaningless drivel such as ” we will tackle the root causes of poverty“
Crabb bears a eerily close resemblance to Brent as played by Ricky Gervais, even employing the same gestures and similar facial expressions.
And even the choice of instrument to pose with is the same:
Tomorrow Tuesday 12th April at 12.20pm, at a marketing managers conference the Early Intervention Foundation National Conference, David Brent Stephen Crabb will be making his first sales pitch Speech as East Midlands Region photocopier paper salesperson of the year Work & Pensions Minister.
DPAC and Allies will be holding a twitter reception for him
You can join in the fun on by using the hashtags #EIFNatCon and #TheOrifice (which incidentally is DPAC’s new nickname for Crabb)
Here are some images prepared by the ever-exceptional Brian Hilton, please feel free to download them to tweet and share and there is a tweetlist here with some pre-prepared tweets to use
after yesterday’s channel 4 dispatches let us see how friendly the face of the dwp becomes by sacking the company concerned and starting a serious investigation into the conduct of there nurses including mandatory reporting to there own professional bodies for misconduct not thery process current very weak disciplinary process they have, after all the one that made those comments yesterday was supposed to have been capita best, if that was a good example please show me there worse and the manager at that capita office needs sacking as well
This comparison with David Brent is most offensive; can you please apologize to David for being linked to such a potential Tosser?
Great post – and I hope your twitter reception goes well. I have shared it on aspiblog.wordpress.com.
As an addition, just the very name crabbs makes me think of the STD, Crabs are tiny parasitic blood-sucking wingless insects that infest the human genitals, causing itching and red spots
