Brighton businessman launches range of political chamberpots

“Urine trouble” – that’s the message from this peed-off punter who is so fed up with politicians he’s launched a range of chamber pots for people to show public servants what they really think of them.

Tony Blair, Baroness Thatcher, Robert Mugabe – no elected representative is spared from the potential humiliation of people doing their business on an image of their face.

Brighton-businessman Adam Campbell, who came up with the idea, claims his novel range allows people to “exact sweet revenge from above” on those who have “failed to stand up for the people they represent”.

He said: “‎Urinating on one’s enemies has a long history stretching back more than a millennia.

“Give the current level of distrust I thought there must be a more profitable way of making elected representatives realise where they sit on the food chain.

“One of my friends once remarked ‘I wouldn’t pee on them if they were on fire’. That got me thinking and the idea just developed from there.

“We’re completely apolitical – our aim is peepots for peace.

“Literally and metaphorically we’re above politics. It’s revenge from above.”

Mr Campbell, 50, developed the idea of his “thunder bowls” after a run in with those running his own local council about loading bays.

A former Conservative candidate at the local elections, he claimed his interest in becoming involved in politics was down to “youthful folly”.

But now the local businessman claims he’d much rather be on the outside of the tent with his chamber pots than inside peeing out.

Each of the chamber pots has a picture of the politician on the bottom of it, accompanied by a quote.

Former PM Tony Blair’s says “Liar, liar, pants on fire” while a special George Osborne pot comes with the tagline “I believe in public services”.

Internationally, Kim Jong-un’s pot says “I’m so cool and everybody loves me” while the van Rumpuy, depicting the current president of the European Council, has received a number of orders from abroad.

Mr Campbell said: “We have international, national and local politicians.

“The quotes have come from them most of time but sometimes they are comments associated with them.

“These are meant to act as an aide memoire. If people are using it they are into politics so they know why the real purpose.

“What’s more, they are greener than Cameron – they can be reused time and time again. I’m convinced that children will be proud to inherit them.

“The one that’s selling the most is the Thatcher. There’s still a huge feeling of dislike towards her, especially for people in the north of the country.

“But we have started to get interest in Germany for the Merkal. We have a Netanyahu and a Mugabe – no one is spared from the shower of the proverbial.”

The online business has been developed under the moniker Gzunder.

As well as the pots, Mr Campbell offers to print pictures of people’s faces on dart boards and ash trays.

He also has developed a soap, which can be presented to any politician people feel “washing their hands of responsibility”.

He said: “I searched far and wide and couldn’t find anyone who made them. I had a mould created by a small firm in Stoke-on-Trent and use that to make customise pots.

“I’m the only producer outside of North Korea.

“There’s certainly a building interest in them. We’ll even do bespoke ones of ex-husbands, ex-wives and ex-bosses.”

Mr Campbell’s hope is that people start using the title of his business to describe people standing up to their representatives.

He said: “I want everyone to start using the phrase ‘you’ve been gzundered’ so it becomes associated with politicians not doing their jobs.

“But however angry people feel, I do strongly believe that everyone should go and vote, even if they spoil their ballot paper.

“At least with one of these pots they can now relive themselves of their tension and animus on a daily basis.”
