A new set of garden gnomes has just burst on to the scene. Timed to coincide with the fortcoming general election in the UK, three new characters have been produced in a limited edition for a local TV station. The gnomes are disguised as the three party leaders sporting rosettes and acting out their policies.
"There is a gnome for every political persuasion. The exquisite Tony Blair model is digging around for non-existent weapons of mass destruction," a statement said.
"For those with an influx of snails and other garden beasties there is the scary Michael Howard gnome holding a "Keep Out" sign and for the more relaxed, there's a charming carrot-topped fellow sitting on a fence supping from a glass of ginger beer."
If you fancy one for your garden, you will have a fight on your hands because there are just ten sets which are to be offered in an online competition organised by the digital television gardening channel, UKTV Style Gardens, who released the models.
