Most counter-productive leaflet in by-election history?
Tom Watson MP 14 Jul 10
There’s a by-election in Walsall on Thursday 15th (today). The Conservative candidate has either reproduced a leaflet from May, or misprinted the leaflet and bodged two important amendments. If you look at the black blotches on the page you will see two things.
1. The date of the election was originally printed as Thursday 6th May. An amendment added in black ink to put the new date.
2. This is the bit that simply takes the biscuit. In the section headed “Together building a better town” you see the line “investment in schools”. Above, clearly visible for all to see through the black ink are the words “200 million”…
Not to mention the floating apostrophe – are these people actually educated?
