Renton 21400 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Got a leaflet today for the local elections. Seemingly from a neutral source, maybe the council?  Hey, this guy on the left literally ticks all the boxes, unlike the others. Better vote for him, even though he's a tory.   Helpful reminder to bring ID, handy in Tynemouth where a sizable proportion of the population are doddery blue rinse pensioners.   Wait, what's this, in tiny writing you can't read without a magnifying glass, and probably not even then if you're a doddery pensioner. Oh right, this leaflet has been printed and paid for by the tory candidate who ticked all the boxes! Of course.  I dare you to knock on my door and canvas me Mr Bartoli. I double dare you mother fucker.    Edited May 2, 2023 by Renton 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30382 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 My first thought was it’s a typical Tory trick but that guy seems to be from a different party called ‘Local Conservatives’. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21400 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 He's a tory. Just another exercise in trying to make their branding more palatable by distancing themselves from the national party. Lots will fall for us. Not here like, the population is now predominantly younger professionals who despise the cunts and are wise to them.  https://www.indy100.com/politics/local-conservatives-elections-boris-johnson  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19985 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 They've been doing similar around here. I noticed that a lot of Tory MP's have removed their party from their Twitter Bio's too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10791 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Tories round here are hiding Conservative in small font on the signs and leaflets too. We even got a Lib-Dem-Yellow leaflet that hid Tory in small font at the bottom. They'll still get a fair amount of the vote because of the area (old, fairly well-off), but hopefully the Lib Dems sweep up with the younger crowd.

PaddockLad 17129 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Brutal down here due to Tory corruption. McKinstry might be a Libdem according to this, I thought he was just a punter but he’s almost single handed exposed the bent fuckers in the Tory group on BCP council to the extent they re regular targets for Private Eye’s Rotten Boroughs    4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21400 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Honestly, struggling to get even interested in this. The worse the tories do, the more they will put off the GE and the more the country is fucked.  One thing I did like I think was a green leaflet where they had a simple bar chart showing the proportion of votes each candidate got in the last election, and who you should vote for tactically if you want shot of the tories. Completely within the rules, I hope this is widely adopted in the GE whenever that is and thepincer movement splits the tories in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
