Taunton Conservative Candidate Forced To Apologise For Slurs Following Police Investigation
The Somerset County Council election took a step into the gutter today when Conservative candidate in West Taunton, Nick James, was forced to issue a public apology for personal attacks on his Lib Dem opponent, Alan Paul, and non-political officers of the Council. The apology came after Police had warned the Conservative agent that a last-minute Conservative leaflet was illegal.

Did he call the LibDem candidate a “greasy haired twat?”
Double standards, Mr Pack, double standards.
I’m tempted to do a barchart showing the number of leaflets involved in each story Iain
Mind you, at least the Lib Dems and Tories are managing to deliver leaflets, which is more than can be said of Labour in many areas. I guess that’s one way to avoid any problems with your literature…
And exactly how can LDV reporting both events in an entirely matter-of-fact way be considered “double standards”?
I notice this has yet to appear on your blog, Mr Dale.
This is great news – go Jeremy Browne!
