Labour picks an unusual poster location in Bradford

It’s not unusual for parties to put up posters in by-elections, far from it. But Labour don’t seem to have fully thought through their choice of one poster location in the Bradford West by-election.

One of the issues coming up in the campaign is Labour’s neglect of the town centre. So where has Labour put up one of its posters? On a run-down building just outside the town centre, neatly not only drawing more attention to the building but also associating Labour with it. Why, thank you Labour poster team.

    If that’s the building I think it is, it’s not exactly in the city centre.

    It *is* however next to the football ground

    Who cares? Seriously, lets see an article from Mark Pack on regional pay, the NHS or anything important? go on I dare you.

  • Billy: Odd to demand I write a piece on “anything important” when in the last week I’ve also done blog posts on the Budget, plans for economic growth and employee rights amongst other matters. I believe they count as “important” 🙂

    Alisdair: Fair point; next to the centre is a better description. Will update.

  • Did you take the picture yourself?

  • Mark ack….. next to the centre is a better description….

    Perhaps ‘over half a mile from the city centre’ might be even better

    You are obviously unappreciative of irony, Mark.

    Ha! A building known to many round those parts as a former nightclub once owned by a well-known *Conservative* councillor.
