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!
