Election Leaflets!!!

[bunn]

I love election leaflets. We've just had our first one arrive for the European elections. It's a LibDem one.

According to the leaflet, the LibDems are against Paedophiles and Organised Crime, and for Protecting Local Jobs. They are also in favour of Real Jobs for Real People (not like those fake people that the other parties are all about) and Making the EU Work Better For You. Those are the headline things. From the paragraph text, they also seem to be fans of Big Piles of EU Cash For All.

In subliminal messaging, all the people in the photos are white, and all look over forty. Most are male, although three are women (one lady appears three times! She must be important.) The other two women are Back of a Head, and Face Obscured By Flyer. The LibDem team have a photo of themselves taken with the Britannia Inn in Saltash (that's the one with a giant Union Jack painted across the entire building). They get a gold star for putting my name and full address on the leaflet, all spelt correctly. They clearly enjoy wearing hi vis jackets in either yellow OR orange.

I am looking forward excitedly to the promises of other parties, delivered in digestible leaflet form.

"Protecting Local Jobs", "Real Jobs for Real People", "all the people in the photos are white", "that's the one with a giant Union Jack painted across the entire building".


Racists...

The only leaflets arriving here you better do not mention - radical right wing.

Ooh! There's a giant Union Jack painted on some enormous hangar doors on the waterfront in East Cowes. (It's the world's largest Union Jack, apparently. But it always make me giggle, ever I misheard it once as "Union Jackdaws". I always call them "Union Jackdaws" now. Nobody ever notices.) But, anyway, I will await with some interest to see if our local LibDems pose in front of these doors, since then it will suggest that Posing In Front Of Ginormous Union Jacks is a Thing, perhaps one commanded by head office. I will imagine LibDems in places less blessed with ginormo flags smiling doggedly in front of Banners of Slightly Bigger Than Average (But Only Just) size, and hoping that it will do.

No leaflets at all here.

We have so far had a UKIP leaflet, and a Yes one.

I forgot that a conservative leaflet was waiting for us when we got back from Orkney. Under normal circumstances, I might at least have glanced at it, but there was so much waiting for us that anything less than vital wemt straight in the recycling.
