New Tory Sedgley leaflet - how stupid do they think we are?
I don’t like to bash the opposition for the sake of it, but the new Sedgley Tory leaflet deserves a mention for its sheer cheek. I urge you all to take a look at it for comedy value, because it does a better job than anything we could put out about the deceitful nature of the local Conservatives.
The Sedgley Conservative spokesman has attempted a “before and after” photograph of a road which he claims has had some “slow” markings painted on it after his plea to the Council for action. Unfortunately, his ”before” shot is exactly the same photo as his “after” shot, only cropped slightly so that the “slow” markings aren’t shown. And I mean it’s exactly the same. The angle is the same. The trees are the same. Even the parked cars are the same! It isn’t “before” and “after” so much as “after” and “after, but a bit smaller.” How stupid do they think we are?
So if you want free Photoshop lessons, I suggest you get in touch with the local Tories. They have clearly mastered the basics of reducing size (if not editing to make them look a bit different…). If you want an honest and hard-working local Councillor, don’t vote for the party that tries to convince you of hard work by cropping photos and hoping nobody will notice.
And all this from the party who’s St Mary’s candidate at the last election, Stephen Morris (third place in May in my ward), has recently defected to the English Democrats, a tiny party on the fringes of politics who were formerly known as the English National Party.
So in St Mary’s we have a right-wing defector, and in Sedgely we have a man who thinks that the way to win votes is through deception and first-grade Photoshop.
They clearly think we’re very stupid indeed…
