Guildford Liberal Democrats' Misinformation and Smear Campaign goes into overdrive

I’m told that Guildford residents are currently the victims of a leaflet blitz by the Guildford Liberal Democrats. I understand the leaflets are full of the usual misleading information, though not quite as bad as the literature delivered last week here in Woking. The main gripes against the Tories are the Civic Hall, which I have dealt with here, alleged “Road Shame”, “Crime action” (dealt with here), “Green action” and the “Hospital Cuts “con trick”” dealt with here and here. I am told that a couple of matters raised in the leaflet are outright lies, so I am verifying that independently. Oh yes, and apparently the Guildford Liberal Democrats are doing the usual “Can’t win here!” job on Labour, referring to the 2005 General Election results, a matter I have dealt with here. I am informed that recycling in Guildford has taken off since the Tories took over from the Guildford Liberal Democrats, so I am bemused by the latter’s attempt to smear the Tory performance. The electorate’s memory might be short, but it has to be longer than four years. I’ve forgotten the mechanics of road repair, but I can definitely say that it is a County, not a Borough matter, though Borough repair teams might do some of the work at the direction of the County Council - another matter to verify.

I’ll be back.


The Liberal Democrats. Don't rely on facts because fiction can be so much more fun.
