The Lib Dems are at it again -- two more campaign missives pushing the same fake statistic. Since the first of these very kindly contained the candidate's home address, I have written him a green-ink letter (black ink, actually) telling him why I shall in consequence not be voting for him or his party :-(

We are being deluged in local election literature here, especially by the Liberal Democrats, who have evidently decided to make a big push in this area.
