Title: Those That Stoop So Low
Post by: steveL on May 12, 2016, 07: AM
A Labour councillor arranges to put up a fake Independent in order to split the anti-Labour vote. Not that it could ever happen here, of course -- the investigation, that is  ::)

QuoteA Sedgefield Constituency Labour Party spokesman said: "If the allegations are true the Labour Party must employ the ultimate sanction against anyone bringing the Labour Party into disrepute due to arrogance and an utter disregard for the rules."

Good luck with that. I'd assumed an utter disregard for the rules was compulsory.

QuoteNeil Fleming, regional communications officer for Labour North, confirmed the party was investigating the allegations.

Of course they are. I'm sure they'll investigate it as thoroughly as they did when one of their own was sacked for lying...then lied about being sacked for lying... then lied about another authority claiming they were lying about sacking him for lying... then threatening to take the authority for the court for sacking him for lying, only to end us missing his own tribunal date... by lying.

Some of those Tory seats being investigated were specifically targeted as they looked like UKIP had a good shout.When asked why he or his party hadn't made an official complaint, Farage refused to give a credible answer.Maybe he's scared of what might come to light.

The 'prettying up' of wards before elections is an annual event.
