on the front:

WINNING THE FIGHT FOR BRITAIN'S FUTURE
Fair rules, fair chances and a fair say for everyone.


on the back:

LABOUR:Winning the Fight for Britain's future

Labour stands up for hard working British people-not just to help people now byt to plan for recovery, renew our society, and reform our government for the future. (yes, they did put a "," before "androlleyes)

Labour is working to win the fight for Britain's future (in red and underlined).

David Cameron's Conservatives have set themselves against providing real help now for families and businesses but want to give tax cuts only to the very wealthiest people and are threatening to cut our police and local transport schemes.

The Tories would make Britain weaker not stronger for the future. (underlined in blue).


Inside:

David Wright, MP for Telford
"What Britain needs now is decisive leadership and firm action. Gordon Brown knows that and so do Labour's European candidates. Voting Labour is the only serious choice."

James Innes, Nuneaton Parliamentary campaigner.
"You can't help but be impressed with Michael and Neena'knowledge, drive and hard work. There is no doubt they are making a real difference."

Minister for International Development and Worcester MP, Mike Foster.
"It has never been more important that Britain has a strong voice in Europe. We need Michael Cashman and Neena Gill out there fighting our corner."

Stoke South MP Rob Flello (no "," after MP like before....inconsistent fools.)
"It is absolutely vital that you use your chance to vote for hope, not hate. Make sure your voice is heard. Vote Labour on June 4th."

PROTECTING WORKERS
We acted to prevent the collapse of the banks to stop businesses closing and thousands of people losing their jobs.

(in blue) Tory inaction would cost Britain more. Had they taken the action we are taking now, at the beginning of the last recession, 300,000 fewer jobs could have been lost.

Our future prosperity depends on a skilled workforce, treated fairly. For Britain to stay ahead we will develop a low carbon economy that creates thousands of new jobs in green technology and advanced manufacturing. Labour MEPs fought for your right to five weeks paid holiday and better paternity and maternity rights and will continue to fight for fair rules for you.


FAIR RULES FOR ALL
Labour believes in fair rules applied to all. We are taking action to bring in an Australian-style Points-Based System for immigration. This will help to reduce the overall number of migrants and make sure we attract only those people with the skills our economy needs. Migrants will also be expected to support themselves, learn English, pay taxes and obey the law before they can become British citizens.

Every neighbourhood in England and Wales has its own neighbourhood police team to keep comminities safe.

Labour MEPs championed the European Arrest Warrant to stop suspected criminals moving between EU countries.

(again in blue) The "do nothing" Tories have repeatedly voted against the measures Labour has taken to control Britain's borders and to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.




I just don't know where to start in my critical analysis of this garbage. Jeez.

Doesn't this sort of stuff contravene the Trade Descriptions Act, or at least illicit a reaction from the ASA as being factually incorrect and misleading?

You'd think so wouldn't you.

The sheer cheek of some of its content illustrates pretty well the type of person who either already does vote labour or whom they think will vote Labour.
