It is what I expect from all of the main political parties.

A slightly different message sent to voters depending on the demographic information.

I suppose women recieve different flyers from those addressed to men, with pictures of children on the cover instead of a man in his overalls et c.

I think for the main political parties, is all about just saying anything to squeeze past the latest scandal towards the next election.

BTW Will, I see that ‘Tory Stories’ have an interesting editorial on this, in which they say I believe that Tory material will first have had to be vetted by the Chief Whip:

Will, the Observer said that this called in to question Cameron’s claims to be promoting ethnic minorities.

That’s wrong.

Cameron’s own “modernization” agenda is yet again plunged in to crisis!

I thought the whole point of LeftFoodForward was 'evidence based blogging'? This is awful. Again. http://tinyurl.com/ylkpxw8

I can’t stand Cameron and his cronies but I don’t think there is a story in this. Couldn’t it just be that they chose certain photos and it wasn’t a racially motivated decision? The race debate in this country is quite fragile and this story seems to be a lot of guess work on motivation and the leaflets aren’t offensive in anyway. I can’t speak about them superimposing pics of people onto other pics but where is the EVIDENCE that the decision made on what pictures to use was based on race??? There doesn’t seem to be any evidence too suggest this.
