Spot the difference (UK Conservatives change protest photos)
http://images.thetimes.co.uk/TGD/picture/0,,192030,00.jpg


"HERE are two pictures of Ed Matts, the prospective Tory candidate in Dorset South, Labour’s most marginal seat, with Ann Widdecombe at a demonstration against the deportation of an asylum-seeker. In the first he holds a photograph of the family and Miss Widdecombe displays a placard saying: “Let them stay”.

The second image is from Mr Matts’s election literature. The crowd has disappeared and the words are changed. Mr Matts has admitted doctoring the photograph because voters would “not understand” that Tory policy is for “controlled immigration” and “humane limits on asylum applications”. "

Absolute geniuses - using photos from a protest to SUPPORT somebody seeking asylum to represent the Tories' anti-asylum views.

4. I hate to say it but an Aussie is the mastermind behind the Tory
Party in the UK. Lynton Crosby, who could give Karl Rove a few lessons, has masterminded the last 3 elections of our weasel and Bush suck-hole PM Howard.

Now he's applying the same tactics for the Conservatives in the UK. He's already whipped up hate against Gypsies..or Travelers as they are now called and Asylum Seeker hate is par for the course.
