Tory Ed Matts (of doctored photo fame) in new photo controversy
http://www.thisisdorset.net/dorset/weymouth/news/WEYMOUTH_NEWS_NEWS0.html

"TORY hopeful Ed Matts was embroiled in a new fuss over election photos today after using a picture of Olympic gold medallists in his campaign leaflets.

'Golden girls' Sarah Ayton and Sarah Webb hit out after Conservative candidate Mr Matts published a picture of them in a campaign leaflet, giving the thumbs-up with him at an event on Portland

Labour supporter Miss Ayton, 24, of Old Castle Road, Weymouth, today insisted that she was backing Labour candidate Jim Knight in the fight for the South Dorset seat.

Ms Webb added that she was not told about the leaflet or asked for her permission and would not have given her consent to be included."

2. What is REALLY amusing...
...is that this seat is one of the biggest Conservative targets. The Labour majority is only 153 votes but with a doofus like this as the Tory candidate they must have a fighting chance!
