The biggest deception is of course the format and title. Have a look at the image below. The first thing to notice is that nowhere on the front does it say this is a piece of Lib Dem propaganda, no it purports to be "News" and tries to look like a free newspaper.
In fact it has nothing to do with news as can be seen from the next image which is the main headline.
Are the lib dems so dim they don't know who their opposition is. Good though to see that they are predicting a close contest here.The title is just so typical of the Lib Dems who though purporting to be the "nice" party are in fact the most underhand, sleazy, condescending and just plain dishonest of all the major parties, which when they have Labour to compete against says something.
Perhaps if the headline had said
STEWART WHYTE or the Trough Feeding Lib Demit might have been more honest.
Then we could have had a couple of bar charts of number of mortgages taken out by the Lib Dem and then a profit from our money bar chart (£40000 and counting).
If you had any doubt about who to vote for before this should have made your decision just that little bit easier.
The Lib Dems have redefined hypocrisy when it comes to the Edinburgh property portfolios of their MSPs. It will be interesting to see what kind of profit Nicol Stephen makes when he sells his 'substantial Morningside residence', which was obtained by flouting the parliamentary rules. Why the papers and the media in general have never properly gone after him I'll never know.
ReplyDeleteHow long into the new parliament before they change the rules on all this? My guess will be never.
