Gordon Brown and three Labour Candidates in Glasgow caught out attempting acts of deception on voters, lies printed on Labour leaflets














Dear All

One of the hallmarks of the Labour Party campaign is their use of lying to the public.

Not making a mistake but actually lying.

Gordon Brown has now been caught by making false claims that the Scottish National Party was to cut concessionary travel.

I would say to people, if you can’t trust him to tell the truth, can you trust him to work for you?

Lying is not a legitimate tool of electioneering as it treats voters with sheer contempt.

From the top of the Labour Party to the bottom, it is rotten to the core.

Gordon Brown to Ian Davidson to William Bain, right across the board they have attempted each of them to deceive people in their election leaflets.

Labour Candidate Margaret Curran is also a liar.

In her last attempt to win the seat of Glasgow East, she claimed she had lived and worked in the East end all her life.

For over two decades she has lived in the south side of Glasgow.

And on the employment from she is listed as having worked at Jordanhill in the West end of Glasgow.

In Curran’s leaflet she too also uses the false and misleading claim the SNP plans to cut concessionary travel.

So to what point is this tactic used for?

It is to create fear among the people.

It is disgraceful that so many Labour politicians feel that it is acceptable to use deception to attempt to secure public office.

Is it any wonder that trust in politics and politicians is so low when such underhanded tactics are used.

Gordon Brown pledged to clean up politics; the truth is that was another lie.

But now the public know, and on the 6th May 2010, the opportunity exists to send these people out of public life.

And everyone should this opportunity to do so.

Yours sincerely
