Typical underhand tactics by Labour at the Albion

[Giraffe]

Labour leaflets - North Stand Chat

and what were MORI surveying people about. I arrived late so when approached to complete a 15 minute survey I declined.

Truly, it was a disgrace, especially as it rode on the back of the achievements of Albion in the Community.

What do you expect from low life

 

[theonesmith]

Very wrong of them to do so if you ask me.

 

[Rookie]

you mean our great and glorious government lie and print untruthful things

Leaflet Gate.

Disgraceful. They could of used far more honest tactics such as spreading scare stories about immigrants, blaming volcanic eruptions on people and pretending to have met black sailors in Plymouth

I hope the club do take them to task and this bites them very hard back, idiots.

They won't though, because the Tories and the Lib Dems have never given a toss about the Albion when we needed them to.

Have checked this with Martin now, and he was not asked and would not have given permission for this. We are taking it up with the Labour Party.

But to be fair if they have quoted a statement that has been made publicly previously then they don't need his permission.

I didn't see the leaflet (as I suspect many of the outraged people on this thread didn't either) so cannot comment on the detail but as long as they've not created a special quote from him, or used something said in private as public or indeed havn't claimed responsibility for things they havn't done then they are entitled to do this. If they state that a labour administration (be it council or government) have taken steps to support community initiatives or the club's plans then they are entitled to do so.

Don't forget Paul Elgood (Lib Dem) showing himself holding the Div 3 championship trophy to demonstrate his support for the Albion in his leaflets previously! Or indeed Judith Symes (Conservative) saying how she would support a new home for the Albion (but not saying where she would have it - as long as it wasn't in her prospective constituency it turned out following some lengthy questioning).

There is some unarguable facts and they are:

- that a labour government were in power when the Albion got their stadium
- that a labour controlled authority gave planning permission for both Withdean and Falmer (despite a the only votes against both applications being from Tory members - 4 objected to withdean and 1 to Falmer).

I dont blame them for linking the two things - its called tapping into the cultural g spot of voters.

For those who missed the crazy propaganda....

 

[The Large One]

That is bloody naughty.

And there is a sloppy typo. What's a 'staidum?'

 

[Giraffe]

I think the point is that I doubt the club want to be seen to be supporting one party more than any other. It just isn't something they would want to do. The leaflet is effectively claiming that they are BHA's approved party so come on Albion fans vote for us. No thanks.

 

[BLOCK F]

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it!!!

 

[Chicken Run]

The f***ing picture of the stadium is wrong too, or am I being a bit too hard on whoever put this together?

Brilliant - and in the sentence about educational courses

 

[Chicken Run]

I say we let our views be known eh!

It's called opportunism.
Some of it is cringeworthy, but every party indulges in it.
