John Mann has been sending out letters on various subjects to caefully chosen sections of the Bassetlaw electorate. Different in subject matter, the letters share a common style. A mixture of omissions, half-truths, downright lies and deception. They are designed to appeal at a visceral level and promote anger and outrage. To get votes for John Mann.

Who paid for the distribution of this deception?

Not John Mann, who, on his Facebook page, states “we don’t have the opposition’s money” and begs for campaign donations.

Directly or indirectly, the dissemination of this literature was paid for by the unions. Indirectly as they are the Labour Party’s major contributor and directly as they sponsor John Mann.

So there you have it; the unions sponsoring a member of the current government to mislead the voters.

I thought these kind of shennigans disappeared with Old Labour.

Apparently not.
