Just to put in perspective what a Labour candidate - a female one too - has to face standing as a candidate for the Pallion ward in Sunderland a friend sent this comment as she finished her campaigning. I despair that a Labour candidate faces such intimidation and downright lies and smears in the North East.
“Morning everyone
So 6 days to election and I am going to start sharing my campaign on this page
I have been trolled relentlessly by opposition….. bearing in mind whatever the result these people will want to work with me through my community work so they can look good
I’ve had lies printed about me such as I don’t do anything in the community, I get paid 90k a year for my job (I wish
) I made Pallion 2nd choice, I have mounted pavements trying to run over opposition who are delivering leaflets, videoed using young girls to deliver my leaflets ( it was my 34 year old daughter
) …. I am the most hated person in Pallion, I am a wannabe porn star with no brains… the list goes on and on and the more serious offences were reported to police.
Despite this crap I want to represent my community and I will get stuff done. So if you live in the Area where I am standing In the local election, if you think I am the right person for the job or if you have NEVER voted before in your life put a big fat juicy
in the box next to Karen Noble on Thursday May 5th to show these lying bullies that their underhand tactics do not work
