Another letter from "You and Your Family" in today's post, entitled "Brexit Special" with a barrage of bad or downright dishonest arguments, pink background and lots of Theresa May. Again, any mention of the local area or their candidate is somewhat lacking. Even the name of the Conservative party only comes up in passing.

If they are sending this tripe to me, it shows that their targeting is somewhat flawed. It's bad enough to drive a man to join the Liberal Democrats!

Never seen such a naff, over centralised campaign. And what's worse is that I still think that the constituency where I live is theirs to lose.
