Independant? Is that some sort of chain of office?

Unfortunately a candidate's freepost election leaflet is subject to the normal Royal Mail restrictions on offensive or indecent content, so her leaflet doesn't have the full range of delightful policies that are on her website.

Barbara Fielding-Racists Freepost is hilarious, she's an INDEPENDANT. Remarkable incompetence for someone who is Leader, Nominating Officer, and Treasurer of a registered political party. I hear she has blamed her staff, who have been sacked and then re-instated.  |

A Conservative leaflet in Newham once misspelt the word "education". Luckily I wasn't the agent on that occasion! |

And today's Nuttall story ...
In 2009 (according to his website) he was invited to join the Board of a Training Board in the North West.
The Board's CEO says ... no, he wasn't.
Oh dear.

That is the eighth significant lie we have uncovered on his website so far.

Presumably your lot are concentrating in the Pakistani populated areas and if UKIP have any sense they will be concentrating elsewhere Emphatically not! In any event only 4-5% of the electorate are of Pakistani origin. My excursions have taken me to a surprisingly large number of new-build (within last 10 years) property. The media portray the constituency as essentially embittered, elderly former miners / ceramicists living in terraced housing. It's not like that. Try Oliver Road on google streetview ... What is this meant to prove exactly? The properties on that road are not new build. They look like 1950s built council housing to me. Also 75% of the people I can see there are Pakistanis. Not suggesting that is a reflection of any reality, but what is this supposed to be an illustration of exactly? |

My trip on streetview only revealed 2 clearly identifiable pedestrians - both white! Well-kept houses, trimmed hedges, trees - not the London media cliché of Stoke Central. Incidentally, I was there "in the flesh" on Wednesday. And thought - nice place! For new build try Godwin Way. The large development at Joiner Square probably not yet on streetview. |

This, and the other instances of UKIP incompetence here, are a very good reason (amongst many others) for the conservatives not to be entering into silly pacts or alliances with them. |

To re-use a Lenin quote I think the Conservative party's attitude to UKIP these days is to "support them as the rope supports the hanged man". |

Think I agree with Pete that they (and adjoining streets) look like "cottage" type council development - whatever they are, certainly not built as upscale housing. Not terraces but then all cities of reasonable size have expanded since the mass terrace era ended before WW1 so not a surprise that there are some different housing types. |

That is the eighth significant lie we have uncovered on his website so far. What puzzles me is why he has to tell the porkies. Does he think that being in the Semi-final Crowd or losing a close personal friend will give him any traction in with the Stoke Central electorate? It seems bizarre behaviour. Maybe he just can't help himself? His ideological chum across the pond seems to have a similar mentality. |

Stoke Central is around a third terraced, with more semi detached. There are, as far as I can tell, only 8 constituencies with a majority of terraced housing - Hyndburn, Hull North, Liverpool Walton, Pendle, Blaenau Gwent, Cynon Valley, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhonnda. Six of which are very safe Labour, one not so safe, and one held by the Conservatives. |

I have to agree with those who say Oliver Road is classic post war council estate where traditionally Labour would expect a 60% plus vote share |
