Lib Dem: Crackdown on Drug Dealers (not)

As reported en passant below the delectable Kerron Cross has a story about Libdemologists and their barmy bar charts. Don't get me started!

He uses the headline "Lib Dems Crackdown on Researchers". A reader writes: "Lib Dem Researchers up on Crack" would be a better headline."

Here in Manchester Labour of Love have now been reliably informed that an anonymous tip from "the Clayton Boggart" was correct. We had reported that The Lib Dems tried to chuck a councillor who outed another Lib Dem member as problematic (a) off their candidates panel (b) out of the party and (c) out of his seat. The Boggart, or Bloggart perhaps?, adding the information that the complaint outed another Lib Dem candidate as a petty gangster scrote and a drug dealer

This outed one allegedly was and possibly still is living the Lib Dem dream of drug dealers on every street corner ahead of the legislation they will push through in the event of a Lib Con pact. This would be quite a big step up from recruiting hooky off licences as poster sites with the implication that curtailed licences (through serving alcohol to feral children) could be more favourably looked at under a "liberal" regime.

Just to make matters worse it was the Lib Dem leadership who put the councillor up to complaining in the first place! Before turning on him. The alleged scrote in question is still up on at least one of their websites. Beaming like a good un. All trace of this character does however seem to have been removed from their main site. Which is not the only piece of airbrushing LoL've noticed.

It will be interesting to see whether they dare to put this man with his alleged misdemeanours up as a candidate in further elections. Let's hope they do. If they don't of course the people will have a good idea why this is.

There has been speculation in the comment from "the Clayton Bloggart" on my blog that the Lib Dem leadership changed their minds because the dealer pointed out where the lines of pills and white powder actually led.

But we'll have to assume that this is completely untrue and search for another credible explanation. Like possibly conspiring all along to get a supposedly safe seat for one of their maverick mates perhaps.
