But there ARE plenty of pics of Blair out and about campaigning in his official car during the 2005 election campaign
From Littlejohn's book once straplined 'Thirteen Years Of Labout Madness'.
Book said:
Blair (Met Sir Ian) did more than anyone to politicise policing. He thought he could run the Met like a branch of Haringey Town Hall. He repaid Labour's patronage by everything from lobbying hard for extended detention without trial to lending Tony Blair a police Range Rover emblazoned with 'Vote Labour' at the 2005 general election.
Now that there are three sources, one at the time in 2005 and two after the fact in 2008 and 2010 with all three showing that what I said happened did indeed happen, hopefully the next weak offerings will resort to the ad hom fallacy of shooting the messengers, confirming a total lack of evidence against what I posted..

It happened as I described though iirc it wasn't covered heavily by the red rag Guardian or its broadcasting outlet the BBC.
If you folks can't find any articles on this you're not looking just wasting pixels on dreck.
"During the May election campaign in 2005, he (Met Sir Ian Blair) permitted police Range Rovers ferrying Tony Blair to carry 'Vote Labour' stickers"
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/ianbla...
"Shadow Home Secretary David Davis called for the slogans to be removed from the vehicles. He said: "It's essential that the police are impartial. If there are any Labour slogans on cars paid for out of the taxpayers' budget they should be removed immediately."
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-345317/Po...
It's nothing to do with any/no additional cost to the Met as their vehicles are already publicly funded and that's why it's simply inappropriate as pointed out in the articles...the Range Rovers were/are for public service not partisan political service which is precisely what electioneering is..Politicised police - not new and not appropriate whatever the politics.
So 4v4’s resprayed and repainted in vote Labour livery becomes ..
Had a little yellow sticker in the window saying “Vote Labour” which was probably promptly removed

Thanks for confirming that what I said happened is what happened.Had a little yellow sticker in the window saying “Vote Labour” which was probably promptly removed
Three sources already confirmed it so you didn't need to but well done anyway.
Yes resprayed, and yes with Vote Labour slogans.
Your made-up fairy story about removing little stickers is awesome.
No doubt you have links for the story you claim
Sore loser not much.

I’d suggest that due to the threat levels .. armoured vehicles already in service and in full Police livery were de-liveried to provide additional VIP coverage as Blair travelled Nationally and the standing covert armoured fleet was insufficient
The articles say “vote Labour” stickers in the window !
Once again .. show me a picture of these vote Labour Range Rovers ?

There must be plenty of photos of these 4x4 with VOTE LABOUR “emblazoned” on them? Or maybe they don’t exist because they don’t exist?
It’s all rather strange .. there are hundreds of photos online of Blair during the 2005 election campaign Dozens of photos of him next to, or in, Official cars
Not one .. has any visible “Vote Labour” markings
If TB .. that’s turbo not Tony can show me a pic of one of these Vote Labour liveried Range Rovers I’ll accept it
But he hasn’t and I’m not holding my breath for him to do so

After asking me for evidence and getting it this alternative of 'No Evidence' when justifying twaddle is impressive.
Do you reckon the drivers wore yellow vests
So far we've had temporary little stickers (was that not a Postman Pat story?) and a unicorn theory - when both Scotland Yard and a Shadow Home Secretary are quoted on the events of 2005.
Scotland Yard said:
Following a risk assessment, it was decided that these vehicles were most appropriate for the Prime Minister and his police bodyguards during the General Election. There will be no additional costs to the Met.
Hardly the point, the entire scheme was inappropriate.Article said:
The force also said that the Labour Party would pick up the cost of the changes to the vehicles and would return them in their original conditions after the General Election.
Scotland Yard describing events that did not take place while telling porkies shocker? PHers with chutzpah and rhetoric but no evidence against three published sources? Fairy stories trumping the Yard's version? Of course...desperate stuff is like that :

This from my files showing MSM coverage with comment from Scotland Yard and the (then) Shadow Home Secretary.
It's fascinating that these words don't appear to exist on the internet other than in your files.edit - found it. Daily Mail. Imagine my surprise.

Local forces provided the motorcycle escort, pilot and tail cars for the Met Security details
Vehicles for use by the principals would often travel independently from their intended users and be pre-positioned. On numerous occasions they were garaged at our secure unit. We also frequently borrowed vehicles from manufacturers to boost our capability
Having seen Blair, and others, frequently during the election campaign, and being involved in providing his security, I can honestly say I never saw ANY Vote Labour liveried vehicles nor any bearing any political affiliation at all
I’m speaking from my personal experience, you are quoting the Daily Wail ( note :don’t believe every thing you read in the paper)
Now if at some point vehicles had Vote Labour stickers on them, I’m sure they would very quickly have been removed .. but, I never saw any vehicles with them
But you are asserting that vehicles were resprayed into Vote Labour livery and used on the campaign trail
Well, as one who was actually involved in protecting Blair in that campaign I’m saying I never saw them
If you say they were .. then show us a picture of one of them during the campaign your ability to search the internet seems far better than mine

Our wonderful boys in blue attacking yellow vest protest in London last week.

They seem to have been taking lessons from their French counterpart in thuggery.

Can you point out the thuggery by the police? I watched about half of that and just saw a load of idiots yelling abuse at the police, who seemed to be displaying remarkable restraint.https://youtu.be/eYpho07sJ2A

Didn't see any 'thuggish' attacks myself, so maybe you could point them out?
