CONSERVATIVES in Blackburn have circulated an election leaflet apparently blaming the Labour government for “atrocities” in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The flier, titled “Labour shows its true colours”, bears the name of the agent for Tory candidate Michael Law-Riding and was delivered folded inside an official party newsletter.

It also accuses Israel of “killing and maiming thousands of innocent civilians”.

He said killing somebody was always “an atrocity”, whatever the circumstances, insisting he always supported British troops.

But he later said his agent, Joan Bamber, had not approved the leaflet, accepting it was “inflammatory and sends out the wrong message.”

The leaflet, printed in English and Gujarati, said: “We have in front of us a whole saga of atrocities committed in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Palestine, and if this was not enough, the Labour government allowed the Israeli government to create havoc in Lebanon and Gaza in Palestine..killing and maiming thousands of innocent civilians.

“The Labour government did nothing..for a number of days while the Israelis carried on their inhuman killing of innocent men, women and children.”

I can't be any worse than labour's leaflets plus at least there's some truth in it.

Hold on, I thought it was the Left who wanted Labour hung and grawn for the "war crimes" and attrocities angle in Iraq and Afghanistan? And wanted to nail Israel.

Are we now saying it is the Right?
