Same old Tories

Vote for the solid, stable choice:

Ian Oakley, 31, of West Drayton, northwest London, admitted mounting a two-year hate campaign against Sal Brinton, who he considered his main rival to defeat the sitting Labour MP.

Oakley admitted making silent phone calls to her home and sending lesbian magazines and letters addressed to “Sal Bitchton” to her workplace.

The candidate, who resigned from the Conservative Party after his activities were discovered, also slashed tyres and wrecked shutters at the party’s local offices.

“Mrs Brinton had lesbian magazines sent to her home address and her work address,” she said.

“Campaign material was sent to her office which had been defaced with such phrases as ‘Go back to Cambridge, you evil bitch’ and ‘Suck my cunt Sal Brinton’.”

His extraordinary campaign later broadened to include anyone associated with the Watford Lib Dems. From February to May this year, Oakley hounded Russell Wilson, a Watford borough councillor, with letters accusing him of paedophilia and daubed graffiti on his home branding him a “scum scum perv”.

“Letters were in fact sent to his neighbours stating he was a member of a child-abuse ring,” Ms Rayner said.

“A further letter said he was a ’sick cunt and child abuser’ was sent and torn Liberal Democrat leaflets were put through his door.”

Not that the Lib Dummies are strangers to these sorts of tactics.
