(27 Apr 2015, 10:15 pm)Adam wrote I've had a UKIP leaflet through my door. I'm sure we're in the same constituency. It basically says something along of the lines of "We're the party who are the closest challengers to Labour". They then harp on about their incredibly close 2nd in the Heysham and Middleton (I think it's called that) by-election last year. The leaflet is also very generic. There's no mention whatsoever about the candidate name.
I'm in the Blaydon constituency and I've received no leaflet. But what the leaflet says illustrates my point. If UKIP are the 'closest challengers to Labour' (which, in Blaydon, I seriously doubt), why back down from the challenge?
