Published: December 6th 2008 - at 1:57 pmTory recession ad uses bankrupt builder
Oh dear, these Joe the Plumber attack ads don’t really work do they? Well, here’s another reason to point and laugh at the Tories, courtesy of Mark at Libdemvoice:
Shane Prescott starred in the Conservative party broadcast on Thursday, claiming his business had struggled because of the recession. But Companies House records show the 51-year-old father-of-four’s loft conversion firm actually went into liquidation at the height of the boom in 2006.
More at the Liverpool Daily Post. The ad is as fatuous as their own economic plans.

Oh well, no one ever went bust under the Tories, did they?
is it actually incumbent on the opposition to state policies – isn’t that what we elect a Government to do? Isn’t the role of the opposition to point out that the government doesn’t actually have a clue what to do?
