The Reform party in Bracknell apparently posted this extremely strange graphic on their Facebook when fighting the town council by-election.
I’m really not sure what the icons on the right are supposed to represent – a ban on plunging your toilet? – but the general idea was for the photo to highlight “Labour’s neglect of our roads”.
The only issue with that is that the road depicted is in a totally different country. It’s a stock image of a road in Texas, US.
Well, actually, that’s not the only issue to be honest. Apparently the duties of the town council position being fought for actually have very little to do with roads anyway. Roads are the job of a borough councillor – a totally different job.
Labour councillor Bailey says:
Reform, meanwhile, care so little about our community that they’re busy producing campaign materials about the state of roads in Texas. The Reform candidate also does not seem to be aware that roads are the responsibility of Bracknell Forest council, not the town council which he is standing for.
So it’s yet another instance of Reform making promises that their candidates will do things that they could not even in theory work on given the position they’re seeking.
