Very inconsistent and confusing leaflets

Posted by Savannah_Shimazu@reddit | miltonkeynes | View on Reddit | 43 comments

(Maybe double post, original attwmpt lacked images for whatever reason) This guy can't even consistently put the right area on his campaigns

Seems relevant as this guy is an independent, but not only is the text at the bottom wrong (Wolverton area, says West Bletchley, cant even proof read)

But this guys X presence is... something

Not even trying to be political but can anyone even tell me what the hell this campaign is even trying to do? It seems like its happy with being second place and is weirdly like 'oh but ill try!'

Deeply unserious, and confusing

(Fwiw I bin all the leaflets from all parties, no allegiance here just the bin or letter drawer lmfao)

Seems like a solid guy. He'd have my vote if he was running in my ward.

I'd rather have an independent to vote for than my choice of Lib, Lab, Con, Ref, Green.

This dudes twitter is, a choice.

SquashyDisco@reddit

Ooooh spill

newtonbase@reddit

I dint have X but on one of his Facebook pages he reposts 'Tommy Robinson'.

[-]

Suspicious_Flower_0@reddit

He'll be one of those running as "independent" and then switch to Reform as soon as they're elected

[-]

Psychedelia_Smith@reddit

He’s Restore. Reform are too left wing for this guy. Restore all over his X account.

rosielouisej@reddit

what is it? i refuse to use it nowadays

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

Yeah I didnt want to like make it about that

But I recognised him from there, since the feed is mostly... that kinda thing now

[-]

PatientPoet3146@reddit

He stood for UKIP in CMK a few years ago. A deeply unpleasant individual.

[-]

AnonyFron@reddit

I emailed to ask him why he spelled politician wrong.

He replied saying it's "how he chooses to spell it" and that he has no intention of becoming one.

Really mixed, poorly worded messaging.

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

My not so polite text got a 'good feedback' response

I'm not sure if this is like... a thing of his...? Someone i spoke to speculated he might be doing it to gather responses to post on X/Twitter or Facebook, hence why hes doing it here (Wolverton area)

I have no issue with it, but i can only imagine given his xenophobic social media presence that hes picked Wolverton specifically for its diversity

[-]

Routine_Map2832@reddit

Políticians get lots of money. I promise you I won’t do it if you vote me. I will fight them

Translates to: I also want to be a politician and be rich

[-]

Psychedelia_Smith@reddit

Struggling to understand why he’s standing as an independent when he’s got Restore all over his X profile. Comments that the Conservatives are just short of being Marxist.

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

Ah, Comrade Kemi Badenoch, long known socialist & supporter of workers rights /s

Idk where they get these worldviews

[-]

BillPayers@reddit

"I can't do worse...It's worth trying"... Woah there with your lofty ambitions!

[-]

mad-un@reddit

He clearly states on the leaflet that he ha NO personal ambition.

So must just be running without the drive to succeed in getting elected

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

I literally couldn't not stop laughing

I cannot imagine what it took to like willingly type that on to a campaign leaflet

[-]

BillPayers@reddit

It was the "Local... Local... Local... Local..." Printed in Northampton that made me outwardly chuckle

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

I don't want to bring too much focus on it (although hes put it through presumably thousands of doors, so no difference) since he has some pretty grim views publicly, but that isnt an office address, he is literally doing this in the worst possible way...? Even far smaller campaigns have at least a registered office

Im kinda lowkey concerned this is a form of AI psychosis, read the text and what he puts online, its all just like this

Idek if this is a legit campaign or at this point straight up junk mail, and I suspect the lack of campaign points has something to do with what it appears his whole platform is - probably enough awareness to know pushing divisive and xenophobic content through peoples doors is unwise (legally, too)

[-]

AnonyFron@reddit

"Politicans" lol

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

or coherently know which area he is handing out leaflets in (im 99% sure he is dropping them off himself)

[-]

Jimmyboro@reddit

Is he aiming for winning part of the Connibirrow constituency? God I hope not.

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

he's aiming to win something, for sure, but i imagine just like me all he gets are texts saying 'please don't put your rubbish through my door'. I think if he led with what he says online (in full public view) im sure not so polite words may be a lesser of his problems as I think he's physically handing them out himself

[-]

darybrain@reddit

Wolverton is west of Bletchley in a northwest kind of way

[-]

Any-Republic-4269@reddit

Not a career politician and not a graphic designer either

[-]

wholesomechunk@reddit

Lots of reform idiots are posing as independents, they’ll swap once the scam is won, for democratic reasons.

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

I think he's representing restore? as others found him too

[-]

wholesomechunk@reddit

A cheek of the same arse.

[-]

Samson_Hydrofoil@reddit

I love that he lists "no personal ambition" as a selling point.

[-]

majorpickle01@reddit

"i can't do worse" kinda makes me want to vote for him more ngl haha.

Although retired 35 year business owner tells me he's probably somewhat centre right.

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

oh no no no, this guy believes in a lot of... colorful things

[-]

majorpickle01@reddit

yeah ok my read was completely correct on him being a right wing nutter haha.

Still the honesty of I can't do worse is a terrible slogan for your leaflet but quite funny

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

Especially given the iceberg of underlying messaging going on here too, he isnt even using an office address like any other independent does (especially given his rants), utterly absurd levels of confidence I'll give him that

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

'— no spin, just action'

Anyone who has ever used a chatbot or coding agent knows where this has come from

starting to suspect why it is dreadful and empty

[-]

Dull_Hawk9416@reddit

Probably the most honest leaflet you’ll ever see

[-]

therealtrumped@reddit

Is Wolverton in west Bletchley? He lives in furzton, worked in kiln farm, running as independant in Wolveron. How is he fighting for west bletchley?

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

Nope, Wolverton is literally at the opposite end of MK

I have no idea, GPT I suspect tbh

[-]

SquashyDisco@reddit

This is hilarious in a tragic manner.

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

I genuinely think its to try and get people to notice his... uh... other views

I imagine some very colourful door-doors for this guy if he actually tries trying to explain his views to normal people who don't tolerate that

he has absolutely no issue tying his X presence to this, id just rather not expose people to that hell-site unwillingly

[-]

Isfacetious@reddit

So he is promising to raise council tax and cut services?

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

i honestly have no idea and his X/Twitter is back to back culture war propaganda stuff (and a quite uh... balanced mixture of topics)

I think its just a nothing empty promise thing that hopes people see his X and 'get it' like a lot of these independent runners (electoral commission might not appreciate 'deportation' leaflets etc)

[-]

nuttydogpoo@reddit

Leaflets like this go straight in the bin, to the homeowner….bin, bobs gutters….bin, oooo free pen then the rest in the bin

Don’t hear a thing for years, then come election time they’re begging at my door with leaflets and bib wearers……fuck off

[-]

Savannah_Shimazu@reddit (OP)

completely ignored the obligatory 'do not leave leaflets' sign too
