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.

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
