Grown-up politics? CCTV shows ‘resurgent’ Lib Dem canvassers stealing other parties’ leaflets
Is this the “grown-up” politics Layla Moran was crowing about on the BBC election coverage?
Is it the reason the Liberal Democrats have gained 397 seats in the 2019 local government elections – cheating?

Of course, there’s a big problem with this behaviour:

But then, perhaps we should not be surprised at this behaviour from the Liberal Democrats, in the light of this point by Dave Barlow:
well yellow tory @vincecable stole the Royal mail and sold it to his tory mates so a couple of leaflets shouldn't worry them

Fair point!
UPDATE: I’m told the Lib Dem candidate in the first clip won the seat. Who said cheats never prosper?

It’s a criminal offence, it’s called stealing. It should be grounds for a prosecution. We tell all our leafletters to push material fully in through the letterbox because so many people think this theft is acceptable but it looks like the culprit in the video is committing a trespass as well. Be interesting to see if anyone reports this to the police.
Wearing a yellow and black rosette doesn’t make one a Lib Dem canvasser, or supporter, these rosettes can be purchased online very easily.
