"Labour behaving like Bullies" Marr

BBC Political Editor Andrew Marr said Labour were "behaving like bullies"

Ashford Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Chris Took has given a ringing endorsement of BBC Political Editor Andrew Marr's latest news report.

In the report, broadcast on Tuesday night, Marr described Labour politicians of "behaving like bullies" in their anxiousness to ensure that people do not "drift" to other parties.

Commenting Chris Took said "The electorate of Ashford and the electorate of the UK as a whole are put off by politicians telling them what to think. The Tory campaign describing the PM as a liar and recent Labour pronouncements that a vote for anyone other than Labour will let in the Tories leave a sour taste in the mouth."

"On Thursday I hope the people vote for a positive message and a positive alternative, I believe that is the Liberal Democrats and it is my hope that the people agree with me."
