Stephen Hopkins

The Labour spin machine is rolling the dice and blowing the cash by hiring Stephen Hopkins, director of the TV (s)hit show “24″, to create a series of, “slightly sinister, fairytale-ish”, broadcasts designed to frighten the electorate out of voting Conservative in the coming election.

Mark Sweney in the Guardian reports, “The broadcast will attempt to shift the focus towards policy and away from personality, in line with Labour’s attempt to refocus election coverage away from the televised debates.”

Yes, you read that correctly, Labour will be engaging in fiction and focusing on another party’s policies as a scare tactic rather than taking its own record and manifesto to the British people. Yawn, change the record (if only).

And they would rather you didn’t look too closely at the motley crew whose names they are asking you to put your mark against on May 6th.
