Have you seen this man?

It’s 10 days until the local elections, and you’d be justified in asking – where’s Nick Clegg? Have you seen him?

You probably won’t find him on many Lib Dem leaflets.

Particularly remarkable is this leaflet from Clegg’s own constituency of Sheffield Hallam:

Lib Dem leaflets attacking Labour on the cuts and suggesting that a Labour candidate has “gone missing” whilst hiding the DPM who is their own MP? They’ve got chutzpah – it’s almost as brazen as the classic “Clegg delivers on promises”.

Those aren’t the only Clegg-cleansed leaflets though. There’s this one and this one (in a fetching red). This one doesn’t even have the Lib Dem logo. And that’s just for starters. We didn’t have to look very hard. And did you spot the pattern?

They’re all from Clegg’s city of Sheffield.

You can really feel the local pride can’t you?

If you’re getting leaflets from undercover Lib Dems, or seeing Lib Dem leaflets curiously lacking in Nick Clegg, send them to us, and we’ll post the best examples. He can dodge the leaflets, but he can’t dodge the judgement of the electorate.
