“Prats keep on sticking unwanted flyers through door!” is the feedback South West Devon’s Labour Parliamentary candidate Luke Pollard received in one of his lasted batch of flyers.
The innocent enough question “What’s the problem on your street?” got the response that could very much reflect the level of attempted political engagement in the town.
Noted for his zeal, we’re expecting Luke to be right on it with a video campaign and public meeting about these unwanted flyers…

All my leaflets have a freepost return form on them so if people don’t want to get them anymore they just need to let me know. The problem with this leaflet is I don’t know which home it was delivered to so they’re bound to get another leaflet in due course! If people don’t want to return the surveys on my leaflets if they can put them in the recycling bin not the waste bin that will be good
Thanks! Luke

All junk mail sould be sent as an opt in system, rather then an opt out system after the fact – which never tends to work any way. When in this country are we going to get the right not to have random junk stuffed through the letter box. At lest with e-mail I can filter the trash out.

I think this is very funny. But in all fairness, if you take the time to talk and listen to Luke you’ll find he really isn’t a prat. It was only thanks to his campaigning that I found out that Viridor were about to put in planning permission for the incinerator at Lee Mill (less than 2 miles from my home), as a result of which I set up the ecoivy website and we are now holding a public meeting about the issue this Saturday. If it wasn’t for him and his leaflets, this whole thing would likely have slipped through without the majority of Ivybridge residents being aware about the issue until it was too late to raise an objection. The real prats are the ones that keep themselves to themselves whilst the world falls apart right on their doorstep – and then moan the loudest when it is too late to change a thing. Luke, your leaflets are welcome in our letterbox anytime!
