HILTON and Barclay go on about creating jobs - so how come their glossy expensive leaflets aren't printed in our district? The Greens (and I think also the Lib-Dems?) are able to get good service from a local company (and on recycled paper!), so I can't guess at what reasons the how-many-photos-of me-can-I fit-in-my-leaflet lads have for bringing in truckloads of shiny stuff from afar. Mind you, a lot of their material isn't even written locally but has been left to distant spin doctors to concoct - so much for their local politics!
