I believe John Leech also undermined the integrity and neutrality of the police in his campaign. One of his leaflets had an article with a headline "Thanks say Police" It said 'John Leech and the Liberal Democrats fight to get police out from behind desks and onto the streets has received praise from the Greater Manchester Police Authority" In a leter to me this week the Director of the Police Authority, Russell Bernstein, stated "GMPA have not at anytime provided any comment with regards to any of the political parties proposals on policing issues". Which is what you would expect from the police in a democracy. This may not be such a big and horrible lie as the 'Save Christie's' campaign but I think it shows his complete disregard for the truth, and for the standards expected in public life. (P.S. I am a Labour Party member - not that this means I have no right to expect my MP to tell the TRUTH!)
