The Labour party have form in this area, during the 2005 General Election my the opponent Bridget Prentice sent a letter to local pensioners completely misrepresenting Conservative policy on Winter fuel allowance in order to scare them. This strikes me as a grotesque extension of that tactic.
If you're as disturbed by Labour's crass attempt to manipulate people like this visit http://www.stopthescaremongering.com/ and let Andy Burnham know how you feel.

I think your party are on pretty shaky ground on this James, especially in London:

Adam,
I don't remember Boris posting that out to families of murder victims.
I'm shocked that you can't tell the difference.
What is the difference then exactly?
I was handed this leaflet whilst walking the streets of London. You could therefore argue that it was deliberately targeted to scare people walking the streets into voting for Boris.
Like the Labour leaflets and cancer victims now, there was a good chance that somebody affected by knife crime then would have been handed one of Boris's leaflets.
How is Labour's effort any worse?
