Liverpool Lib Dem councillor Steve Hurst has failed in his appeal to overturn a conviction for breaking election law. Today judge Mark Brown said: "This sort of conduct brings considerable discredit on his party and local politicians in general, at a time when politicians are under the spotlight as never before. "This was dirty tactics of the worst kind." Hurst was convicted of delivering a leaflet titled "Walton Scab," attacking sitting Labour councillor Pauline Walton and her firefighter husband Keith in December. Masquerading as a leaflet from The United Socialist Party (TUSP), the pink flier accused Mr Walton of crossing a Fire Brigades Union picket line during a strike. Mrs Walton was accused of leaving council meetings early to learn lap dancing. The Wavertree councillor also stood down from his position on Liverpool's ruling executive board. author: Steve | 04/09/09 22:34 | comments
