Old election posters, leaflets, etc

Yeah, 1964 was not a good year for that type of thing. Or a very good year, if your perspective is somewhat different.

I was going to say Smethwick, but it turns out from the link it isn't.  Nasty.

I don't think Griffiths actually used his charming jingle on leaflets; it was mostly spread door-to-door by canvassers and by groups of children. The disappearance of children from the election process isn't something that gets noted a lot, but is quite interesting.

[Хahar 🤔]

Children? "Nasty" is indeed the right word.

?? The Conservatives were in office on 1964, and when has there been a Ministry of Repatriation? I think the attribution is incorrect.

But what reason would anyone have to run a false-flag operation on that issue in Lambeth in 1964? No votes in implying your opponents were racist back then, well, not in areas that had seen large-scale immigration anyway. There's an obvious spelling error in it as well, so it was presumably just a local group. Though maybe they got the date wrong.

Sorry, I meant it might be a different year when the Conservatives were in opposition, and/or a different place. I have it on authority from a friend who knows Lambeth well that Labour would've raised hell if anything like that had gone out, i.e. effectively that there would have been votes in it, from the new immigrants.

On the similar topic of Smethwick, has anyone ever seen a copy of the leaflets that are meant to have used the n-word?

No, but then he probably never put the slogan in his leaflets. It seems to have been spread by word of mouth, which was what all the parties in Birmingham and the Black Country did at the time when they went really negative; apparently the Birmingham Liberals were particularly skilled at it.

Given what "gehören" sounds like in English, this was so much more interesting before I bothered to get this translated to find out what it really said.

Uh... I'm very ready to, er, assist her.

Okay, so Austrian election posters are racist and they like accuse each other of being Nazis and Communists incessantly, if that's a fair sample . . .

[minionofmidas]

I think over half of these are spoofs.

The spooky part is that a couple of these look like spoofs but are apparently real. ("Daham statt Islam", for one. Also, presumably the two stupidly sexist ones.)

Talking of Austrian politics, we were lied to. Haider is still alive, though now living in England under a false name:

Think that's a bit unfair on Hull though.

Well not the whole word, but (w)"höre" does seem appropriate to the image.

And what the ad is meaning.
