Dirty tricks reach new low as fire brigade and police called to Lib Dem HQ September 28, 2004
Posted by in : News , trackbackThe dirty tricks that have marred the campaign to become the next Member of Parliament for Hartlepool reached a new low when the police and fire brigade had to be called in the early hours of the morning.
Expanding polystyrene was sprayed down the length of the front doors and the double doors then chained shut making exit from inside impossible – although staff were still working at the time (approximately 3am).
Agent Richard Pinnock said: “This was an extremely stupid and dangerous stunt. I still had staff working in the back offices when this took place. Had there been a serious incident they would not have been able to made an exit via the front doors.
“We are grateful for the police and fire brigade but regret that they have to be called out because of stupidity and vandalism like this. Obviously this attack was politically motivated – I just hope that this is the last of these silly stunts.
“The people of Hartlepool are bored and fed up with this sort of thing – people want an honest debate about the issues.”
