Calling Baldrick

Apparently the black writer of good natured doggerel, Benjamin Zephaniah, was airbrushed out of leaflets distributed by the pro-AV lobby and Baldrick  photo-shopped in, instead. This was for leaflets which were distributed outside London; the ones in London showed Zephaniah alongside a bunch of similarly minded pseudo slebs. The implication is that people outside London would have taken one look at Zephaniah and decided to vote for first past the post. I can’t work out if this because of the inherent racism of the metro faux leftie tossers of the AV campaign, or the inherent racism of people living outside London. Even more puzzling is the notion that anyone would be persuaded to do anything at all upon the advice of bloody Baldrick, or would wish to be associated with a campaign of which he was a member.
