Newham Conservatives deliver "sectarian" leaflet

London Borough of Newham Conservatives have delivered a "sectarian" leaflet targeting the Muslim vote.

The leaflet features a mosque watermark and is translated into Urdu, Gujarati and Bengali. It gives 10 reasons why Muslims in Newham should vote Conservative, including free parking during Friday prayers and taking religious beliefs and needs into account when making planning decisions.

Only 16.7% of Newham residents are white British and residents are seeing this less "appealing tot he Muslim community" as the local Tory agent puts it and more a divisive and sectarian bribe.
