Labour has accused the Conservatives of spreading propaganda in schools by distributing campaign material under the guise of an educational “citizenship and democracy pack”.

A “Conservative campaign toolkit” sent to Tory councillors and candidates for the 2014 local elections contains a brochure about “the political process and the Conservative party”.

Candidates are instructed to distribute the pack around schools and colleges, but Labour said it contained overtly partisan content that could be in breach of rules about political bias in education.

The pack includes a statement from the Conservative Minister for Sport, Helen Grant, in which she says: “What is the most important thing the Conservative Party has accomplished whilst in government? Dealing with the legacy of immense financial mess from the previous government is our most important task.”

Yet another example of the state attempting to influence school children into the doctrine of Toryism. What a bunch of chancers this lot are in the way that it is straight out of the methods used by countries like North Korea. Influence the population by catching them young.
