Sex it up, baby!
Forget the sexing up of official documents - last night I had a phone call from a very embarassed Giles at the Oxford Mail wanting to know if I had “sexed up” the photograph of me that appears on all my leaflets, business cards, and all my other election materials. It turns out that they had received an anonymous letter claiming that I was a dab hand with photoshop and had deliberately altered the photo! Oh, the joys of being a candidate…
And the answer is no, by the way - the photo in question was taken by the lovely Jane Tomlinson - one of the only people apart from Jo who takes photos of me I actually like.
Though it does make me laugh that while the rest of the country is concerned about education, health, the economy, jobs, the environment, housing, public transport, international development, my photo is the biggest issue for A.N. Onymous.
