People will have to judge that for themselves.

However it does speak volumes about the mindset of the people behind
this campaign, and the sort of tactics they are prepared to employ to
make their case.

You know, I live in Greater Manchester, I received one of those leaflets through my letterbox, I'm basically supportive of the idea of congestion charging provided that the current (lousy) public transport systems here get a thorough overhaul first, and I took those examples for what they were: illustrated examples. I don't really care whether or not the people pictured are "real". In fact, in a piece of advertising - which is what this is - I pretty much assume they *aren't* unless I'm told otherwise.

That "scandal" was a lot of fuss and whining about nothing.
