The Conservatives have deleted an online video that used scenes of a panicked crowd at a New York subway station to criticise Sadiq Khan’s record on crime in London.

The ad, posted on X in support of Tory mayoral candidate Susan Hall showed people panicking and rushing through New York’s Penn station after false reports of gunfire in 2017.

After commentators spotted the video about London showed scenes from New York, it was withdrawn and replaced with a video where those scenes had been cut.

  2. What a load of real TOSH! HOW CAN YOU USE SOMETHING FEOM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND HOW MUCH MONEY DID THE GOVERNMENT WASTE ON THIS GARBAGE

  3. Tory: in government for 14 years

    Tory election ad: our country is in chaos.

    Alright then, we want more of this, cheers.

  10. The updated version is just as foul. It is absolutely unacceptable in a liberal democracy that one of our major parties would resort to such bad faith tactics.

  11. I can’t think of a better metaphor for how the Tories have “well at least we aren’t the U.S.”-ed their way into distracting Brits from domestic issues

  18. The Tories aren't even bothering. They're not even trying.
    And to think they are using monies gained from handing over our taxes to their donors.

  19. Pathetic, this is what you get for letting a deluded government based on lies run amok without scrutiny.
    Right wing press tries to blame individuals, but the party mostly did what the press barons wanted

  21. Gosh, Khan wants to decriminalize something that is currently illegal! Of course Hall will only decriminalize things that are currently legal (and if you give her the power, I bet she'll actually try). BTW, I now live in Canada, where marijuana and derivatives have been widely legally available for some time, and it doesn't seem to have had significant social impact, although it has resulted in quite a lot of storefronts closed due to COVID reopening as legal cannabis outlets.

  22. If it weren’t so ghastly this would be funny. It isn’t of course, but instead it’s as despicable as it is blatant.

  23. Ah so the new definition of "seized power" is "was democratically elected". I look forward to the next edition of the Oxford Dictionary.

  25. This isn't a joke though. I work in London on a daily basis and this could happen anyday. London is lawless, no police to be seen anywhere and people breaking the law on every 2 minutes.

  29. 😂 i swear the Tory's are the worst, remember these are the same people that put 'fact check uk' on Anti labour party tweets. The Conservative party are the biggest spreaders pf misinformation.

  39. I mean London is on the brink of chaos anyway. Not sure why they'd even need to use footage from another country, there's plenty of footage showing what London is becoming.

  40. So I don’t know much about London politics, but whoever made that video, come on, now… you didn’t think people would spot that those were New York scenes??🤣. And wouldn’t it be more compelling if a British sounding person was discussing London🤔😅

  43. How desperate must Hall be, to put out a Gotham horror clip in an attempt to win votes???
    And she had to use an American for the voice-over!! Does she know where London IS?

  45. Well it's true, it's a fact.
    We're a Christian culture but slowly we're being eradicated in favour of immigrants & illegal immigrants culture.
    And all under 14 yrs of a Tory government.
    MADNESS.
    No wonder people are turning to Reform!!

  46. Someone's been watching The Last Leg 🤣Sign at top of scene says Bronx! They really are getting desperate, aren't they! Not doing themselves any favours with this campaign against Sadiq Khan. Second ad is ridiculous too. Bye bye Tories – can't wait!
