Labour spin resorts to American mud-slinging

Dave the Chameleon - available in any colour (as long as it's blue)

And so, the lowest denominator draws near, as Labour start emplying US-type mud slinging tactics for the local elections campaigns.
Long since reknowned for their spin tactics, Labour has now started leading their election campaign with an effigy, of sorts, of opposition leader, David Cameron, as a chameleon, because of his refusal to outline what his policies actually consist of, just supporting the opposite to what Labour are doing.
Perhaps Labour should concentrate on removing the shit from their doorstep, with numerous scandals unfolding over the past few weeks, such as the Cash-for-honours, Cherie's £8000 (taxpayers money obviously - they didn't want to break a £100,000) haircuts, the multiple-fold NHS layoffs, which they continually brush aside, and numerous calls for the Home secretary, the health secretary, and the education secretary all to quit.
They continued arrogance of B Liar's cabinet is beginning to tell on the grassroot electorate. A very real threat of the BNP taking over several (maybe dozens) councils in next week's election looms large. Unfortunately, because of the Popular press' anti-left bias (the Scum, and Mirror included), not as many as one would like sees the Lib Dems as the real alternative to Labour. And those that do, will probably split the left vote, allowing the Tories in.
Blair's refusal to step down before the last election may have a disastrous long-term effect on the country, as I cannot see Labour winning back the electorate's trust before the next election.
