A PLAID Cymru candidate has been slammed by opponents over a campaign billboard targeting the Conservatives. Carrie Harper, who is standing for the party in Wrexham, shared a video on Twitter last night of a digital advert displayed opposite the town’s main railway station which read: “Don’t want a Tory for a neighbour? Vote Plaid, not Labour.” The post was later deleted after it was widely condemned by other parties due to its similarity to a notorious racist slogan used in Smethwick in the West Midlands during the 1964 General Election. Welsh Labour said: “Either Plaid are naive and don’t know what this sounds like or it’s a dogwhistle and they don’t care. Riffs on Smethwick 1964 slogans should stay in the past.”
