Think Again Labour HR Department

It was around this time last year that Boris Johnson was being condemned across the political spectrum for telling the House of Commons that Starmer had failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile when he was director of public prosecutions.
The Labour Party said Johnson and the Conservatives should conduct themselves with some decorum and how they didn’t want to see us go down the route that this potentially takes us down' although that moral high-horse they clambered upon must seem pretty low down now as Labour unveiled an advertisment which paints Rishi Sunak as a friend and protector of pedophiles.  
The advert states: 'Do you think adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison? Rishi Sunak doesn’t. Under the Tories, 4,500 adults convicted of assaulting children under 16 served no prison time. Labour will lock up dangerous child abusers.'
The ad has quite rightly drawn condemnation from across the political spectrum and rather than withdrawing it and smackign arouf the head whichever of the brains trust in tbeir PR Department thought it was a glood idea, they have been out defending it and the shadow culture secretary, Lucy Powell, was on BBC Breakfast admitting that the advert 'might not be to everybody’s taste' but 'that is the sort of cut-and-thrust nature of politics'.
If the main thrust of your image is that the Conservative are morally degenerate and decency and truth-telling in politics matter, sinking to the same level as Boris Johnson is not a brilliant political tactic, it's simply sinking to the same level and that's not a very good look.
