Today Salad was seen hand delivering election letters to houses across Enfield. A copy of one of the letters is reprinted below:

"To whom it will concern.

My name is SpectacularSalad. Former Serbian freedom fighter and current Secretary of State for Business, Industry and Trade.

In this election you may ask, why should I vote Salad. The answer is that in the time you have been distracted by this letter I have placed a Russian made MON-50 anti personnel landmine in your home. Once I am elected the MP for North and West London, I will let you know where!

You may have noticed a relatively limited output of legislation from my department in this term. This is because I have spent most of my time these last four months in the Donbas collecting these wonderful devices. I have personally killed 17 Russian conscripts and have demined well over 10 square kilometers while gathering supplies for this election campaign.

The MON-50 is a fragmentation mine. Unlike a blast type mine these weapons are intended to project fragments of metal across a wide area when detonating, ensuring that not only will the person stepping on the mine be severely injured or killed, but that any partners, friends, children or pets nearby will also be taken out.

The key weakness of these mines is that the high levels of iron typically used for the fragmentation device are easily detected using a metal detector. As such I have scattered a fine residue of iron particulates across your home, which will be sure to add an additional exciting challenge to any demining efforts.

You may note that use of these mines is in breach of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction of 1997, also known as the Ottawa Treaty. To which I say Ottowa Shm-ottowa. I do not respect a country who's culture is entirely based around maple syrup, ice hockey and saying "eh?"

Anyway, I'm running out of paper now, so I'll sign off with a fond adieu.

Yours Fragmentally,
SpectacularSalad

P.S. next term we're doing a Customs Union with the EU, pinkie promise. I got a deal agreed but we ran out of time this term to legislate it."

The Salad campaign have denied any involvement with these letters, and have insisted they are disinformation and fake news.
