Tory mayor race ad shows New York instead of London

The rhetoric is also, perhaps, just the teensiest weensiest overdone:

"The video also warned of "squads of Ulez-enforcers dressed in black, faces covered with masks, terrorising communities at the beck and call of their Labour mayor master, who has implemented a tax on driving, forcing people to stay inside or go underground"."

I'm reminded of the Birmingham council leaflet of a few years ago that was illustrated with a photo of the skyline of Birmingham, Alabama.
"That bloke over there, out of Ultravox, is really childish."
"Him? Midge Ure?"
"Yes, very."

I think the ad might have been modelled on this.
