'Tatler Tory' recorded by young activist before his death
This article is from The Telegraph newspaper which is generally a right wing paper that supports the Conservative Party so it's unusual for the writer, David Barrett, to report such a story.
Last month, Elliott Johnson, a Conservative party activist, was found dead on a railway track sent police a secret recording of a confrontation with two other party workers he accused of bullying him. Mark Clarke and Andre Walker, both party activists for the Tories, have been barred from this week’s Conservative conference following the death of 21-year-old Mr Johnson.
This particular story shows the Tory party in a bad light considering the Conservative party have been criticized for not doing enough to investigate claims of bullying.
The picture is particularly eye catching as it portrays Mark Clarke (left) as a typical Tory candidate in a sharp white shirt where as Elliot Johnson is seen as a young, plucky bright eyed hopeful and this furthers idea of bullying as it puts a picture in the minds of the readers.
