The S&M Lib Dem: Shame of councillor pictures of herself on the internet

UK - SOUTH-NORTHANS - A Liberal Democrat local election candidate has left her party red-faced after she posed in fetish gear in provocative pictures which she then posted on the internet.
The semi-naked photographs of Holly-Ann Battye, which show her lying on her back with a ball gag in her mouth and cupping her breasts, appeared this week on the website DeviantArt, under the user name HollyTheWolly.
Other Gothic-themed shots of the candidate for the South Northants Council ward of Cosgrove and Grafton, are disturbingly captioned 'I kill', 'Voodoo' and 'Make It Bleed'.
In several images Miss Battye is seen with blood dripping from her lips or pouting at the camera.
The photographs emerged just two weeks before the country is due to go to the polls in the local elections on May 5.
Miss Battye, who has defended her ‘artwork’, claims it is being used against her as part of a personal attack on her character by political opponents.
‘I find it reprehensible that narrow-minded local Tories would seek to stifle proper political debate on their inadequate record while running SNC,’ she said
‘By deflecting people from the real issues they are trying to hide their failure to deliver decent services while spending money on grand new offices for themselves.
‘My artwork has nothing to do with this campaign but this slur has everything to do with the Tories feeling threatened.
‘I suppose they would prefer it if there was no democracy and only Tory candidates could stand, like in many of the seats across this ‘rotten borough’ they have created.’
But Conservative candidate Ian McCord, who is standing against Miss Battye, dismissed her remarks.
‘The Lib Dem candidate shows the dangers of social media websites, but it is irrelevant,’ he said.
‘This election is about policy and the direction of the council in the next few years.
'I have not heard a single alternative policy idea, nothing on the level of the Council Tax, planning, re-generation of our towns, or making this district one of the best places to live in the country.
‘I look forward to debating these issues.’
Jane Hollis, chairman of the South Northants Lib Dems who is standing in the Castle ward in Northampton, stood by her candidate.
‘At the end of the day she is an artist and she sells images as a business,’ she said.
‘She is young and what I want to see is a refreshing change to all the elderly Tories sat on the SNC council.’
