The teacher who corrected the Ukip leaflet speaks out

The woman who wielded that red pen so effectively, was 54-year-old teacher Suzy Howlett, and she has spoken to the MailOnline: “I marked it during a happy two minutes last night,” she said.

“I had heard about the leaflet from friends and my husband brought home a copy and straight away I told him I was eager to take a red pen to it.

“The part about borders – or boarders – really made me laugh. I took a picture of my work and my children, Lucy and George, were very amused by it. They posted it to their friends, and it took off.”
