Chatham and Aylesford prospective MP Tracey Crouch's campaign poster vandalised with rude graffiti

A Conservative candidate has seen the funny side after one of her campaign posters was defaced with rude graffiti.
Chatham and Aylesford hopeful Tracey Crouch was passed an email informing her that a "small gentleman's part" had been daubed on a picture of her forehead.
Ms Crouch, who has served as the constituency's MP for the past five years, is the latest in a long line of politicians to have their signs targeted by vandals.
She shared the email with her 10,000 followers on Twitter this morning, with the message: "'A small gentleman's part' LOL!!!!!!"
The coy emailer writes: "I do hope you will forgive this embarrassing email and be assured it is just as embarrassing for me to write and send as for you to receive.
"The lovely poster of Tracey Crouch in my neighbour's garden has been slightly defaced with the addition of a small gentleman's part drawn upon her forehead.
"A sad sign of the times. I did try to remove it with a dampened handkerchief but it wouldn't budge.
"Maybe one of your helpers could clean it off or replace it as it is near a local church and may cause offence to passing Christian people, not to mention the bad example it will set for the boys at Chatham Grammar School who use this road as a cut through."
Earlier this month, Hitler-style moustaches were drawn on the campaign posters of Tory candidates Gordon Henderson, for Sittingbourne and Sheppey, and Damian Collins of Folkestone and Hythe.
