Description:Independent candidate Norman Tiptaft here invites the voters to attend a rally at Canterbury Road Schools. Tiptaft had been a councillor for Handsworth since 1919, which he hoped might give him an advantage over his opponent Oliver Locker-Lampson, who had been selected as the Conservative candidate to replace their retiring MP.

The "Current situation" is now generally condensed to be the economic slump in the UK that had taken place.
