Guildford Lib Dems - selective with the truth?

The Lib Dems seem inherently programmed to ignore the truth, perhaps this is the result of having a campaign manual that says:

‘Be wicked, act shamelessly, stir endlessly’ (p.21)
‘Don't be afraid to exaggerate. For example, responses to surveys or petitions are always "massive". If a council is doing something badly, public expressions are always of "outrage".’ (p.23)
‘Positive campaigning will NOT be enough to win control of the council’

So now we turn to their summary of last week's local election results in Guildford. The news item on their website says,"The Liberal Democrats' success in last week's elections to Guildford Borough Council, when they made a net gain of two seats, has strengthened their resolve to hold the ruling Conservative group to account on the waste of tax-payers' money and the fight against climate change. The Conservatives made a net gain of just one, taking the seat formerly held by an Independent. The Lib Dems took both Stoke seats from Labour with convincing majorities, and gained two seats from the Conservatives in Onslow and Burpham. The Lib Dems missed taking the third seat in Holy Trinity by just 27 votes."

What they didn't mention is that they also lost two seats in Merrow and Christchurch to the Conservatives. But I guess its more fun to forget those and celebrate easy wins agains a very weakened Guildford Labour Party which is polling under 10% in most wards.

And now for a graph (in the style of Lib Dems of course).
