text: Two Ukip council candidates have been taken to school by a teacher who covered their sloppy election leaflet in corrections - but they claim it is a dirty tricks campaign. Suzy Howlett, 54, who specialises in teaching foreign-born children English, has embarrassed husband and wife team Derek Tanswell and Sharon Snook over their spelling, punctuation and grammar. In one section Mr Tanswell and Ms Snook promise that Ukip will 'take back control of our boarders' - so the teacher wrote in red: 'I think you mean borders, not residents of a school or guest house'. Scroll down for video . Back to school: A teacher has taken her red pen to an error-strewn Ukip leaflet that landed on her doormat . Back to basics: The teacher picked up on the use of boarders and wrote: 'I think you mean borders, not residents of a school or guest house' In their leaflet the councillors  also tell prospective voters: 'If you vote Ukip your get Ukip' - so the marker wrote: 'You'll?'. One handwritten note about the leaflet's opening paragraph says: 'This 'sentence' is long and obscure. It needs some punctuation if it is to make sense'. The Ukip candidates, from Frome, Somerset, defected to Nigel Farage's party two weeks ago and hope to be re-elected in May, having left the Lib Dems to improve their chances. Expert: Suzy Howlett, 54, who specialises in teaching foreign-born children English, took her red pen to the leaflet and sent it to her children . Mr Tanswell today said his former party have 'hacked' his emails for information to create a slapdash  leaflet to scupper their election hopes, and has called in police. However,  a party source has suggested the leaflet is genuine. He said: 'They had to rewrite everything and it looks like they didn't have time to spell check it.' Mrs Howlett, a specialist teacher with 32 years' experience, told MailOnline she enjoyed a 'happy two minutes' correcting their work. Using a red pen she highlighted the incorrect use of words, lack of apostrophes, flabby language, poor spellings and use of Americanisms. Their error-strewn Ukip leaflet has been shared thousands of times online. Mrs Howlett said: 'I marked it during a happy two minutes last night. 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. 'I teach children who speak English as an additional language and advise other teachers about how to help them. There is no shame in having difficulties with spelling, punctuation and grammar. Some of my nearest and dearest have a few issues at times, and I am certainly not poking fun at dyslexia. 'But what I am saying is that there is a problem when people don't recognise their own shortcomings. 'I have not met the candidates, but the leaflet suggests that if you can't check something like this properly, how can you run something properly if you were to be elected. 'I am most certainly not going to vote Ukip, absolutely not, but I will not say who I will be voting for. 'I won't discuss (Ukip) policies, I will just say that the children I work with are a delight, and some of them could teach Mr Tanswell a thing or two about apostrophes'. Election campaign: Derek Tanswell and Sharon Snook, left and right,  defected to Nigel Farage's party two weeks ago and hope to be re-elected in May . Hint: This bullet point lacks the necessary apostrophe in one of more than 20 corrections . Lost in translation: A key section to persuade voters to back them next month also backfired . Changes: Mrs Hewlett suggested in her red notes 'try not to keep using apostrophes for plurals' A picture of the annotated leaflet has spread across the internet after it was posted on Reddit by a user who said a mother of a friend had marked it after finding it on her doormat. The leaflet also boasted about Snook and Tanswell's campaigning which led to the creation of ten free parking spaces at the local Cattle Market car park. Mr. Tanswell says the Liberal Democrats have put out the leaflet to 'stitch him up'. He said 'They have been hacking into my emails, the Liberal Democrats. They've hacked it all and I have the police looking at it now. 'It's the Liberal Democrats who are doing it all. They've hacked into my emails, they've basically got hold my stuff, they are producing it, they are sending it out, they are doing everything they can. 'I'm receiving about 20, 30 phone calls before 12 o'clock today threatening to kill me. The police are on to all of that'. Mr. Tanswell, 48, who runs a plumbing and heating company, added: 'I used to be a Liberal Democrat councillor. 'About a month ago, I left the Liberal Democrats to go UKIP and obviously a lot of them don't like it, so they are producing stuff like [the flyer] and putting it out and putting my name to it. 'I spoke to the police this morning. They are worried about it because people are making threats to kill me and stuff. Supportive: Mrs Howlett says she was not poking fun, adding: 'There is no shame in having difficulties with spelling, punctuation and grammar' 'They believe the propaganda from the national parties, like the Liberal party are saying that UKIP are racist. That's not true. They don't like it. 'I was a Liberal Democrat councillor and I've gone to UKIP - they don't like that. These people are very vindictive. 'I don't know who the death threats are coming from but the police are investigating it now. 'The Liberal Democrats have put all that s*** out about me. They've stuck a load of stuff on my Facebook, they hacked into that.' A Liberal Democrat spokesman said this afternoon: ‘The idea that the Liberal Democrats had anything to do with Cllr Tanswell’s absurd allegations is categorically untrue. 'Liberal Democrats take the accusation that the party was involved in illegal activity such as the hacking of emails seriously, and the local party is exploring its options.’ Mrs Howlett asked MailOnline to include a link to the charity Against Malaria, recommended by the charity Effective Altruism, which her son George, 24, volunteers for.
