Social media users have been quick to spot typos on campaign billboards in the wake of the hastily called snap election taking place on 3 June.

One of the Labour Party’s electoral pledges was to provide for students achieving a Masters not to pay income tax for one year, while those graduating with a Doctor of Philosophy – PhD – will not have to pay income tax for two years.

One particular social media user pointed out that, on a Labour Party billboard found at the far end of the Birkirara Bypass (Lija side) is describing a tax exemption for a "diploma of acidity", rather than a Doctor of Philosophy: PhD.
