Aye, The Greens have safely got my vote. The man is the scourge of london commuters. Oh, there's a tube strike next Tuesday, YAY.

Crowe's getting to the stage where I expect him to start turning up on 'celebrity' programmes.

All the more reason for folks to use their vote then, Verbal. To keep both the BNP and that absolute 4uckwit out.
Good reasons to vote, both....

I went this morning. Empty. Dead. And that was just me - polling station was quiet, though.

But it was important. To vote against the Nazis. To vote against the current government. And to vote against the Tories.

Leaves you with a very limited number of buckets to spit in. Particularly if you want to try to vote for someone who is at least half-way sensible.

Unfortuneately Libertas didn't put cansdidates up in Wales ... so took the only other option.

I considered voting for the Roman Party.

I assume they were putting forward a manifesto containing a promise to bring better sanitation, medicine, education, irrigation, public health, roads, fresh water, baths, public order and peace - but as I didn't get a leaflet from them I'm not sure.

Can't quite make my mind up about this story - I can see the point sort of, but feck sake, if people can't fold a form out should they be entitled to vote?

None of the above - It's leader is Abramovich, he's looking to fund Chelsea's transfers through the MEP expenses system.

Move.
I have a better solution. I am only about 4 miles in from the border in an area which is very 'Cheshire'. I have plans to start a "move us into England" group.

BNP win council seat in Lancashire, and another one in Norfolk. A helluva lot more results to come.
