Voted by post last week. The thought of running the gauntlet of activists, pollsters and candidates down at the village hall isn't my idea of fun. An old man, wearing his medals, a few years ago was arrested for whacking the BNP candidate over the head with his walking stick whilst walking out of the polling station last time round. I keep saying I am not political but my mate and I paid his fine and costs for him. The chairman of the bench who fined him, despite everybody expected it to be bound over to keep the peace was my neighbour. Strange old world. My neighbour has a UKIP sticker in his car window. Needless to say, the local newspaper has been tipped off about a magistrate supporting UKIP. His freedom to support who he likes goes well with the newspaper's view that it might be in the public interest to mention it. Yeah, enjoying this election.
