Subject: RE: BS: MARGINALS: We're winning (UK)
I went today without realising I had my red glasses on. The person outside wanted my voting number - WHY?

I said to her "are you an official" and with her negative reply I asked her why she wanted to know. On seeing the Blue rosette I pointed out that my glasses where not to be read as anything other than a pair of glasses worn by a poser. What arrogance to have people clocking yer number. They have all that inside, and it's official, and the politcal parties don't get an automatic sniff of that data.

I walked past two other polling stations (And there may be one near the Folk Club I am going to) just to wind them up on there own assumptions.

As one PM put it when asked how he managed to vote "I just hold my nose and mark the paper"

FWIW I never espouse any political party, regardles of my voting preferrence. Red is sartorial and long may it be so,
