As someone said on Radio 4 (I quote) ideas coming from some idiot with too much influence Hmmmmmmm I can think of one candidate. And this time it isn't Vladimir Putin. |

But it of a piece with a great deal of other misrepresentation and propaganda of this campaign. I don't think there has ever been a clean campaign since I started voting, and probably not before, but there is no doubt that that the way social media is being exploited has brought this to a new level. |

Rather than the issues it is used to promulgate. As has been said, a new low level. If all was fair, then the country will have their say. Or did I mean backlash? |

We both have postal votes, and they are both safely away to the Cooncil counters. Wouldn't send them in so soon if I was unsure which way to vote, but no contest here! |
