Well the Socialists clearly don't care about the environment. All of these arrived yesterday.

Ah! Thanks for the reminder Sarah ! I was on the High Road yesterday near Bruce Grove and it really, really annoyed me to see all of those TUSC leaflets littering the pavements. The same happened during the Local elections a couple of years ago (was it that long?) leaflets had been placed under car windscreens which were either removed by car owners or by the wind and they were absolutely all over the place. I complained to my local TUSC candidate at the time and he was truly apologetic so I'm surprised to see this happen again. I'm in tha balance at the moment. Was considering after being a life long labour voter to vote either Green or TUSC. I think this could tip my decision.

Oh yeah, someone was putting leaflets on all of the windscreens as I left for work yesterday. I don't know what was on the leaflets (I don't have a car) but maybe that was them too.

Apologies to Tiverton Road. Our leafleter did in fact cry off so it wasn't done when we thought it was. Should be done before May 7th! (Greens)

We had a leaflet through the postal system yesterday so at least we have received something.

I had a "David Lammy: From Tottenham, for Tottenham" card yesterday. I like that "From Tottenham" bit. His five "I will continue . . ." pledges to me omitted the most obvious: "I will continue to live at a safe distance from Tottenham Constituency, choosing carefully when to cross my cordon sanitaire from West Haringey."
Worse still, I've had two invitations over the past week or so from Paddy Ashdown (whom I used respect greatly) to be part of some sort of LD Donors' Lottery. It seems I carelessly missed out on a recent chance of a Jackpot prize of dining with Paddy and John Cleese (probably waited upon by Manuel from Barcelona). My chance of a consolation prize is a second dinner with Paddy and Hugh (post-Leveson) Grant. The wife complains that I've been disturbing her with my screaming nightmares for several nights running. Paddy Ashdown, I have not held you in such contempt since the day in August 1971 when you arrested John Hume on a civil rights march across Magilligan Strand. Compared with your brown-nosing of effete celebs of yesteryear, I could even forgive your Marine 45-Commando posturings of forty-four years ago.

I had something from David Lammy too, addressed to me by name. I'm not sure how he got my name, as I'm not on the published roll.

Sarah, I'm out-of-date on General Election technicalities. But as I recall, candidates get a free electronic copy of the Register to enable them to contact every elector. Which I see as a basic part of the democratic process.
If your gerbil's toenails are fine and you've no other vital tasks awaiting, then you might want to go down Memory Lane with HoL's search box. Where I suspect you'd find that at every election the true battle lines are between those who complain about not hearing from the Parties and those who object long and loud to hearing from them far too much - or even at all.
It's even harder this time round. Having watched TV and read the websites (formerly known as newspapers) I gather that the only people standing for election are Party Leaders. So I don't criticise Natalie and Nigel for not coming down our street - just yet.
