Who lives in a county of shame? I do.
Lancashire, Hertfordshire and Leicestershire all gained a BNP councillor.

Me
I'm cross with Burnley for letting the side down. I expect we'll get Nick Griffin as an MEP too.

coming over here, stealing our constituencies

Technically, no. Ceremonially, yes.
Mind you, it was Burnley after all. An equal mix between Asian and thick white british people. I'm surprised it hadn't happened earlier to be honest.

It's a funny situation now,
there are all these people voting BNP, who aren't really racist, they're doing it as some sort of protest.

You're not allowed to talk about politics, remember?

I vote in council elections,
so I'm allowed to talk about this.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sat 6 Jun 2009, 20:45, archived)

No.

Anyway I'm not even expressing an opinion on matters of policy.

NO.

No you.

I overheard someone in the hairdressers admitting they'd voted BNP in the European elections
in the same tone of voice as confessing to eating a naughty slice of chocolate cake while on weightwatchers.

I wanted to ask her whether she was a criminal and a fascist herself or whether she just voted for them.

But I didn't. I tutted in a proper English fashion and pursed my lips.

I shouldn't really talk about the European elections.

Is it a self-imposed silence?

( in vino veritas, Sat 6 Jun 2009, 20:51, archived)

I got into trouble for not voting in them.
Loads of other people didn't either, but it's always me who gets the flack.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sat 6 Jun 2009, 20:55, archived)

It's always a surprise when an intelligent person with opinions doesn't vote
I'd take it as a compliment that you get stick for it :)

Not for the local one (we didn't have to vote this time) but I'd not be surprised at a BNP MEP or more
