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?

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.

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 :)
