our polling station being moved from the school hall to a small room at the side of the school. There were queues at the quiet time I picked to vote and apparently it was pandemonium earlier when it was busy. You have 3 people sat at the table issuing ballot papers and it was taking them nearly a minute to check ID and issue each one which is worrying as that polling station handles approximately 8 to 10 thousand voters. If the turnout isn't the lowest in post war history some people may not get to vote if they leave it till this evening.

IT WAS HERE.

You do know that the rule is that if you are in the queue to vote at 22.00 you are still able to vote. you just can't join the queue.

My biggest gripe was not having a candidate from the party I preferred to vote for.

I suppose the answer would have been to put myself forward, but I would sooner saw off my gonads than attempt to be an MP.

Ed *^$*&"! Milliband

he's been in the job less than a week and now rubber stamped the destruction of 1100 acres of prime farmland without even reading the hundred plus pages of arguments against to shove one of Europes biggest solar farm into an area where it's not wanted.

It's not like Britains got vast amounts of sunshine so why cover the countryside in solar panels ?

This thing will be over 4 miles long :sad:

because tv companies think we want people discussing football who are "newsworthy" rather than actually know what they are talking about
