Taking a break

April 16th, 2006 · 5 Comments · Politics

Apparently there was a lot of activity today, with us and the Tories both bringing in reinforcements to flood Ifield.
I was sort of taking a break from all that: I was out delivering my election addresses in Pound Hill North.  It was just me and Frankie today, as I don't really want to divert any [...]

Saturdays don’t get much better

April 16th, 2006 · No Comments · Life

All-in-all it was one of the best Saturdays I can remember:

Lots of positive feedback from canvassing
West Ham and Crawley Town both winning (and Portsmouth possibly saving themselves from the drop too)
A couple of bargains from HMV
Ham, Egg & Chips at the cafe in town
A new series of Dr Who starting
Much amusement at discovering my cat [...]

Next year will be different

April 16th, 2006 · No Comments · Politics

Next year, whatever happens, there will be no elections in Broadfield – North or South.  We are looking forward to that immensely.  Of course we will still be going out knocking on doors and delivering literature for other wards, but there will be one big difference….
Our house, and the boot of our car will not [...]

On the campaign trail

April 16th, 2006 · No Comments · Politics

Up in Broadfield, we did some more canvassing this morning, but it was a bit strange. We were canvassing the street where Jayne and I live and I always feel more uncomfortable asking people I know about their voting habits than total strangers.  I think it was all very positive, and if nothing else we [...]

Junior Gong

April 16th, 2006 · No Comments · Music

After we finished our canvassing today I went into town to buy a new toilet seat – so at least one seat in Crawley will now be safe.
I tried to avoid walking past HMV at all so I would not be tempted in, but we ended up going that way and I got lured through [...]

What is the Euston Manifesto for?

April 16th, 2006 · 18 Comments · Politics

When I heard about the Euston Manifesto I admit I was predicated to look kindly on it as a couple of the people involved are bloggers I have read online for a while, and have met a couple of times.
Having skimmed the document itself on their website, I find that I can’t really disagree with [...]
