Thanks for the link,

Sheer incompetence by a quango then?

[Gromit]

Quango? What Quango would that be?

Nothing to say about the re-election of the Mayor?

[mushroom25]

the electorate clearly don't believe the whiff of scandal perpetrated about their mayor by the labour party.

Somewhere has to be the last to come in

AOG you are obviously a telepath...

The Beeb had a bit about this where the Returning Officer for TH was interviewed and a proper anglo-sxon insisted that HE hadnt noticed anything untoward. Tue 1600 R4

' There was voting propaganda in the cubicles - is that true ? ' asked the Beeb boy aggressively and the R O gave the fateful oopsy reply of:

'I am not aware of that, there were none when I inspected.'

Hmm - no sign of 'of course not dont be stupid.'

We ( the Beeb, the boy said ) have rung the Electoral Commission and they have said they are very concerned - well they havent shared that with me, said the R O

So I am not surprised TH was the last to come in....
