Why did I suddenly get a mental image of Terry Thomas sneaking out the back of the church hall with a ballot-box under his arm?

In her part of the world, it'd more likely be Compo.

Ding Dong!

We had a bit of queue (due to social distancing, all efficient enough). We had the two elections (if you count the non-binding referendum on the local plan) explained to us. I would imagine having 4 elections explained might slow it down more. Surprised I haven't heard more about queues elsewhere.

No queues at our station, but constant stream of people. All very smooth.

Virtually deserted here, according to comrades out on the front line. I'm hoping that reflects more on the postal vote uptake than the engagement level of the local voters, but I wouldn't count on it.

Got to vote for our shiny new unitary authority today (North Northamptonshire), formed out of the breakup of our bankrupt county council. The thing is, being a safe Tory area, the same councillors that oversaw the county council are are shoe-in to be elected to the new UA. Anyway, apart from the Tories, Labour, and a single Lib Dem candidate, there was no one else to vote for. Not even any independents. I went Labour but it's a dead cert the Tories will get back in.

London so mayor and the regional positions...

Voted Khan by post via the council hall yesterday.

"Ding Dong" is Leslie Phillips.

Terry Thomas preferred "You're an absolute shower!"

Ding Dong!

At least you're not a bounder, a scoundrel or a lounge-lizard.

I'm happy with any of those

Oh well, at least one little ray of sunshine:

Think yourself lucky Mr Boiler
We The Blue team held Leicestershire with increased seats….over the next few days we will have to suffer the smug cunt that is TAPS Bridgen

Edit: why in holy fuck did I start with “We”?

Sad thing is... that's not my area, but one nearby.

Interesting article. Lib dems make big gains, so they interview....the local Labour leader. Hmm.

Jayda Fransen just got a grand total of 46 votes in Glasgow Southside, versus Sturgeon (19k) and Sarwar (10k).

You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh etc.

(And Sturgeon just referred to her as a "far right thug" in her acceptance speech. I wish some of our candidates on this side of the border would be that blunt.)

I'm waiting for the outcome of Fux v Binface.

This is unacceptable on just about every level.
