This whole election process is exhausting, even from the fringes. It must be horrendous for people in the thick of it.

Weirdly it's actually much less stressful getting directly involved and talking to voters face-to-face rather than staying online and reading endless melty hot takes. Being on the fringes of this election is probably the absolute worst place to be tbh. Also you're spending time doing it with positive Labour people, which is a huge morale booster.

So I followed the link in that medium article to https://www.boris-johnson.com and clicked around some random pages, pleased to immediately see an article called "So what's wrong with clubbing seals?" at https://www.boris-johnson.com/2004/04/14/so-whats-wrong-with-clubbing-seals/

This seems like a goldmine.

I saw that there was someone that had taken a photo of a couple of ballots, what is the legality of that?

Taking a photo of your ballot breaks the general legal concept of the secret ballot and is specifically a way for someone who is being coerced into voting a certain way to prove they have done so. Same basic concept as not allowing you to take your ballot paper out of the polling station or have anyone in the booth with you - every election there's a local press story somewhere about KILLJOY officials FORCING a parent to not let their kid make the mark for them.

He could probably club a seal on live TV and it wouldn't make much difference to his reputation.

Nah, the more awful things come out about Boris, the more people will decide he smells too bad for them to hold their noses and vote Tory. Sure, the fanatics still will, but the rest of the Tory voter base are getting badly demoralised ;)

I found the full Boris Seal Clubbing defence on the Internet Archive (the Telegraph appear to have deleted it)

https://web.archive.org/web/20050311013601/http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2004/04/15/do1502.xml

quote:

"You could find what looks like a more humane way of bumping off the seals, such as shooting them. The trouble is that this method is barely more humane than clubbing, and the gunshot lead is expensive and not environmentally friendly.

And surely it makes sense, given how poor these fishermen are, to prevent the pelts from being torn apart by bullets.

UCU strike day 3 report: Someone brought our picket some fairy cakes :unsmith:

Quiet at our building today as most staff are opting to stay home, whether they're striking or not. I would place about 50% of this being due to the weather though (our building's a fair walk from anywhere commutable).

Feel like I'm getting better at the upsell: this is more than pensions, this about equality, workload, and security etc... & have people 'thinking about' joining the union. I guess I have a week to see whether that materialises.
