This is my local area, this by election is a right mess, I think there’s something like 17 people on the ballot, including George galloway, not sure how normal it is to have that many?

Quite normal for a high profile election where there's going to be loads of press at the count. Here's my local one at the last election.

What an absolute shambles that there was a muppet* standing - quite like Elmo though ;-)


I wish Buckethead/binface was standing in Batley & Spen theyd get my vote for sure.

• for the pedants, I know Elmo was in Seseme Street and not the Muppets, i was using artistic license to aid the joke ;-)

"Labour activists in the Batley and Spen byelection have been pelted with eggs and kicked in the head while on the campaign trail, the region’s mayor has said."


Also from that article

"Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – also known as Tommy Robinson – was reported to be visiting the seat for a rally on Saturday, prompting counter-demonstrations."

article then states (thankfully...)

"But Yaxley-Lennon did not turn up"
