Only takes a few minutes of research on the internet or from leaflets you're sent to work out who to vote or not vote for.

We got a BNP leaflet. Racist scum. Was going to write that on the leaflet but couldn't find anything to write with except a pink highlighter and that wouldn't show up.

At the risk of becoming annoying I would again like to urge everyone who is elligible to vote on here, to do so tomorrow. The right to vote is something we are very fortunate to have.

NB The above excludes the 2 BNP supporters that we appear to have acquired, hmm rather disconcerting that.

The most recommended posts on the BBC News 'Have your say' site are people who say the only option is to vote for UKIP. That saddens me.

As I've already voted by post in a different area I'm not sure if I can vote again here. I'll be encouraging my housemate to get down the polling station though.

I've only had a letter sent to me by Gordon, although Mr Cameron sent one each to my mum and dad, and UKIP sent a generic one.

I agree.

Speaking of the BNP we got a leaflet through with a picture of a old street scene with all the people having a photo in the street and the caption 'the way we were. Then there was a picture of Asian women with Burqas on with the caption 'the changing face of Britain'. :shock: I can see a lot of people near me voting for them though :(

Dunno I think UKIP could be an option for some people because people over 52 or something like that are the only people who have ever had a vote for Europe and that was for a trading block.

Personally I think that Europe's a good thing but not as it is now, but I don't see how we can change that. - Possibly through Libertas because thats in all of the EU but i don't think their known enough yet.

But whatever happens its going to be a nail in Gordon browns coffin.

As I'm between houses I'm not registered to vote :(I really hope that hardline parties like UKIP and BNP don't benefit from the current issues public displeasure at the conduct of MPs- just because some members of the big parties have acted out of line doesn't mean they can't offer a good solution in Europe.

Private Eye had some interesting relevations about the nationalities of the people in this BNP leaflet: http://www.thestraightchoice.org/leaflet.php?q=303

Apparently the pensioners are Italian, the builders are from Oregon in the US and the soldier was outraged when he found out his photo had been used. Oh, and the Spitfire is Polish. Just read that the doctor is also an American.

Ive been to the polls! :)

Two observations...

1) Why is the ballot paper so big? It doesn't even half fit on the shelf. And you have to put like four folds in there and not the advertised two.

2) Why is there a gas fire on full blast in there?

I went at lunch time and there was about 5 people voting and loitering in the chamber and about 3 in the lobby. The box seemed to be quite full too because mine sprung out the first time :)

But i think thats because a lot of old people live where I am.

The box was very full where I voted too, was going to be changed after mine :)

I got loads of nasty looks though as I'd just gone in the booth and guess what happens? Someone texted me, so of course 'Oh what's occurring?' rings out :giggle:

the UM poll was off a bit !

pity UKIP didn't get a few more MEP's.

Sweden's Pirate Party has won a seat in the European Parliament.

The group - which campaigned on reformation of copyright and patent law - secured 7.1% of the Swedish vote.

The result puts the Pirate Party in fifth place, behind the Social Democrats, Greens, Liberals and the Moderate Party.

Rickard Falkvinge, the party leader, told the BBC the win was "gigantic" and that they were now negotiating with four different EU Parliamentary groups.

"Last night, we gained political credibility," said Mr Falkvinge.

"People were not taken in by the establishment and we got political trust from the citizens."

The profile of the Pirate Party and issues surrounding copyright law have dominated headlines in Sweden over the past few months. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8089102.stm

:woohoo:

:)

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
