Sore throat
Quite a debilitating day, with the poor weather and the on-going sore throat. I think I should be fine by tomorrow, and certainly fine to vote in our local elections (mayor and London Assembly members, I believe). I'm going for Boris first choice. Haven't decided on second choice yet, but it certainly won't be Ken or Brian. It will most certainly not be BNP either, although I have to admit, I heard their mayoral candidate Richard Barnbrook on the radio the other day, and didn't find anything particularly offensive. They're not even anti-immigrants (supposedly), just seem to call for fair immigration. (Of course they could just say nice-sounding things just to get votes).They're a bizarre party, which I have never really bothered to find out much about. One year, I was quite shocked to learn that they actually had Indian (Asian) supporters of their party. (I would have discounted this as a hoax, except it was one of the BBC news programmes). I must admit I have not checked up on the policies of any of the other minor candidates. I'll probably go for the Green party candidate.
Someone suggested that Brian Paddick hinted that he'd prefer to see Boris in power rather than Ken. I know I have not ever heard Paddick actually say to vote Boris as second choice. Perhaps it's just the media reading too much between the lines.
