I don't see how, if she is supervising a polling station, she is going to be able to achieve an internet connection. Such things are strictly verboten!  nonono:

Depends if she is in a church hall or a school .... Church halls don't tend to have internet connections and schools usually lock their classrooms when they are being accessed by the public. Unless she has carted a laptop and dongle with her it is unlikely that we will hear until well after polling closes at 10 tonight.

I hope she does let us know "from the sharp end" as it were but I feel it is unlikely.

I have assisted at one of these in the past and the officer in charge would not even allow mobile phone use in case the user was "telling the media" something.



PS the Heddlu have just gone in over the road. Usual visit to ensure all is well and to scrounge a cup of tea. Don't see why it takes two of them but for a change and to appear "non-threatening" they have left their baseball caps in the car and put on proper helmets. Still wearing stab proof vests and all the kit hanging off their belts tho'.

Skies are brightening and still the good folk of the village arrive. I am seeing people I have never seen before.  eeek:

The parade of the "Mums with the Bums" between 9 and 9.30 was a joy.

In this ward a straight fight twixt Tory and Labour. Labour currently holds the seat with a majority of 4600(ish) but are looking iffy.

I suspect the higher the turnout the better it will be for the Tories. They know there are large areas that they haven't a hope in (The North East and Scotland for example) but if the Lib Dem vote goes up it will be at the expense of Labour seems to be the consensus. The Tory core is larger than either at the moment but the old problem of winning the popular vote but not getting enough seats will come into play. The whole boundaries business needs looking at.

A local has just parked outside my house, got out of his car and, clutching his polling number card, was wandering around the outside of the Chapel (yesterday's polling station) looking evermore bewildered.

He has now approached a passer by who is laughing. Said local is looking sheepish ............................ He has looked again at his polling card .............. he is getting back in his car and is now on his mobile ~ presumably blaming his wife.  happy001
