in the style of the seventh cavalry our trade union friends stormed town today to offer succour to those of us suffering from the evils of the cobbled together coalition.
unfortunately nobody came as it was precipitating down with rain.

That's what Golden Dawn do in Greece.

Is distributing food and medicine to people in need a racist or violent attack!?

the purpose of the bus was to ask people what they wanted to see happen in our fair land.

They were handing out leaflets through the town centre on Saturday. But a rainy Sunday afternoon in Dover when town centre footfall is as light as it gets may not have been the best idea.

Bad planning if that is the case

Public union hand-wringing I suppose.

Its good for unions to have such days, but better organised would get the message across, clearly didn't in this case

I cannot conceive of anything blameworthy in what these folk are doing, or attempting to do.
It is not as if they had missed a congregation of locals ready and willing to discuss issues of national importance that gathers in town on alternate Saturdays or every Friday, come rain or shine.
I am at a loss too, to fathom the common (mis)conception that Politics is confined to those who were found floating in a basket at the banks of the Nile, and that Politics is ever someone else's problem.
I am nearly 60 years old and the next election will be my eleventh opportunity to participate in this so-call Democracy at a National Level, and this includes the two Elections of 1974.
'They' have no ideas? What does that say about the rest of us?

P.S.
Any who become 18, and are eligible to vote, in 2015, (now that we have a fixed-term 5-year Parliament) will not get their eleventh opportunity to vote in a General Election until they are 68 years old. [i.e. just before they retire?]
