the leader of her majesty's opposition mr simply red ed is close by today.
not dover but deal, after that up to thanet and gravesend.
interesting that he visits deal and not dover, another shadow minister did this a week or so ago, the reds believe that a couple of blues wards in deal are up for grabs, what is the betting that a big wig visits the maxton, elms vale and priory ward before the day of the hustings?

I predict that Ed Miliband will visit Dover before Nigel Farage does.

You are so right Peter. In fact this afternoon I got off the train from Folkestone at Dover Priory at 13:25, and who should step out of the next carriage in front of me? Ed Milliband with his PA. I walked right behind him across the platforms and watched as he descended the steps to a crowd of cheery sycophants in ties.
I got caught on camera looking thoroughly shifty directly behind him at the station and will probably pop up in the news, dammit.
He looked thorougly miserable.
I was more miserable than him though as the security disruption to the train service caused me to miss my dental appointment in Deal to have my wisdom tooth sorted. That's £7.50 train fare down the drain and probably a charge for a cancellation too. I'll now have to rebook and get time off work to attend another appointment.
Ed Milliband has probably cost me £25 today and a week of extra pain via his State Visit through no fault of my own.
Shame there were no ticket inspectors on duty, that would have been a good photo opportunity.
