Spoiling your paper
Not much time to write at the moment, but here's a quicky tip I picked up recently from a friend. She has been a Tory candidate, Mayor and now a local councillor.
As the silly season may be upon us soon, Cameloon is staving off an election and Brown must be tempted to go ahead, some of you may be wondering how to register your disgust at the second raters who will be putting their names forward come ballot time.
Do not spoil your paper by writing f…ing twit against a candidate's name. This can be construed as a vote for the sad bastard and help them along their way (honestly).
You need to register your protest in a vertical manner, thus encompassing all the incumbents, so that no one can be awarded your non-vote.
Take in your own thick black felt tip (pencils just do not state your case strongly enough) turn your ballot paper 90 degrees and start from the left writng "Rod was right - you're all a bunch of tossers", making sure that you cover all the candidates.
I will reciprocate by writing, "They made me do it - I'm off to France."
