I wonder who will be the first photographer to be arrested under the prevention of terrorism act for trying to take a picture of their MP?

We'll be able to tell the arresting officer that our pictures are for "The Election Project" ( that he will no doubt never heard of) when he puts the cuffs on us, they must be joking.

That's what they say, but the vast majority of them have proven to be corrupt, what they want want to fight for is their continued meal ticket.

I have no interest in the election, It's like watching people fight over deckchairs on the Titanic.

Since I can no longer vote in UK elections:-

Politically Speaking

I cannot possibly confirm it,
And I may certainly not deny it.

I would not say it 'tis,
I could not say it isn't.

I could not say just when,
So I did not say it then.

Your rumours are just a cloud of smoke,
If there's any truth in it, I'll choke.

Why must I have to defend
That (s)he's only a good friend?

Of course you must vote for us-
The other chap's far wuss!

If the interviewer puts it to you straight,
There's only one recourse; to equivocate!

If your scheme's become quite bent,
You can always answer - No Comment!
