Intriguing photo of what appears to be the back area of the Shrub and Shutter. Looks a bit more genteel than the back bar of My Fathers Place.

That's logical if you think about it. The Brixton part of Dulwich and West Norwood is safe Labour - so sitting candidate Tessa Jowell was best employed trying to get the more Tory & Lib Dem areas of Dulwich onside.

I can't remember in detail earlier elections, but bear in mind that around 2001 Coldharbour was put into Duwich, whereas previously it was Angell Ward, Vauxhall.

The same argument applied to Vauxhall from a Labour point of view though. Brixton was safe Labour whereas the northern areas were marginal.

If they ever redo the boundaries - as should have happened in 2011 but didn't due to the row between Lib Dem and Tories over the House of Lords - then there will probably be a Brixton constituency again and the candidates will not have anywhere to hide.

The whole seat is pretty safe so it makes sense (in terms of trying to maximise a party's chances of getting more seats in parliament if not in terms of trying to engage everyone irrespective of whether they happen to live in a marginal or not... but that's probably a different discussion) for Lib Dem and Tories to get people leafletting in other constituencies.

I've just seen your post on Harriers/herne thread and I think we're talking of different people. Must be lots of twins about.
 
Is that some weird hipstery thing?
I think it's a Scottish thing. If you go to McDonalds and get a sausage mcmuffin, it isn't sausage in a case but sausage meat in a patty. Do that in a square shape and that is the square sausage I've had in Scotland.
 
And with their money they bring a shitty attitude and wonder why they are despised.
my measure of it is - forgetting house prices, if you asked them "would you raise your kids here? send them to the local schools?" if they said no, which i have a funny feeling a majority would, they should fuck off then!
 
Lorne sausage is ace. I get my sister to bring me a supply of that and Scotch pies when she comes to visit civilisation every once in a while.
 
Not being funny. But I can walk round and talk to traders for free, I don't need to pay some jumped up twats £70 for it.

£70 you could probably spend a whole fucking day actually eating food in the villaaaaage not just wanking around fucking talking about.

Fuck off friends of Giles Coren muppets!
