And quite a few probably realised they made a mistake doing it last time.

This is, unfortunately true; I hate form filling and normally get nervous and fuck up the form. I know this, so I get the Storm Vixen to fill them in, she like form filling

Hell yes.

It would have to be ten people who are capable of filling in forms, or, if not capable themselves (which can happen for various reasons that are not their fault), willing to ask someone to check the form for them - and with important forms it's probably always a good idea to have someone check them. The latter precludes arrogant bastards who think they're always right. Lozza's supporters, basically.
And I bet he did nominate himself.

Love and solidarity
Even if all the people filling in the nomination forms are 100% competent, any halfway serious political organisation would double check them before submission.
They'd also submit in plenty of time before the deadline, rather than leaving it until the last minute as Fox appears to have done.
It will fascinating to see what response he gets to his demands to know why his nomination wasn't valid, and I'd be willing to bet it will be some sort of careless mistake which could and should have been easily spotted and remedied if proper care had been taken.
What an utter clown he is.

Exasperated, not angry.
yeah, its not really difficult.
- Ensure you have the most up to date voter registration list.
- Ensure the nominee has written their details as written on said registration list.
- Ensure all dates and signatures are in the right place.
- Insert a witness signature (ensuring the above).
- Count to ten.

TBF, Binface's promises seem a lot less bonkers on the surface of it than Susan Hall's do.
Disclosure: He got my first vote last time around. Wanted to see him beat Fox. I think they disclosed that something like 93% of Binface's voters had Khan as second choice, so really was just people teasing the vote system.

Isn't Easter meant to be a time of quiet reflection for Christians, so a gaudy celebration would be a bit of a faux pas? Isn't the same true for Muslims during Ramadan? So this might be in bad taste, but it is for very different reasons than Lozza's posting.
Eid al-Fitr is the celebration at the end of the holy month.

There's not even a mass from Good Friday 'til the Easter Vigil. Services, but no mass.
I've told the boy that the basket blessing is more important as Polish tradition than it is a religious thing, so he got halfway into it at least. I'm areligious myself, but Easter is Wrong without the basket blessing. You'll never see 3/4s of the people there set foot in church outside of maybe Christmas.

Maybe he or his team thought he was the 10th person in his borough, that he could nominate himself? Or maybe they can't count.

Given the wording of London Elects' statement, and Fox's claim they had more than enough, and the number of nominations ruled ineligible, I reckon it's likely that they the problem was something along the lines of they had eg 10-12 nominations in Islington, but eg 1-3 couldn't be reconciled with electoral register, which meant that there weren't enough nominations in the borough.
Given the wording, it seems more likely that they submitted forms with sufficient nominations, but it's the discounting of ineligible nominations that's brought the tally below the threshold in some boroughs and made his overall application fail to meet requirements.

Mostly bewildered
They only consider the first 10 names on the list, apparently. So he probably did have enough in each borough, but the first 10 names included errors in some of the boroughs.

Tbh, not that I give a shit in this instance, that does seem like unnecessary hoop jumping. It wouldn't be great if an actual contender was caught out by something like that.

Had they got this in well before the deadline any issues could have been ironed out, handing in your homework with minutes to spare then getting all humpy cos in your rush you fucked it up, that’s your fault and yours alone.
