On a lighter note:

A 14-year-old has described being interviewed by police after he managed to vote in the General Election despite being underage by four years.


The teenager managed to vote - despite being under the age of 18




Alfie McKenzie, from Lancashire, said he was sent a polling card in error but decided to use it to vote against the Conservatives in his area.

The politically-aware teenager said he dressed carefully in order to pass as an adult.

"I dressed as much like a Tory as I could manage: a trench coat, reading glasses, sharp shoes," he wrote in the Observer.


Fortunately, it seems that I'm not going to be prosecuted.

Teenager Alfie McKenzie
"I gave it my slightly eccentric aristocrat's walk and my best self-righteous Conservative accent, walked into St Hilda's polling station, went straight to the table and was directed to the slip which I was to cross."

The schoolboy said his secret was only discovered when he told a teacher at school who reported him to the police and the local council.

"When the police arrived, I came across way too informed and understanding to claim ignorance; the burly officer's patronising tone lowered as our interview progressed," he said.

Harriet Harman has ruled herself out as contending for the leadership.
Fantastic, but she didn't really have much of a chance anyway. But good to know she won't be there - less of her I see on the telly the better.

it's british culture to sneer at anyone in a better position than you.

i guess people never grew out of the 80's class war attitude.

sad tbh

They sneer because they are uneducated or envious or both or either.
