There really shouldn't be anyone handing out bias right before someone votes...

Should throw out the stations vote as a solution tbh, same should be true of Anti-EU leaflets and same situation.

it doesn't matter it's in the proximity.
but it's a labour activist so shouldn't be surprised.

I was more highlighting scorza's continued bending of the truth which has frequented these EU threads in recent months :)

As a non-Labour voter within Tower Hamlets I fully concur that she should be nowhere near a polling station, outside or in.

In or out it doesn't matter, apparently she shouldn't be campaigning within 250m of a polling station. Source.

Anyway, turnout in Tower Hamlets is expected to be high, with some pundits predicting 150% of the electorate will vote!

You could have applied for a proxy vote or even an emergency proxy vote...

Brilliant, so why did you capitalise IN?

I still think she's in the polling station - I could argue the toss but what would be the point? Better to avoid pedantic legal debates about what in and out actually mean.

One thing I don't get though is that plod is right there - why didn't they tell her to stop breaking the law? We've seen the police intervene in other parts of the country to stop pens being handed out (thus furthering the conspiracy theory).
 
Car parked near my local polling station with Vote UKIP banners in the window, what a complete Herbert, it's a referendum not political election!

And last night the number of drivers discussing this whilst I unloaded at Tesco's distribution centre in Purfleet, Essex, quite a few were "I'm voting out, **** Cameron" - they seemed bemused when I pointed out all of the political parties with the exception of UKIP & the BNP support remain!

I fear this is a monumental vote but many taking part are voting for all the wrong reasons....

No idea what he's doing - the policing and regulation of polling stations in Tower Hamlets isn't exactly at the top of anyone's list unfortunately.
