A late night Friday night not partying, sadly, but scrambling up lamp posts and tying posters to them.This little bit of election tradition is either loved or hated by activists across party lines. Attempts to ban the practice have been tried and failed over the years and off course a voluntary ban doesn't work as if one lot does it then they have a competitive advantage.
Anyho' rules state that we can't put posters up until midnight so off I trundled to assist our Constituency Party Secretary for the midnight shift. Last time she had done the midnight start she was the victim of a drive by egging. Some body managed to drive past her and successfully pelt her with an egg when she was half way up a ladder! That takes some skill and makes the eggings we usually see seem, well static and, very unambitious. Who on earth keeps a stash of raw eggs in the car for just such a purpose? There are some weird people out there!
In the Ukraine even the MP's are getting in on the act.
