			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations to Godfrey Spickernell for getting 17 votes for the Blue Environment Party in Chelsea &#038; Fulham &#8212; as far as I can see, the lowest total in the country.</p>
<p>I was a little disappointed nobody matched the heroic efforts of Catherine Taylor-Dawson, of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Politicians_History">Vote For Yourself Rainbow Dream Ticket Party</a>, who managed to get just <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/vote2005/html/124.stm">one vote</a> in Cardiff North in 2005, apparently a record low for any candidate in a general election since universal suffrage.  And she wasn&#8217;t even registered there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Metropolitan police are publicising <a href="http://www.met.police.uk/campaigns/campaign_ct_2008.htm">a new campaign</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Thousands of people take photos every day.  What if one of them seems odd?</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you think that person is committing a crime?  They probably are, most people are terrorists.  Do you think &#8216;what a loony&#8217;?  Do you sigh at the strange habits of foreigners?  Do you think, a lá train spotting, that some people have very odd habits indeed?  Do you report potential terrorist activity to the police and risk ruining the life of a person on a false accusation that you would have to repeat in court?  What if the person looked <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexguerra/244516090/">like this</a>?  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/razorific/265152971/">Or this</a>?  <a href="http://moonbatmedia.com/london_25march/large676.JPG">How about this one</a>?</p>
<p>From the press release:</p>
<blockquote><p>Terrorists use chemicals. Do you know someone buying large or unusual quantities of chemicals for no obvious reason?</p></blockquote>
<p>When I next meet a terrorist purchasing unusual quantities of chemicals I will ask, &#8216;Why?&#8217; and they will reply, &#8216;there is no obvious reason,&#8217; and I shall say, &#8216;Oh, well I guess I had better report you then,&#8217; and the country will be safer.</p>
<p>Thank heavens for this publicity.</p>
