My Labour candidate has circumvented "your notice" a couple of days ago Adam
by sending his leaflet through the postal system so that Royal Mail has to
deliver it - irrespective of what the bloody great A4 notice selotaped to my
front door says about cold callers etc.

Still, the paper is recyclable and any other poloitical party doesn't stand
a dog's chance in hell of overturning Labour's 49% of the vote at the last
election (with the Torys being second on 14%).

As for me, at General elections, Labour gets my vote. At local elections,
it's generally the first non far-right independant who can convince me of
his or her enthusiasm at *trying* to get things done for their
constituents - as Labour generally 'walks' into 'power' anyway.

Their basic method of implementing opt-out is fundamentally

It could easily be prevented if they would allow their staff to
respect notices affixed to the letterbox. They could even issue
stickers themselves, once they have your confirmed instructions.
They won't do this, because it would reduce revenue.

Oddly, the mailing that was supposed to inform everybody about
the planned (and then quickly postponed) NHS database was wrongly
deemed by Royal Mail to be OK for opt out. - we never saw it.

Don't forget, you need to re-register every 2 years, they won't
remind you.

Will it?

"The opt out service only relates to unaddressed mail."

"Royal Mail is still legally obliged to deliver all addressed mail,
which
includes mail that is addressed "To the Occupier" (or with any other

generic recipient information), as well as mail that is personally
addressed to you by name."

and:

"Opting out from Royal Mail Door to Door stops all unaddressed items
from
being delivered by us (although we do work with Government to get a
message to every UK address in exceptional circumstances). Election
material is not delivered by the Door to Door service and is
therefore

I get the impression that the "Door to Door service" is something
seperate from the Royal Mail letter/small packet service and seperate
from the delivery of other carriers (Mailsort, UKMail, PostageSmart,
etc) post even if it's all physically delivered at the same time by
the same postie.

Dunno. But millions vote for Labour, the Liberals the SNP and the Tory
party.

That is a failure at your local delivery office, not a 'system failure'.
Anything that affects deliveries such as change of name or address, opt

delivery office, the whole point being that anyone on that duty will

Correct. Door to Door material is usually received at the local
delivery office at least a week before delivery. Each batch is marked
for delivery between two dates, and the postie chooses when to add it to
his frame for delivery. Everything else is (or should be) delivered the
day it is received at the delivery office.

I complain through channels from time to time. I have a chat with
new folk on the round if I can catch them. The most recent time
he told me that the markings on the frame are not used any more,
but there is a list somewhere.

My point is that, unless you can explain an aspect that I am
overlooking, when they get to my door, it is down to their memory
to recall that I am officially opted out.

Leafletters are delivring so many leaflets that by the time any wording
on a door/letterbox has distracted their attention from pushing the
leaflet through and setting off for the next door, the leaflet will
already be through the letterbox and they'll be half way back down the

Yes, you are correct. Problem is, they should not be getting to your
door, or even to the postie or his bag, van, whatever. The theory is
the postie delivers everything he is given. My office was small rural,
and I can see that in a much larger office, there may be breakdowns in
communication, which does not help you.

That is clearly UKIP because there isn't even the
remotest possibility they will ever be the government.

The worst a vote for them might produce is a referendum
on whether Britain should remain in the EU.

I haven't really decided who to vote for. We're in a pretty safe seat,
so we don't get a vote that matters much - and we might get an
interesting independent. I like to encourage the nutters, it helps to
deflate the ones who think they know better than anyone else how to run
the country.

I see he got put down with his idea that doctors should break their

I would think Farage has alienated all the NHS staff by now.
I can't imagine many of them ignoring someone suffering just because
they can't prove entitlement.
What's he going to do to the staff when they do treat someone, imprison
them, fine them, sack them or has he got a better way to ruin the NHS?

Next it will be other undesirables like drug addicts, alcoholics,

You really haven't been listening: the idea is not to let people arrive
in the country who are chronically ill, in the first place.

There are literally billions of people who need medical treatment and
deserve better lives. At some point it is not possible to help them all.
That is the sad and hard fact of real life.

The Left refuses to face up to that.


Next it will be other undesirables like drug addicts, alcoholics,

I only ever met one socialist I admired; someone I worked with a long time
ago who declined the company BUPA because he disapproved of private health

I have no problem with private health insurance - that slot saved on the
NHS is a slot that's available for someone else (assuming that the
private guy goes to a private hospital).

I wonder if ukip supporters wear brown shirts?

What a disgusting fascist thing to say.

It's a sad reflection of how left-wing this country has become that a
centre-right party can be described as fascist.

Fascists see violence as a legitimate tactic. Now, look and see who has
been applying such a tactic. Animal "rights" fascists, the
"anti-fascist" fascists who have had a go at Farage a couple of times,
and so on. And guess what. They're all on the left.

Nationalists + Socialists = ??
