and they're OFF!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen!
The countdown to when the General Election would be announced is over... Now it's just the small matter of a whole month of wall-to-wall coverage of every minutiae to do with the Thursday 6th May event.

Sky and BBC had 'Breaking News' from before 9am until after 4pm saying the election was being announced. We saw coverage of a helicopter taking pictures of another helicopter because the Queen was travelling back from Windsor.
Yes...if there's a tenuous link, you going to hear about it..

I myself have been waiting for and been rewarded with footage the BNP would love. People of colour complaining about "them immigants" [sic]. People who would deny to others the rights afforded to them and their parents.

No it's not quite an Obama moment, but it is democracy in action... It's going to be a lovely election, and despite my whinging, I now I'll, as ever, be up all night watching it...
