no, they delivered 250,000 leaflets to the household where the householder said they didn't want any Lib Dem leaflets.

That reminds me of the time when I designed and printed a second leaflet specifically for the purpose of delivering it to the person who had threatened to punch me in the face after he objected to the fact that I had delivered a first leaflet to his house, despite not having a “No Leaflets” sign.

It must be a bit disappointing for the LDs to be in 4th place after delivering so many leaflets!

Does anybody actually know to what extent her personal vote really is, as a result? Her majority really has gone up every time, though her non-local antics have only really taken hold in a big way since she entered Johnson's cabinet and the TV career even more recently so. I know one of those Twitterers did a highly scientific Vox-pop when she first got her Talk TV gig and there wasn't anyone in favour of it - but what has she really done right here from 2005-19? Or is this one of those places with so little deprivation and contentious issues, that the only 'casework' required is cutting a ribbon at a village hall every now and again? Lichfield also comes to mind...

Where the Liberal Democrats are unique is that they mislead and deceitfully are able to oppose a plan in one part of the polling district/ward/constituency and actively support it in another part. In some areas the Green Party are following the same tactic. If the Green party are doing this too, then the Lib Dems cannot be said to be 'unique' in doing this. He is deceitfully putting out opposing facts in different parts of the post!

Seriously, I would hate that. That's about 6 per house. Over what period? 6 months? Nadine has been expected to go for ages. I doubt they've been getting 1 a week out for 6 weeks. If you’ve got money to burn, then with Royal Mail Walksort it would be easy.

I thought it was "No Junk Mail" and the second included details of what that actually means? Yes it was. He had a sign which said “No Junk Mail or Free Newspapers”. When I politely tried to point out to the man that an election leaflet was not junk mail, he got aggressive and threatened to punch me. Thereupon I (completely insincerely) apologised for delivering the first leaflet (and completely untruthfully and insincerely) promised not to deliver to his house again. I then went straight to the police station and reported him for threatening me (they didn’t do anything, but anyway). My revenge was that I designed a second leaflet which, among other things, said that election leaflets are not “junk mail”, stated that I had been threatened (and that I had reported it to the police), and said that political campaigners of all parties were entitled to deliver election material to electors. In other words, he would have read it and realised that it referred to him). I printed off a few extra copies and delivered them to his neighbours, in order to disguise the fact that it was specifically aimed at him. When I delivered the second leaflet (at 3o’clock in the morning, in order to minimise the danger that he would confront me again), I deliberately folded it so that the bit which prominently said “election leaflets are not junk mail” was prominently visible and would have been the first bit he read.

In some areas the Green Party are following the same tactic. It's news to me that there are local Green Parties doing this. Do you have evidence for this claim?

gibbon's silence after being challenged provides the answer I think.

One thing slightly interesting about this by-election is that it's not unfeasible to imagine any one of all the candidates who are standing coming 4th in the end.

Con, Lab, LD will be the top three, the question is in what order. I don't see any of those coming fourth

I don't see any of those coming fourth I feel like the independent is high profile enough that even if that poll wasn't quite right, he still feels like a relevant factor. Wait and see I suppose– just in a constituency that's this generally conservative but at a time of a lot of opposition to the Conservative Party itself, that's when you would expect an independent like that to do well.

Gibbon has spent the night sleeping. Gibbon is not online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 (366 in leap years) a year. Gibbon agrees with batman's comments.
