This really has gone too far

BBC News have the full election thing going, with stupid animated maps and graphs, people nobody's ever heard of prattling on just to fill time, cameras in various places in the dark and cold talking to other people nobody's ever heard of, and a timeline for when votes are coming in. Yet I haven't had a polling card, nor notice of a local or general election. It's just... depressing, actually. I have no idea what the BBC and the rest of the UK media have been smoking, but I wish they'd stop.

It was totally wall-to-wall coverage on both main channels - and football on the other channels. I think we should apply for postal votes next time.

Given the stuff we've heard about American grasp of geography (and that isn't just from Rynogency *g*) - we might even succeed. *g* The 51st state and all that...
