Peterborough and Putney perturbs
Two slightly disturbing sights in Peterborough. Firstly, an Asian returning officer with an Indian accent announcing the number of votes for the British National Party, who cheered like crazed banshees.
Secondly, a 7 percent swing to the Conservatives. This is in line with the 6 percent swing to the party in Putney, the only other Labour-Tory marginal to declare thus far. If this is reflected in all seats, we could be on for a hung parliament. The fear is setting in.
