UK Election tidbits
Soon after expressing my dismay at the British media in not engaging me about the people and key issues – - I realize that I’ve been following the wrong news channel – Guardian online. No, this doesn’t mean the Guardian is bad..it just means that the ‘content’ is really in the print version. I visit the online site religiously and so any grieviances on being let down must surely be laid specifically at the gateway of the online Guardian portal. Though I strongly defend the Eat Well / Nutrition section of the online site – it’s terrific.
Deepan redirected me to the BBC website and I found this tidbit that I loved:
Back to Slad in Gloucestershire, where the local pub is doing its thing for British democracy, by hosting the village’s polling station. Our correspondent Jon Kay is there – upright – and says turnout by Slad’s 200-strong electorate has often hit 100%. Why do you think that might be, he asks.
Now if you’re wondering where Gloucestershire is… here’s an interactive map to learn more about the different constituencies… http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/election2010/results/default.stm
