Ouch! fingers burnt and suffering from exhaustion

WHAT a count. Seven and a half hours. Why on earth didn't they have different ballot boxes for the Euros?

I'm gutted over St John's ward. I seriously thought we were in with a chance. Our disappointing result shows the massive effort put in by Clive Jefferson last time when he canvassed the whole ward.

Results otherwise were roughly what was expected although my enthusiasm for the campaign obviously had some percentage points which weren't appropriate.

What was most important was the Euro vote. From close examination I would say that Allerdale has returned a 8/9% BNP vote which is double five years ago.
