BREAKING NEWS in the Commissioner of Crime Election

Ian Chisnall, Independent candidate in the upcoming Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner election, apparently has no eyes!

Sadly the rather churchy candidate just has little black slits. How does he drive that boat then?

East Brighton Exit Poll Results

So as we march through midday on the most important election day...in 2012...in east Brighton...on October 18 I have undertaken a very scientific and highly representative exit poll.

The survey was taken from a broad section of the electorate close to the polling station at TS Nautilus, 39A Chesham Road BN2.

Very interesting results.

So, in lieu of anything too worthwhile to say myself, here's a round up from the nitty-net of the news and views regards this momentous event:

And just to liven things up (as this has been rather dull, frankly), here's a picture of the mighty fine Smoky Jo Burger from The Troll's Pantry chuck wagon in the Wood Store car park, Circus Street, Brighton.
