Voted. I've been quite insistent over the years that local politics is local and national politics is national but this time felt different. Had my local councillor stood on their own merits without party affiliation I'd have voted for them in an eyeblink. I might even had held my nose and voted for them in the end despite the current government and its pursuit of The Hero Reform Voter. The clincher was Labour's odious local elections campaign which said not one jot about how it's going to finally start helping local public services recover from the ravages of Austerity but just retreaded old anti-Corbyn attack lines and directed self-loathing Jew tropes at Polanski. After that there was no question, just as the Home Secretary told people like me to fuck off, so off I fucked. #UKPolitics #UKLocalElections
