Yesterday there was a large team out in Canning Town South and this afternoon I helped out in Plaistow South (West Ham CLP). Local Councillor Graham Lane (2nd right) and Neil Wilson (4th right) each led a team.
The voter identification went very well but I was surprised that we picked up very little casework considering we had local ward councillors with us. But I then found out that the local Councillors hold a successful weekly surgery in the New Vic School which is just nearby.
Interesting story told about how one local resident use to regularly stand in elections as a candidate - year in – year out - for the BNP. Then one day when a Labour Party canvasser called he told him that he was no longer in the BNP. He admitted he had been expelled because he had married a “non white”.
