Today was another whirlwind of activity: no sooner had we set up our pitch in Cottingham than we spotted BBC Look North across the road, so cameras were soon rolling, with me expounding the folly of the old parties and what the Green Party wants to do. William Hague and Liam Fox were at large around the market place: the Tories seem to think it helps to import more Tory ‘big names’ to casually stroll around the vicinity. We, on the other hand, imported the much more useful James, Mark and Dan, all aged 18 and now free of school, who had travelled for 2 hours from
'This by-election is in our view pivotal for the future of both the Green Party and the country, so we were eager to get involved!
‘This was our first experience of canvassing, and although it was initially daunting, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Today we went door-to-door around Cottingham, and got a sense of anger from many over the calling of the election at public expense. In fact, the majority appeared disillusioned with the existing state of British politics.
‘It is clear that an alternative is needed. And the Green message - of power in the hands of communities - was well received by Haltemprice and Howden constituents, who have grown tired of

I was thinking of voting for one of the comedy candidates but after meeting you in Cottingham its you I'll voting for
If the Tories have packed off Liam Fox and William Hague they have obviously started to realise that their liberty to run the seat is in peril
Davis's gamble is backfiring: imminent Tory meltdown...
David Davis's career died in the graveyards of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Would have voted Liberal Democrat but since no candidate I'm yours

Start doing a raindance Shan.
Low turnout = Davis's core vote in Chernobyl-style meltdown

I notice that the Torygraph and Daily Hate Mail were vitriolic and unpleasant in their description of you - rude caricatures about being "worried" and wearing "open sandals".
Thirty years of Thatcherism - thirty years of domination by the Tory press
Enough! Ya basta!
I've just put $250 on you at Betfair
Do it for me Shan!!!

URGENT COMMUNIQUE
At 04:00 hours this morning, the Green Anarchist Internationalist Army - the paramilitary wing of the Green Party of England and Wales - successfully launched a dawn raid on David Davis' Haltemprice home.
Abseiling from their wind, solar and pedal powered helicopter, the faux-leather clad guerillas subdued his besuited minions by firing canisters of powdered chamomile and wild lettuce, leaving them snoring peacefully.
Spiriting Davis to a secret location somewhere in the wilds of Sussex, G.A.I.A. have pledged to keep Davis captive for 28 days for 'crimes against the electorate'. He is accused of wasting public money, instigating a media circus, and taking his constituents for granted, while displaying breathtaking hypocrisy in suppressing debate during the campaign.
Although G.A.I.A. have pledged not to harm a greying hair on his head, they plan to humiliate Davis by making him wear a bright orange hairshirt and sandals. He will be given limited rations of muesli and soy milk, and will be expected to read the Grauniad daily. 'Give Peace a Chance' will be blasted into his wattle-and-daub hut, and he will be subject to continuous screenings of 'An Inconvenient Truth' and 'The Corporation'.
