Now, I'm totally insulted
When I thought it couldn't get worse!!!!
Over the weekend I got my first approach from a Labour activist and family friend. Not only did he assume that I was voting for Calum, but he made no attempt to persuade me how to vote. I had always voted Labour (as far as he knew) and I always would. When I got a bit angry about his asssumptions and about Iraq he assumed I was taking the p*ss and laughed at me.
Then when he realised I was serious, he told me to vote Labour as Tony wasn't going to be leader for long.
What sort of message is that to try to sell to your core voters? My mother heard it all and was appalled, and has vowed never to vote Labour again.
