I didn't vote today, it's the first time I've not voted since I became eligible to vote almost 10 years ago. I fully intended to cast my vote but I left home this morning way before the booths opened and returned home way after they closed, I didn't plan to be away so long.

I'm feeling guilty, the local Asylum Centre issue has lead to an influx of the Far-Right in the area, all votes count because it's the low turn out that gives them their advantage, the last thing we need is more BNP councillors.
