. it contains a postal vote only and no way to vote in person.

yes, i can take my postal vote in to the collection point in person but i have to have it witnessed by someone who verifies that i’m “known to them personally”.

and where do you find one of those on a thursday evening when you live by yourself and have studiously avoided knowing the neighbours or in fact knowing anyone at all within a couple of hours drive.

bugger.

voting’s only for those with friends now.

that’s just great, i’ve been disenfranchised for being anti-social.

[note to self: open envelopes, don’t just divine their contents by mind melding with the paper]
