Doubtless there were cock ups, and heads should roll, however it turned out last night that the Angry Old Woman the Beeb interviewed - and replayed endlessly for the next 3-4 hours - had gone down to he local polling station at 6pm and didn't fancy the queue. She went home, had another look at the queue at 7, 8 and 9pm, and only thought it might be a good idea to join the line at 9.15pm. Surprise, surprise, the door was slammed in her face at 10pm, as legally it must be.

Ofcourse 15 hours is plenty of time, it has worked before, or are we seeing cuts even in the resources at the polling stations?
That can be one of the reasons why 15 hours was not enough to process people wanting to vote.
Anyway, Gawd should now do the right thing, he was not even democratically elected, he should resign and go for a pint with his friend Nick
