Anyone else see this?

One of them is my constituency - luckily I wasn't affected, but it's a bit worrying. They did take a while to find me on the list this evening!

Edit: After checking on www.chiswickw4.com, it seems it was Irish citizens who were wrongly put in the category for EU countries (who don't have a vote here) - Ireland is different, their citizens are allowed to vote in general elections. There are loads of Irish around here (3000 apparently), a friend of mine from Sligo lives just over the border in the next constituency, so would presumably have escaped. I don't expect the Labour majority will fall that much, but it's still a cock up.
