    Now I've just had an email from big Len asking me if I want to vote in the leadership elections. It reads:
    Dear sturcol

    Now, I can't be dishonest about this so:
    1) Do I support the aims and values of the Labour Party, and
    2) Am I a supporter of any organisation opposed to it?

    Well a quick look around t'internet tells me there is nothing about Labour's aims and values that is incompatible with my own beliefs - I just don't have any faith in their method of achieving those aims. Also - I don't belong to any organisations opposed to the Labour party.

    So that's that! I'm eligible to vote! Jezza it is then!
