I’m one of those people who don’t join clubs, a bit like Groucho Marx. On the few occasions that I’ve signed petitions, I haven’t put down my real name.
I’m blaming the fact that one of my relatives was transported to Australia, just for shouting his mouth off basically. So it’s a very big deal for me to join the Take Back Parliament campaign.
I saw the demonstration outside the London Liberal Democrat HQ on News 24 on Saturday afternoon and felt that there isn’t any point in me moaning about our rotten voting system if I’m not prepared to stick my head above the parapet.
So I’ll probably be in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile at St. Giles next Saturday, wearing purple. There are meetings going on all over the country.
After all, I’m in no danger of being sent to Botany Bay, they wouldn’t let us in.
