Tim Loughton (MP for Shoreham and East Worthing) and I were canvassing this afternoon for John Denman. We did a few roads in Ifield and I have to admit I was surprised by the reactions on the doorsteps.
In the River Mead and Strathmore Road area people were either very guarded or only mildly positive. There weren’t a large number of negative responses, but there should, by stereotypes, have been many more positive.
Having completed this area, we moved down (south-west) to the Fairway area. Here there were an alarming number of BNP supporters. Most people, though, said they wouldn’t vote.
I was also out, earlier this afternoon, in Lancing — thank you for your warm welcomes if you’re reading here!
