There was a number of Labour teams out canvassing in various parts of Tower Hamlets that night.
One local resident helping out was a fellow UNISON Housing officer who worked in Haringey.
There were lots of low rise blocks with no lifts, so plenty of healthy exercise going up and down stairwells. Once again I thought why pay for an expensive gym to get fit when you can go canvassing for Labour for free! - perhaps the Party ought to charge?
I felt we had a really good response on the door step. People wanted a real Labour Mayor to work with real Labour Councillors and real Labour MP's to fight the impending Tsunami of CONDEM slash and burn cuts about to engulf the borough.
During the canvass I asked David why politics in Tower Hamlets is so, so boring, why nothing ever happens in the borough, why everything is so unexciting, drab and predictable. David immediately replied that it is because everyone in the local Party loves each other, are always in total agreement and have never a bad word to say about each other.
