Silly Law

An election pack issued by Bournemouth Borough Council stated that "lunatics and idiots" and "deaf and dumb persons" were disqualified from standing. Matt Pitcher, electoral services officer, said it was a mistake and that the terminology was allegedly taken directly from election law dating back to 1766 (although I can't seem to find anything using Google). The information pack has been amended and the council apologised for "any offence which may have been caused". Which is a shame otherwise it might have kept Fab out of office (have you seen his crazy driving?). ;)

I think Fab's mouth is doing a fine job of keeping him out of office without any help from his eyes or ears :)
