Following is an e-mail I sent to my MP, regarding Ed Vaizey's 'internet porn ban'.

American Revolution? Independence? Yeah right, the UK's Secretary of State will soon have the power to block USA websites (s)he doesn't like.

Just a quick post here to embed a couple of recordings of the same piece. This first recording was made last June (2009) when I was trying to see how I really sounded to someone in front of the sound hole on my guitar.

What did I learn? That I either sound awful, a Nokia 5300 is not a good recording device, or both.

After a fair bit of deliberation I've decided not to stand in the election. It's too much hassle for me right now to deal with paperwork and online campaigning.

What I really ought to do is focus on getting diagnoses for my medical conditions so that I at least have medical evidence to support a new DLA claim. The reason I'm not getting what I should be entitled to is most likely because there is no clinical diagnosis, and the problems I have are unlikely to be recorded on my medical record because of my distrust of those in authority.

So, what will I do with this website?

Having read a lot of information over the last few days, I am leaning closer to standing as an independent now. I don't agree 100% with any party's manifesto/policies and those I broadly agree with remove the ability to speak as an individual when working as a representative of the party/group.

Championing policies, Reforming our democracy, Strengthening Parliament, Improving the running of government.

This article covers subjects that are not fully covered in the English Democrats manifesto nor the article detailing my difference of opinion to the manifesto.

I fully support everything in the English Democrats Manifesto, however, my views differ to the Party position in several areas.

As I was going through the policies of the parties standing in Watford, I found myself thinking 'isn't there any party I agree with 100%?' That's when I wondered if I was the only person I was truly confident in voting for to represent my views.

I looked at The English Democrats Manifesto and saw a lot of things that I agreed with including referenda for withdrawal from the EU and a devolved English Parliament.

That isn't to say I agree with the English Democrats Manifesto 100% on all issues, and I will detail where my views differ (and my views on controversial topics) in separate articles.
