	My letter has turned up this morning. I thought I would ring the coucil as mine says ""Your details are NOT on the open register"" When the young lady answered my call, I asked her to take my name off the Open register and she told me that ""Everyone has to phone up to have their name taken off the OPEN register no matter what it says on the letter"" I queried this again with her as the letter says "my details are NOT on the OPEN register and I told her quite a few people are being mislead about this. She asked me to let everyone know to ring their councils and if they don't want their name on the OPEN register to ask their council to take it off wether your letter says your not on the OPEN or you are..

	The single most serious illness infecting the body politic in the UK, (apart from the recent poor English language exam results) is the philosophy – if one can call it that – which says "Why bother voting. We can't change anything". Any cure for my current bout of political pessimism? Like President Obama, I refuse the ‘ice bucket’ endurance challenge.
