The Backing Blair van did a tour of Labour/marginal constituencies in (and to) the east of London yesterday. For reasons of sensitivity, in areas with a primarily Muslim population, we did not use the "A vote for Tony Blair protects you from the terrorist threat..." voice-over soundtrack (as described here) but music alone. But the reactions in these areas were still the strongest we've seen so far.



We also used some new music on this run. As well as the now-standard 'Things Can Only Get Better' and the rocked-up version of the 'Imperial March', we included the theme music from 'Sesame Street' and 'The Muppet Show'.

There may be one final run for the truck next weekend. A few more donations will make this a certainty.
