    BBC News - Election 2010 - Live coverage - General Election 2010

    1545: The Labour candidate for Bootle on Merseyside has had the tip of his finger bitten off by a dog while out campaigning. Joe Benton, 77, was taken to hospital after the animal bit him as he pushed an election leaflet through a letter box. Mr Benton has been unable to vote for himself as a result and will not be able to attend tonight's count.

    Don't they ever learn? Exactly the same thing happened a few years ago.

    As the saying goes, people who know a bit of history are doomed to watch Labour politicians repeating it.

          You would vote a 77 year old in who is obviously in touch with the needs of a modern society???

            In some northern constituencies, they would vote in a Chimpanzee if it sported a red rosette. I believe there is a wealth of evidence to support this contention.

              I can't work out which way your sarcasm is headed there. But do you think 77-year-olds don't live in a modern society, but in alternative society (possibly located deep beneath the surface of the moon)?

                This was Merseyside. They had to dredge up a 77-year-old in order that the Labour Candidate could be said to have had actual Work Experience.

                  And I see he's only had the job since 1990. Bloody "Thatcher's children".
