Bogus canvasser warning
I was saddened to receive an email from the Community Safety Division of Wandsworth Council with the following warning:
Just a little reminder that you might like to pass on to your neighbours.
We have already had reports of people purporting to be canvassing for the election and asking to come in. A genuine canvasser will NOT want to come in; all he or she wants to do is know whether or not you will be voting for their candidate, and then get on to the next voter.
I would like to emphasis the point - no Labour Party canvasser will EVER ask to come into your house. Of course, you should never feel obliged to let anyone into your home if you do not want them there, and genuine political canvassers will have no reason to want to come in at all.
