A random act of canvassing kindness
Mark Durkan was canvassing in Eglinton, Co Derry on Saturday. At one door he knocked, no one was home, but on his way out the SDLP leader noticed a tenner on the footpath. As he looked more closely he found a few more. In all £50 lay on the garden path. It had been raining, so the notes were sodden and stuck to the ground.
Some of his campaign team were concerned that putting the cash back through the letter box might look like an attempt to bribe a potential voter. But the SDLP MP scribbled a note and did just that.
Better not tell the Westminster fees office, as the Foyle MP must have broken some unwritten parliamentary rule by giving money to his constituents rather than taking it away.
