Then, there’s the posters.  Activist Jan Morter decided that her stakeboard couldn’t be seen at night.  So she decided to brighten up her street, which shone some light on the campaign:

Next there’s the ducks.  Duck L’Orange, the duck of Liberal Tolerance and Justice, apart from having her own twitter account (follow @duckalorangeld) has apparently produced some offspring.  A naming competition followed.  After 2 ballots and 1 recount, Crispin Daisy Duck was declared the winner:

Things only got better when Labour failed to stand candidates in almost half of the Council seats up for election inside the OxWAb Constituency Boundary.  Naturally, Neil Fawcett couldn’t resist another bar graph, showing why Labour cannot win in Oxford West and Abingdon:

Meanwhile, OxWAb have set a new fundraising target of £7,000.  If you can help Layla win and achieve this, please contribute here.
PS: But don’t feed the ducks 😉
