Today is 'Charlie Chaplin Day for Democracy' #TYSIC

Make sure you vote:

It is important to vote, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about anything governmental for the next 5 years and for TYSIC, and enjoying life I need to be able to complain. If that isn't reason enough, if less than 1% more of the population had voted for any other party (even Tory, if you must) in the European elections, the BNP would not have won their seats. Withholding your vote is not a defendable stance, if you want to protest the choice, vote for a minority candidate who is closest to your own ideology, but vote.

From Richard Herring's blog today:

And don't forget everyone, Friday this week is Charlie Chaplin's 121st birthday and the first every "Charlie Chaplin Day for Democracy". I am hoping that some of you might join me and wear a real or false toothbrush moustache for the day (or at least part of it) in order to remind people of the importance of our vote and to help fight fascism and the BNP. I see this very much as an underground movement and there will be no official publicity for it (feel free to plug the idea if you have an outlet to do so). I want to see if we can make this grow organically. It would be great and appropriate if it became a yearly fixture, but it would still be something if it only happened once. If you want to use it as an opportunity to raise money for charity (SCOPE perhaps) then that is up to you, but I would be very grateful if you marked the occasion in some way. Even if that was only by drawing a moustache on a poster or putting one on a statue or whatever you think would help (don't cause damage to anything of any actual value of course). After all these months of being almost the only idiot with this ludicrous face furniture, it would be good to know that a handful of other fools had joined me.

So, for one day only, Al & Spidey go toothbrush:
