Election 2015: not exactly the golden age of campaigning
I had no success with my questions in Hornsey this morning as Labour officials grabbed me and my cameraman and stopped us getting near Ed Miliband.
He then delivered one of the shortest stump speeches on record. I thought it was about five minutes; colleagues said it was more like three.
What happened here was far from the open campaigning of years gone by, when Harold Wilson or Ted Heath would do genuine walkabouts.
