Well, it had to happen some time. Despite the rather dodgy scanning (why can’t I find a cover shot when I want one?), the zoomed version clearly shows that I was featured on the front page of today’s Independent for supporting their voting reform campaign, which I mentioned here back on Thursday.

Over 4000 people have already signed their petition, and I strongly encourage you to do the same. If only to get them to accept that Labour won the election, and get back to reporting real news.

But how can you be sure that is the same Simon Howard and not one of the other tens of thousands of Simon Howards?

Because it was a list of all of those who had signed their petition – and I had done so.

That might be so, but where is the evidence that you are the same Simon Howard who signed the petition?

The evidence is purely circumstantial and no jury would be prepared to convict on such a flimsy connexion.

What we need is evidence beyond reasonable doubt!

Well I’m afraid there’s no better evidence I can supply. So you’re just going to have to trust me or doubt me.

You will be judged by the jury of popular opinion.
