Can't Win/Won't Win?

I don't know for sure who is behind the 1001 Campaign, but they appear to be Labour supporters, perhaps even party members, who are convinced that Ed Miliband can't win/won't win the general election in 2015.

 I suspect they're right and that the very best Labour can hope for is to be the largest party based on 33/34% of the popular vote although even that is looking less and less likely these days, as the Labour lead in the opinion polls dwindles away to zero.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
