| Very unusual: 100s of polimen guard polling booths in UK elections |
Quite uncharacteristic of the voting process of the United Kingdom, hundreds of policemen were deployed across polling stations in the Tower Hamlet Borough of London. Officers are in place at every polling station in the east London borough, which has been rocked by an electoral fraud scandal. Tower Hamlet situated east of the City of London and north of the River Thames has a large populations of Asians and an Islamic fundamentalist hotbed.
