I just voted in the EU Elections on the way home from work

Asked one of the officials if they had been busy and apparently not. Slow and steady were his exact words. A bit disappointing. I know it is the EU elections and that people don't really come out. But I had hoped in a progressive area like the one I live in would have put out for a huge anti-Brexit vote. Seems not which is going to make that smug wanker Farage intolerable.

Was there a ballot selection for favourite flavour of milkshake? I'd go to the polls just so I could vote for that!

Farage is a P.O.S. He even looks slimy. How could anyone listen to him?! He is a destroyer and an asswipe.
