	True Teresa but someone once did say that if they stuck a red jumper on a sheep people in this constituency would vote for that. I'm not entirely sure if they were far wrong lol I can't remember who our MEP is, despite having voted and taken note of the result.

	BREAKING NEWS Police officers at a polling station in Brockley in Lewisham, south-east London, tell a BBC camera crew that voters are still being allowed to vote at 10.30pm. But the returning officer for Sheffield is apologising after people were unable to cast their votes there because of huge queues at polling stations. John Mothersole admits they were caught out. Some people left it a bit late !!!!

	Well I agree, if people don't get there early enough, they risk losing their vote, end of. they are open all day after all.

	No excuse, the polling stations have been open since 7.00pm. If you're going to work till 10 pm, you go down there in the morning.

	My brother lives in Brockley........ There have also been queues in Sheffield Hallam, Hackney, Peckham, as well as Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle. Police were reportedly called to deal with disturbances in Islington South after voters began demanding the right to vote. Some people had been queuing for over an hour. I went a 8:30 this morning - on the way to work. I always vote - even if it means spoiling my ballot paper (which I didn't do this time!)
