    But then again we have local elections as well to see which corrupt/paedo/bigoted councillors will get in.

    I did notice the BNP leaflet that came through my door came very early in the morning......
    probably delivered by a Sikh with the newspapers.

    Better the leaflet than the candidate.

    If you vote you help validate the whole ridiculous charade.

    If you don't vote then the EU wins anyway. But who can blame anyone for not bothering?

    .......In reality, splitting up 9.7 percent of the vote between a group of dysfunctional political parties, to let them play in an institution that hasn't any real power anyway, is something for which it isn't even worth getting out of bed..
    Euro-elections: an exercise in futility

    Probably because only English speaking people use that name for it. The real name is Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte - Black Forest Cherry Cake/Pie/Tart...

    I like the EU. The people in charge of it, whoever they are, are like a Big Brother to me.

    Perhaps Tehran should hold a referendum in Luton?

    I am too busy with eclairs, profiteroles, danish pastries, Viennese whirls and Tiramisu.

    Your remake of Breaking Bad would have got to about series 3 before Walter succumbed.
    Your remake of Breaking Bad ends after one episode because there is no point in turning to a life of violence and crime when the state provides your healthcare free at the point of delivery.
