Wow what a difference to last time! The Polling Station staff were fantastic. They went out of their way to ensure that these 2 felt welcome, heard, and respected. They spoke to them not us. I shook their hands and thanked them all. ☺️

In May this year a gang of immigrants set about me by slicing into my eyes. While they were at it they put a new drainage system in to help try and stop me from going blind. They held my hand and played me ABBA songs while they did it. Thank god for immigrants. ❤️ #lovenothate
