The elections (both local and European) have made me rather unhappy. At work I've had people (nice people, that I like) tell me that they'd be voting UKIP without any sort of embarrassment. :(

(What strikes me is how diverse they are. The writer/director is German. Darcy is obv. British, as is the Editor (who happens to have cerebal palsy), the other Producer is Indian, and the Director of Photography is American. Let that cheer you for a moment, after the abysmal elections.)

Will now go hide under a rock. But if you have Facebook, would you mind sharing? Thank you.
