Can I have the 8 hrs sat in a council hall listening to the dullest people ever back please? I mean seriously, who the hell ever thinks I want to be a councilor? Even worse the place was packed with people coming to listen to them. You must have to be such a jumped up self obsessed bastard.

Still a massive lol at the protesters.
