Used to have to queue at Thorpe Marriott.

I went down at 8pm tonight.

I'm sorry - there are ways and means for everyone. If there's a genuine cock up - for example names being left of lists, then that's different. Polling stations running out of ballot papers - that's different too.

People KNOWING the station closes at 10, knowing there was likely to be a higher turnout than normal, yet still leaving it until the last minute....sorry, no sympathy.
