Speaking of money that milkshake cost 5 pounds and the guy throwing it is a call centre worker on minimum wage. If Jacob Rees-Mogg worked in a call centre he wouldn't spend 5 pounds on a milkshake and then spill it. That's why he earns 7 million and you don't.
I suspect the best education money could buy may have helped this haunted pencil on his way.

Jacob Rees-Mogg earnt 7 million from working in a call centre? Or did he earn the 7 million from not spilling milkshakes?
It's a specialist call centre for the discerningly wealthy individuals with outlet now in Dublin for continuity of trade

Well, I hear you can make good money on that. Surprised it's as much as 7 million, but it is not my place to judge.

Quite a turnout here, I mean the polling station wasn't heaving or anything but it was close to referendum sort of traffic and a lot more than the local elections. Saw some pretty determined looking marches towards the place - I made a few internal judgements on appearance, but whether they were mostly Brexiteers determined to restate their desires remains to be seen...
Well, I asked around and, basically, I'm the only one I know, who doesn't hold a Brexit opinion, that voted.
Everyone else was "what's the point?" and "I'm not bothering". Folks that have, in any Brexit discussions, considered the whole thing a total mess (and seem to be Remainers - though, of course, everyone's right to keep their vote secret in a democratic election is something that's important to uphold and, if you don't volunteer, I won't ask).
But, of course, that's in no way a statistically significant sample size there. It could be totally unrepresentative - but I've got a feeling that Brexiteers have marched to the polling booths to protest, while Remainers have thought "this is pointless" and not bothered turning up.
(Though that would be ironic to the Brexiteer narrative that they're perpetual victims - even though they fucking won! - as that would be Remainers conceding to the fact that we will leave and, thus, any MEPs elected really won't be in their seats long enough to actually matter.)
Also, I don't know about your ballot sheets, but mine had about 5 or 6 varieties of Brexit party to vote for. So there's certainly the possibility that the Brexiteers have split their vote by having so many horses in the race.
Very "Judean People's Front", basically. Who says it's only the left that ends up eating itself?
Fascists do that too, as their very ideology is all about how everyone else just isn't good enough for them. As I said before, it's all just one big false dichotomy anyway.
Anyway, as there's so many countries involved and the result won't be announced until it's all tallied up everywhere, then we won't know until Sunday.

Not entirely sure of the services Somerset Capital management offer but you seem to have some interesting ides

They don’t have organisation needed to run a GE campaign.
BUT! Batten’s quitting as UKIP leader next week. I reckon there’s the chance of a moderate candidate getting the role and a UKIP / Brexit Party merger in the offing.
I can’t see any other way Farage can get together the candidates needed and a manifesto for them to run under if there’s a GE this year.

I hope you’re right - but they’ve already run their campaign. The pro-Brexit bunch are so obsessed with it at this point that they don’t need to see policies or manifestos - they just need to hear “No deal!” and “The main parties have betrayed Brexit!”.
In other news, Survation (regarded as one of the more reliable pollsters) has this to offer:
"Imagine there was a referendum tomorrow with the question 'Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?' How would you vote?"

50.4% ~ Leave
49.6% ~ Remain
.. and the thing is, they are probably correct they SHOULD be not but I have the feeling that's probably how it would end up
Which again 'solves nothing'.
[edit] <sarcasm>I have an idea, let's split the country in two, North UK is not part of EU, South UK is part of EU ... </sarcasm> ...
