Yes but that wasn't a proper russian-style 'referendum' with gunmen going house-to-house making sure people filled in their papers correctly.

Here in York they've put up little notices everywhere, with a graphic of a person with crossed legs and some words about fines. The loos on the main drag were demolished years ago to make more room for the Christmas market.

Those love locks on bridges are awful. Not only do they look ugly and cause damage, but love is supposed to be voluntary and freely given, not locked up and constrained. So they're a shit metaphor as well.

You might google a description of the image, eg "immigrant biscuit cartoon" and find one that you can save to your phone or pc. Then use cable to transfer it to a memory thumb and take the thumb to a shop like Timpson's to print it. HOWEVER, first find out who made it so you can credit them!
