Went to The Castle last night. They now only have the very cold Guinness and the ordinary kind seems to have gone. Just before 9pm the music was turned up from behind the bar to such a high volume I couldn't stand to sit in there any longer. We took our pints outside, drank them and went elsewhere. Sorry for the neighbours if that is going to be the way of things now.

The "Cut Above" name is just genius for a tree surgeon :)

Yes but it is not clear what uncleglen thinks is a regular occurrence. Clearly the example he gives is quite different to the op one and I hardly think anybody would report his.

Please clarify. Are you suggesting that because "it has been happening with disgusting monotonous regularity" that therefore incidents shouldn't be reported?

If a Tory, then Theresa May.

Surely May is the only one with any credibility?

Yes I agree, but the way things are going anything could happen. So I'm not sure about pressing the button.

WTF?!?!?! Yes, May. ETA: Bloody hell, I put my mobile away for a couple of hours and it all kicks off :)) I effing hate Gove.

It's just possible that somebody other than the business owner put the sign there, I suppose. Clutching at faint straws, as presumably if that was the case the owner would, one hopes, have removed it.

Why should he resign? He was elected with a massive mandate. He can't lead his own party because a load of MPs have staged a coup which apparently had been being planned for weeks, nothing to do with the referendum result. Yes the country needs a strong opposition, not bloody Tory Lite MPs who have moved way way away from what Labour is supposed to stand for. They have demonstrated - more than once - that they cannot win an election. Yet Corbyn has to go because he's "unelectable"? Shomething wrong shomewhere shurely. Anyway I'm off now, it's bad enough keeping up with discussions on Facebook :)) :)) :))

Unfortunately, living in London I don't think we necessarily appreciate what's going on outside it :(

I was at the rally on Monday. Despite some media reports (the BBC said a thousand, Metro said even less - though carefully omitting to print a picture of the crowd), Parliament Green was absolutely rammed. Looking around, there were people apparently from all walks of life, all ages, a fantastic mix. Jeremy Corbyn's speech at the end was totally inspiring - at least, it inspired me - though he must have been totally drained after the PLP meeting. Labour's backbone has always been the grassroots, and the PLP appear to be out of touch with what party members actually want. I don't think it's possible now to have any kind of united party. Labour will have to split into the Tory Lite crew (appeal to the centre? They haven't done at the last few general elections) and the people who want to have a new, less aggressive and more honest kind of politics under Corbyn. And that latter group may well pull in people not presently aligning themselves with Labour, such as some of those presently voting Green. I can't say I'm optimistic for the future of this country, but I do have a (very) small, flickering glimmer of hope that honesty, decency and tolerance might win through at some point.

I saw this on Facebook. I think it's a great idea. An easy way to show that you are NOT about to insult (to put it most negatively, perhaps that you show solidarity with is better) anybody who might look or speak differently to you. http://indy100.independent.co.uk/article/safetypin-the-simple-way-you-can-show-solidarity-with-the-uks-foreignborn-population--ZJzeRPz6kHW ETA: I always knew I'd find a use some day for my box of safety pins :))
