A Polly Tonybee tweet! 33 words of rubbish beats a whole column of it...I see Twitter has its advantages after all

..far better than Torville or Dean

Scottish Mafia in Dovercourt I've heard

Mick I've been thinking about this, you should do it in February. That's a low party time of the year and it's a short month. You could shave it down to about 5 days or so.

Can someone post Lawro's that'd be fun. Come on RD, you're in charge of the admin on here :)

Stop SHOUTING

David - your political will bit gives the game away. The point is it's not really what the people want YET - and not becuase there's some capitalist crony car lobby hoodwinking us all - however frustrating that is to you as a socialsit who wants the state to decide for us rather tha us have the choice. Incidentally, all those countries that have thrown off the yoke 'of people on high that know best' for political freedom have a) got richer b) got more cars. Singapore is a lol example. I've only been there once but reclaimed streets teaming with kids playing? mmm not anywhere near where I was or went. Their car policy reflects the fact that they had rampant congestion and it's still there - and that's where your solution will come when it get's unbearable. They've also plenty of money to invest in Public Transport (and I don't remember it being all that) as they don't have a welfare state or NHS. To be absolutely clear before you jump in I do NOT want a society without either of those thanks. Happy to move this debate elsewhere as we've hijacked a thread about a decent initiative

Peckham rye skate park etc

Predictions?

the 'car lobby' (who ever that is?) or just the fact that majority of people if they have the means seem to like owning cars for a variety of reasons, mainly but not entirely practical. And we haven,t yet had a a government in power who feels it's their duty to social engineer us plebs out of this nasty capitalist habit and certainly one that's ever had the money to invest enough in Public Transport (and we are talking at least quadrupling the budget to even start making a chink in the 95% of passenger journys done by private car (or there abouts last time I looked at the National Travel Survey).

...and all the rest have 31 except October alone which has 20.....according to Mick

Hopefully on iplayer as i am on the plane

England very poor even by normal standards. All together now "5th in the world.......

Article looks interesting SJ but, disobeying rule 1 by not having finished it yet, I think 33 words makes decent debating on Twitter absolutely impossible. It's just a place for sloganeering.....something which IMO the left is far more prone too than the non-left* why I think twitter is so popular with my normal band of stereotypes :) *deliberate choice of words

After 3 years with a dormant account the words of a few people whose judgement I trust (ahem) HAS persuaded me to give it a go and I have for a few weeks. I can see it 'a bit' but to be honest that has mainly been using as a liveaccompaniment to things I am watching and occasionally for breaking news. Can't see me tweeting or following friends or stoopid celebrities but the trending thing is kind of interesting and I,ve used it for follwing my work issues which has been ok. still a bit meh to me but now engaging a bit and will persevere.

Er, asking about an area you are thinking of moving to is completely legit.What a load of worthy righteousness from the respondents to the OPs questions. You really don't think about an area you are moving to? Yeah, right. Worthy hypocrites.

Absolute rubbish H and SF. An heir to the throne with far wider access to politicians than you and I should not be 'overtly' political and certainly shouldn't have his potentially political interference 'hidden', which is what is happening Ian this case. It IS an affront to democracy. He can't have his cake and eat it unless he wants to end up like that other monarch who was keen on letting us eat cake.

yup,you certainly don't...that large corporation being the the UK governemnt (83%).
