I fast forward through advertisements although I've noticed All4 forces you to watch them - means I tend to watch little All4

Someone just tweeted to say Boris is now known amongst his team as "Skipper" Not because he's Captain but because he keeps skipping hustings and interviews.

They've done it again - https://www.labourmanifesto.co.uk/ dirty tories :)

Wales, Golf and Madrid In that order :)

Hmmm yes - as a chrome user I might not be the best advice and I tend to clear out everything about once a year but this page might help - it claims the "refresh" option doesn't lose bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Clear the cache/history ? https://support.mozilla.org/gu-IN/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache You may well have already done this.

Labour meanwhile are offering all public sector workers a 5% pay rise come April 2020. I liked their 2017 manifesto but can we really afford that as it seems a lot (or is there some small print). Fully costed though apparently.

Oh and this morning Boris seemed to be peering through a toilet seat (or maybe it was a wheel) he looked stupid anyway.

People died for our right not to vote and to stay in the pub to be truly honest. It's up to those two great politicians Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn to persuade us to vote - if we don't you can make your own judgement on what is being said.

Someone tried to argue it was fake (I don't think so). 17 might be different in the states to the UK (TV seems to suggest that) - but it is alleged that is the tip of the iceberg and the consensual thing seems a question too. I think weight of accusations makes a difference - Kevin Spacey is still technically innocent too. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/kevin-spacey-sexual-assault-case-death-accuser-massage-therapist-a9177121.html

Yet legally that's not a problem even if you're a teacher (as long as they aren't under your care) https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/nov/15/tribunal-awards-700k-to-headteacher-sacked-over-gay-dating-app-activity

Zoopla has started pushing values up again (I know that's not exactly definitive)

Official FactCheckerUK: Boris was absolutely brilliant, Corbyn was useless. (very small print) FactcheckerUK is run by the Conservative Party Press.

He shouldn't have said he doesn't regret his friendship with Epstein - that was silly to say. But he told the Queen it all went really well (and was overheard telling her)

I think there maybe a different voting pattern in marginals compared to seats like Camberwell & Peckham where Labour is holding up. I think the London overall count will still show Labour ahead.

Laurence Fox has been annoying Dulwich residents (can see the whole thing on iphone but paywall on times) - he's been wearing a MAGA hat apparently. "in bourgeois Dulwich there were horrified reactions. ?One guy slammed a door on me and said, ?You shouldn?t do that, that?s disgusting?. Another woman came up to me and said, ?You?re crazy!?

Yes - but they are pro-leave last time I checked on twitter. But being as I've got a 24 hr ban for reminding Boris not to choke on the teabag he doesn't remove from his cup everything may have changed.
