Latest tweeting from the President ?Pathetic excuse by London mayor Sadiq Khan, who had to think fast on his ?no reason to be alarmed? statement. [Mainstream media] is working hard to sell it!?

Use chipboard instead :)

Years ago you could call mark from anywhere on the pitch - you had to actually make a mark though. I could see it going to be honest.

Someones written "Theresa" all down the Cerne Abbas Giant's private parts. Meanwhile Theresa May is speaking at a home removals firm :)

Maybe we should consider compulsory voting. Nobody could complain then and the polls wouldn't have to make calculations on who would vote :) Not sure what happens to those (in Australia) for instance who don't vote.

Wow - I didn't realise but there are some modifications to the laws (again) - the 2 main ones If the referee gives a penalty and the clock is now past the 80th minute and into the red a side now has the option to kick to touch and take a lineout. If a player has one foot in touch and one foot in the field of play and catches the ball it was deemed last season his lineout because it was already in touch. This season it will be deemed to be the opposition lineout I saw the second one happen on Saturday.

Don't think he'll split the squad until the Maori match Playing pairs for the Blues - English 2nd row, Welsh Halfbacks, Irish Centers.

Another one (referred to as Abs the press) was reported multiple times, thrown out of his mosque and pictured with a ISIS flag in Regents Park. Nigel and Katie suggested internment of the entire watch list on Fox News and even Fox News distanced themselves from them.

Trump hates Sadiq Khan but he jumped the gun with his tweet on Sunday.

I know about it (from here) - but Rye Lane is such chaos everyone just makes do. I still remember some guy getting flattened by a bus wing mirror.

Anyway Australia has a Land Tax https://www.finance.wa.gov.au/cms/State_Revenue/Land_Tax/What_is_Land_Tax_.aspx#rate_scale Notice the scale shows up to 300,000 A$ the tax is a flat rate of 0 A$, from 300,000 to 420,000 it's a flat rate of 300 A$ then it hits 0.25 % etc.

It isn?t being proposed as an additional tax, but as a potential replacement for council taxes and/or business rates. So people taking up the most land (never mind what's built on it) pay more - OK by me in my small footprint flat And originally proposed by Adam Smith :)

How on earth do you get the above figures from "We will initiate a review into reforming council tax and business rates and consider new options such as a land value tax." https://fullfact.org/economy/labours-land-value-tax-will-you-have-sell-your-garden/

Lots of flies always where I live - it's the food shops. Sorry - fly spray and they don't die - just fly back out. I appreciate it's not environmentally friendly.

Thoughts to anyone caught up. Southwark is a great borough and will still stay liberal.

Next weekend at the EDT :)

There was a little "We love Corbyn" chant in the Great Exhibition late last night Awwwww :):)

Well the Student who said to Corbyn at BBC interviews that he needed Zero Hour contracts to feed himself. He turned out to be a posh nob - really posh and very rich.

Faisal Islam has just tweeted that the Mori/Ipsos poll that gave Tory 45 Labour 40 WAS adjusted for likely turnout (age). The raw data was Labour 43 Tories 40

I notice the Standard has been putting a Labour headline on the early edition and a Tory one on the later edition Probably George playing games.

YouGov are closer to the raw figures - assuming more young people will vote. A few things have changed though - young people being targeted (grime4corbyn etc), Corbyn is supposed (as a campaigning left winger) - to appeal to youngsters. He's promised to remove tuition fees - that's a big one for them.
