As she said in her post, they do meet ups but they also have a forum and live chat facility for making contact over the internet. It is not a professional counselling service.

It is a public highway and for the public at large to use - it is not lawful for any one anti-social resident to claim a space as 'theirs'. Unfortunately, there will always be a handful of anti-social neighbours who will do this without any consideration for their community/neighbours.

Honestly, I would have though almost none. What's more it was a ridiculous potential net vote loser of a policy. a massive 84% of the UK population are reported to still be in favour of the fox hunting ban. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/fox-hunting-boxing-day-poll-opposition-all-time-high-theresa-may-hunting-ban-act-vote-a7495336.html The policy would have put way more people off voting Conservative than would have been swayed into voting for them under false pretences hoping there would be a (pointless and bound to fail) free vote on repealing the ban. I also think that of the very few people that actively yearn for the reinstatement of fox hunting (as opposed to those who might support it but don't really give a toss) most of them probably would have voted Tory anyway, whether or not there would have been a free vote. I think they would recognise from the polls that there is no way parliament would have legalised fox hunting even if there had been a vote - therefore it was all a bit academic. Actually, pretty bizarre May should think it a live issue anymore. Shows just how stupid she is.
  8. She's just awkward around people (always has been) and completely out of her depth (just as she was as Home Secretary, but the buck didn't stop with her then, so she could try to keep under the radar).
  9. No, I'm not - I just misread your post, for which I apologise - my mistake.
  10. Ha ha - actually, my name is derived from the first thread I ever posted on - about people robbing from bins outside houses - hence rob-bin.

Make your mind up! Were you "knocked over" or only "almost" knocked down?

Now, that is a stupid question! What on earth makes you think I don't know what the question was? Obviously I've read the other thread - otherwise I wouldn't have commented. Seems on the other thread you took an overly sensitive position and as a consequence asked a daft question.

You think it might be libel to point out someone who speaks out strongly against private education but sends her own children to one of the poshest most expensive private school in the UK?

As you well know, Rendel he hasn't - which presumably is why you chose to single him out. As you equally well know, his closest two supporters and until today Shadow Cabinet members (the would be Chancellor and the would be Home Secretary in charge of Police and MI5) both supported disbanding MI5 and armed Police. Corbyn belongs to the same group as them and with full knowledge of their views promoted them to the highest possible positions of potential power in this country. Corbyn clearly is not at all concerned with their stance and in fact has refused to disagree with it or condemn it. He clearly sympathised with them or he would never have contemplated putting them where they are (although obviously passing over your ex-mistress could, I appreciate, be a bit difficult). So, Rendel, you may pick away all you like but you and I and everyone else who is not being purposely intellectually dishonest. knows the point I was making. Until a few months ago (as countless posts of yours show) you would have agreed with me they are a bad bunch to be in power. For some reason, like our would be PM Theresa (who, by the way I do not support) you appear to be happy to make some pretty surprising u-turns when it suits you.

Not really. The over excited teenage schoolboy arousal has been far more entertaining over the last few days.

    I'm going to lose sleep saying this, as it's you Louisa, but I think you have made yourself clear - Snorky is just being mischievous.

    As well as those of you who have spent the last year slagging off Jezza and now appear to have had a road to Damascus moment about him and are praying he becomes PM.
