I don't have a problem with a big blue love-in tho'


That they then choose some names to give awards to as a sort of trolling tactic I'm ok with too


I thought the point of the article is that being in power, having lots of cash and hanging out with fellow tory-travellers doesn't bestow any level of coolness - which, it being GQ, is what it is trying too hard to be?

The tories are never cool being a 'lefty', but not neccessarily Labour is...for a young upcoming artist/comedia,/popstar saying you supported the tories would be near career suicide...though Adele said she hated paying so much tax. My suspicion is that many 'celebs' etc, are tory voters bur just keep stum. Out tories apart from the ancient celeb golfer set off the top of my head - Emin, Cracknell, Henman.....


Still redwedge was hardly cool... and in 1979 Paul Weller said he was going to vote Tory.

Only real propa old school Labour voted Labout in 1983*.... That was the 'longest suicide note in political history' manifesto


*polishes proper lefty credentials

Exactly. Especially if you do that covering-the-right-side-of-the-face-and-just-looking-at-the-left-side thing with his GQ pic - psychotic.

oh cool, either the erebus or the terror has been found. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29131757


Given that all i know about them i learned from Dan Simmons' horror novel of the same title (the terror) I look forward to the gory bits about canabilism and savage ice demons!!!

col infographic if you've ever wanted to tease apart the crazily complex web of relationships in the middle east. mind you it's a complex infographic naturally ;)

This has everything: the death of the hippy dream, walking is the new religion, modern life is rubbish, veggies are over and more.

That's quite interesting


As usual people come to a revelation on a personal level and think its the answer to all ills.

My guess, the guy's just unhappy and this hypothesis (which has a compellng ring to it I grant you) fits the questions he's asked.


Putting two and two together I reckon a vegetarian broke his heart ;)

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
