Most (though not all) of the arrangements were decided by the Gordon Brown government.


Probably, as you say, to piss off Galloway. And Dennis Skinner.

UKIP is the reason why universal suffrage isn't always to be celebrated.


A party with no policies or competence that gets a tick for government from 15% of the population.


I do them the favour of refusing to remember their names, Louisa does otherwise it seems.

It's not just religion, it's testosterone. MT had both as does TB.


A short true story.

An American friend of mine lives on her own on an island. When she was 98, she was taken poorly and taken to the mainland. They asked her what day it was, where she thought she was, and who was the President.

She got the first two, and refused to answer the third.

Getting very concerned for her mental health they kept asking her.

Finally, she yelled out, "Don't make me name that son of a bitch". (It was Geroge Dubbya).

She's about 101 now and doing fine.

Didn't see Tone today but he converted to catholicism when he was no longer PM. I felt this was a very similar move to Prunella Scales and Timothy West nailing their red colours to the mast as soon as their youngest left Alleyn's.

Whichever political party dares to withdraw tax payer funding from faith schools will get my vote- no other questions asked.

    • Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Dulwich: this is disgusting favouritism for the rich! It's disgraceful!!! Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Peckham: this is disgusting social cleansing! It's disgraceful!!! #SouthwarkDerangementSyndrome is real By the way, aficionados of prostitution and drugs will be happy to hear they remain a problem in the streets south of King's Cross station, just as they were when I lived there prior to gentrification. (To be clear: they weren't a problem because of my presence). I'm sure that will be a great relief to some of our friends on here that are scared knocking down a derelict building will turn Peckham into Royal Tunbridge Wells overnight.
    • I very much hope 'social cleansing' is not on the cards - the great value of Peckham is its rich mix of people both living and visiting the areas. If you mean removal or discouragement of criminal activity (including vandalism) then I would agree of course - and I would be very much in favour of actual cleaning in the area - the fact that Peckham is 'mixed class' is a good thing, surely (which is what 'social cleansing' often refers to). Kings Cross (which stimulated this part of the debate) had a very significant prostitution and drugs culture - with some elements of rack-renting and significant criminality. It was also far more 'run-down' and over a wider area) than the area around our station - even if that could do with more investment.
    • Yet we can. Given the development of the shopping centre, the expensive flats, lack of social hosing, closure of the stalls and hairdressers around the station to make room for the new square, I think it's quite clear where this is going.   It's not improving the area for the existing, its removal of the existing to make it better for the upgrade of the area.
