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.

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
