I might have to print and frame this!

I voted remain.

Not much scope for prevention if all you want to do is lock people up for longer AFTER they've committed their crimes. It seems (from current reports) that Mair was armed with a home - made or...

This piece from the Spectator (Right-wing, pro-Brexit) is getting a lot of attention, summing up how the tone of the referendum is affecting the mood of the country.

Head to youtube and look for the american dubs. I find some of them quite jarring, especially the older episodes when the narrator is attempting a Scottish accent for some of the characters. He's no...

I was going to go with a 'twit'. Because while the article is obnoxious, he does get close to some interesting territory in regards to how in some places we're drifting towards a default attitude...

Ditto!

Humph! :) I'm going to maintain that whatever you may be able to stick on the letterhead, there's no actual 'empire' there!

As an aside, if the UK is an empire with our 14 mostly self-governing...

Nonsense. A scattering of 14 islands (British Overseas Territories), not all of them inhabited and with an open door to leave if they so feel like it, does not an empire make.

Ah sorry, I think I've just lost the thread of the thread!



Kieran, I really wish you'd stop using 'The British Empire'. It's long gone. Even if you consider the return of Hong Kong in '97 to...

Oh this is hilarious!

I think that you're over-egging this pudding. The government wields the monarch's powers in the name of the monarchy, the monarch's signing of legislation into law is merely formality and ceremony....

Well they can just get in the sea. (Which I believe is currently the coolest way of dismissing the opinions of uninformed idiots!)

Reading more of the post Corbyn-election analysis, it becomes apparent that Corbyn is a nice chap, but as a career politician of nearly 35 years he has never once sought out a position greater than...

I'm not sure. If Corbyn led Labour heads off to the left the Tories will sit comfortably on the centre-right with no need to move anywhere.

It all depends on what version of Labour's defeat in...

On a lighter note, one of my friends had a very close encounter with one of the bigger names from WBE's CSGOPOTD list yesterday:

Is it that time of the week again already?!



I really have no clue. I can see the problems with the 'establishment' candidates and the ideological appeal of Corbyn, but who will be the best...

I was thinking that, that is one desperate attempt to grow an authoritive moustache.

I don't blame her, this is going to hit the Tunisian tourist sector hard, which was probably part of the idea.

The number of Britons killed in the Tunisia attack is now expected to exceed 30.

It's a good piece. FPTP only works in a two party system and has clearly failed the UK in the last general election. The comparison between the differing levels of representation of the SNP, UKIP,...

A full life term is probably a cheaper option for the taxpayer than a merry go round of appeals and legal wrangling.

So, the election.

The good (because you should always start on a positive): The highest turnout since 1997, you can't say people haven't been engaged. Highest number of female and ethnic minority...

This. I think I might have fallen a wierd alternative dimension. (The UKIP fail is encouraging though).

You've got to feel for the poor sod who's sent to monitor the training.
