    Did he remove your temporal lobe as well?

    Tom Farron, former leader of the LIBERAL Democrats has clarified that oh yeah, gay sex is a sin, that he regrets saying otherwise, and that people in his party didn't understand the issue. Clown.

    A chinese proverb for you. If the ex-leader of the Lib Dems tells a radio station that he thinks gay sex is a sin, is anyone actually listening?

    Wasn't binning stop and search originally a Conservative wheeze to get certain 'communities' on side? I suppose it works insofar as you end up with less of them to vote against you, but it seems like a rather necessary evil (mild inconvenience) as long as stabbings are commonplace.

    2 and a bit years in between those headlines. Now, it's a fairly dramatic 'policy' shift, and far be it from me to defend The Sadiq Leader, but things can change (I have no idea if they have). Stop and search is an absolute bullshit 'power' the police routinely abuse though.

    Don't know but the UKIP Spokesman for Sport has resigned in disgust over it so you know it's BIG NEWS.

    He should have said something along the lines of 'We don't have much time to talk about politics' and WAAAAAAAYed his way out of it. Or UKIP could just give up. Either one really.

    UKIP don't want anyone near them who might possibly entertain the though of racism. Personally, they've won their one fight. They might as well go full racist.

    There's nothing about that whole UKIP bloke story that makes any sense.

    Archetypal boorish looking 54 year old ex-police/TA dweeb defects from the fucking Liberal Democrats to take over a political party with almost diametrically opposed views and somehow snaffles a 25 year old model girlfriend on the way. Between her, and that Britain First one Boydy has a thing for, there appears to be some mileage in racism as an aphrodisiac.

    Top story this:

    Britain’s statistical agency has made mistakes in its measurement of the telecoms sector, failing to spot huge cost-efficiencies of up to 90 per cent over a five-year period, it admitted this week. The error, which covers the period from 2010-2015, means that inflation statistics may have been significantly too high and economic growth figures too low, calling into question the consumer price index and retail price index, which help determine pay and pension increases.
    In short, years worth of economic figures (and with them the NARRATIVE) might be bollocks.

    I wonder how often things like that happen. Measuring growth and gdp and whatnot sounds like a nightmare to me. It is probably all made up bollocks.

    If the bus was so crucial, why didn't Remain make their own bus and put a bigger number on it?

    People are saying it'd be in the middle of a shipping lane. Easy - just build it a mile high.

    I'd dig a road tunnel though (not literally, I don't even have a spade).

    I'd completely forgotten about the boats. Make it one of those raising bridges like the tower of london. Should only add on a couple of trillion and a completely new form of engineering to do.

    I can't zoom in enough to know why it's being suggested. Is there an issue with the Channel Tunnel?

    It's a great example of the Tories being lower than vermin, as Nye Bevan eloquently put it. Stuffing money into the pockets of their mates while the NHS isn't getting the investment it needs.

    And the market is never in fact, free.

    How are you supposed to pronounce Nye? Fucking Welsh and their stupid names.

    While we're eating the rich.



    31k per renter.

    “We know that this work and the costs are unwelcome,” FirstPort, Proxima’s agent, told leaseholders. “However, as your property manager, our first priority has to be your safety.”

    It also warned that the longer they resist the charges and works are delayed “the more it will cost you in other charges such as fire wardens or scaffold costs”.
    It's like the upper tiers of society are trying to actively cause an uprising against them.
