The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this realm of Albion. I'm fine with some free wine and wafers, mind you.

We won't agree but as far as I can see you are simply advocating a constitutional coup d'etat.

Did the Con-Dems stand on a joint ticket ? No Did they give the electorate the chance to decide if they supported a coalition by holding fresh elections ? No. The Liberals have made 5 years of a extremist right-wing attempt to destroy the Welfare State possible. They have supported regressive...

I don't remember anyone voting for the last five years of Con-Dem government & I am certain the Liberals will be punished for that. The Tories meanwhile have failed to win a majority since April 1992.

Most legislation eventually knocks through to Scotland although a more federal UK would tend to answer that. One could, of course, make the same point about the Tories and the DUP/UUP

Used to be a very decent pub until it decided to deafen it's patrons.

Fair enough but there will clearly be legislation both in the the current Parliament and the next that has a direct impact on Scotland, so it's hard to see why they should not express their views. Any unionist party (and all three main parties are) would be very two faced to campaign to maintain...

Why should he rule out a confidence and supply arrangement ? Are we now being told Scottish MPs should have no say at Westminster ?

They were forced to abandon the Football Spectators Act 1989 which would have made ID cards obligatory by pressure from supporters. Moynihan was still referring to fans as the "effluent tendency" in 1990. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm198990/cmhansrd/1990-06-27/Orals-1.html

Agree that it's not all about Duckenfield. Chief Constable Peter Wright was in ultimate charge both at Hillsborough and Orgreave. It was Wright's decision to pursue 95 miners on charges of riot, which carries a potential life sentence. As people will remember the prosecutions fell apart after...

Agree and I think Menon will demonstrate that the web of lies and deceit goes far further than Duckenfield appalling as he is.

The level of support for both parties might suggest that but IMO the FPTP system makes it very difficult for national support to translate into seats for minor parties.

FGM and male circumcision are very different. In my experience those that want to ban boys being circumcised are usually pursuing other agendas.

" It was the beginning of the creation of a false narrative that sought to blame the Liverpool fans for what happened and sought to conceal the truth about your failings and the failings of other senior South Yorkshire police officers" Rajiv Menon QC to former Chief Superintendent David...

If the polls from 12 February to 12 March are taken into account Labour would be the largest party but around 27 seats short of an absolute majority: Labour 299 Tories 265 LibDem 17 SNP 46 Greens 1 UKIP 1 PC 3 NI parties 18

And just to add some inconvenient facts to the bin fest http://www.unhcr.org.uk/news-and-views/news-list/news-detail/article/new-unhcr-report-says-global-forced-displacement-at-18-year-high.html Of all the world's major refugee hosting countries only one (Germany) is actually in Europe.

Should this not start in 1922 with the creation of (Trans)Jordan in the majority of historical Palestine ? The 1949- 1967 map also shows "Palestine" rather than Jordanian occupied West Bank and Egyptian occupied Gaza. That all said, I don't see this ending as anything other than a blood soaked...

You're probably right.

Utter cobblers as usual. Do you actually know any Jews ?

When Islamic terrorists carry out acts of violence there is an immediate chorus from right-wingers that all Muslims must publicly condemn such acts and if they fail to do they clearly support them. The point of the post was to bounce that back on someone who who posts right-wing views and see...
