    General Election 2015

    I agree. The worst possible results, IMHO, are a majority government for either the Tories or Labour. Don't get me wrong - the Lib Dems have nodded through some pretty awful Tory decisions, but I am absolutely certain that had we instead had a Tory majority government since 2010 things would be...

    ***Worlds Hardest Creature VIII Group C PLAY OFF***

    I find it hard to argue with the principle of your argument... apart from the fact you still haven't offered any reason why the Seagull is harder than a Hornet (aside from the literal comparison of the mythical hornet). Even if you don't like the seagull-sized hornet way of looking at it...

    ***Worlds Hardest Creature VIII Group C PLAY OFF***

    As I say, what's the alternative then? Biggest animal wins, simple as that? What a FARCE this competition would be if that was how it worked.

    ***Worlds Hardest Creature VIII Group C PLAY OFF***

    What? 30 hornets kill 1,000 bees EACH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ1eAM8CChc This sting ain't no defence! 30 attack 30,000, and win. As for those making the ridiculous argument that a Seagull would eat a Hornet - the WHC is POUND FOR POUND*. Compare a seagull with a seagull-sized...

    General Election 2015

    The TV debates are now set to feature SEVEN parties, with the Greens, SNP & Plaid Cymru all being invited: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jan/22/bbc-and-itv-set-to-expand-party-leader-debates-to-include-greens-snp-and-plaid-cymru We're still behind Sweden though - they had eight in theirs...

    ***Worlds Hardest Creature VIII GROUP D***

    I can't believe the hipsters' bird is winning the group - but as the Mamba, Shrimp & Tardigrade are (currently) on course to follow it through to the next round I don't think we can argue too much. Remind me though, how does the next round work - is it seeded (group winners play 4th placers...

    It is damn close, so I'm here with one last push for the hornet. There's exactly what we're talking about - 30 hornets take on the bees - and kill one thousand each. They're bigger - but they're not 1,000 times bigger. #VoteHornet

    PMQ on now...

    Maybe some kind of reform that requires the PM to actually answer the questions asked? It's pointless if every question is "answered" by a put-down that doesn't actually address what was asked. EDIT - even the polite "answers" are anything but. One of the politest exchanges today: Q: Does the...

    General Election 2015

    By itself, it wont - the 1951 election you mention gave the Tories a majority so they had no motivation to do anything. However if it happens, leaving neither party with a majority then they'll both try to claim they have a mandate to form a government (either a minority one or by forming a...

    General Election 2015

    I see what you mean, but I wonder if Caroline Lucas winning last time could make the difference. They are sensibly concentrating on a small number of seats - and if a large part of the campaign is making the argument "We really do have a chance here" I reckon they could well pick up a few seats...

    General Election 2015

    If you put faith in them knowing their stuff, the bookies have Caroline Lucas as short as 8/15 to keep her seat. Mind you, they have Clegg at 1/3 to keep his and everyone keeps saying that's under threat - so either the press & public don't really know much, or there's some cracking value to...

    General Election 2015

    I'm no happier than you that Ashcroft's poll shows the Tories in the lead but - genuine question - why does the ICM seem more 'reasonable' - is it just because Labour are leading? As an aside - the average from both polls has both the Libs and Greens tied on 10%. The "Green Surge" does seem to...

    Vote for Connor Tighe (Albion U-18) for December goal of the month

    I agree - absolutely brilliant goal and fully deserves to win

    ***Worlds Hardest Creature VIII GROUP C***

    Quite. Never mind pound for pound, even at actual size I'm sure either a Jellyfish or a Japanese Giant Hornet would take out a Seagull in a fight. Maybe there's a side competition for the comedy winner of each group - Tabby Cat, Seagull...

    Your Brighton team against Ipswich Wednesday

    I want COG and Colunga up front. There were about six Brentford defenders when the two of them broke through on Saturday, but COG still controlled the ball and set Colunga up for a cracking effort that needed an equally cracking save from the keeper. Get them both on the field and we'll score...

    Tickets now SOLD OUT. http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/brighton-hove-albion-arsenal-sold-out-2215715.aspx#sHTI7eK3FXeGXBLp.99 Which leads Paul Barber to say: Call me cynical, but given that we announce tickets sold as the attendance, isn't it true that you already know whether it'll be...
