Brown heading back to Downing Street...for the last time?

BBC: "Labour MPs have not supported the move by Brown to offer lib dems AV without a prior referendum" Back in Cameron's court me thinks, but as you say BTF, it's a poisioned challice

Beaming smiles from Hague, Osborne and letwin as they re-enter talks with lib dems. Relief they're not going to be in government or joy at being on the cusp of power?

Strangeways? (that's a joke in case any lawyers are watching)

The SNP spokesman just being interviewed made me chuckle (closely followed by a large sigh) He said: "the Tories forming an alliance with lib dems would be a travestry for Scotland as 85% of Scots didn't vote for the Tories" Erm, and how many Scots didn't vote for for the SNP? 80% You gotta love the logic of minority parties...

I think most staunch party supporters don't care who their leader is, but the more floating voter (i.e. c.40% of the country) ARE influenced by who the leaders are, regardless of what the purists think. People are human afterall (well, mandleson excepted)

Brown just left downing street for house of commons. Discussions with lib dems on verge of breakdown or agreement nearly reached which brown needs to rubber stamp?

I made my vote last Thursday based on which leader of the country I wanted. I apologies profusely on behalf of the majority of the electroate.

Yep

Did he visit your house to apologise in person for 45 mins?

November? ;-)

Nope, I've checked and can't see any other Zola threads

Works for me

In the same way the Olympic medal awarding system is unfair to those who come 8th

What if the Conservatives offered a referendum on EU membership but didn't campaign on way or t'other (i.e. just let the electorate decide off their own backs). Would that appease UKIP voters?

That's cost Mandleson and Campbell a small fortune in stamps... ;-)

Zola

Have been reading some of this chap's work recently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Zola "Émile François Zola (French pronunciation: [emil zɔˈla]; 2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902) was an influential Frenchwriter, the most important exemplar of the literary school of naturalism and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J'Accuse." Much underated author if you ask me. Thoughts?

The 'Saints related' forum would be a little sparse if all wild rumours were banned...

Sorry....less haste more speed required on my part! :-) There's still the motoring forum available....

The impacts on the Technological world are huge IMHO
