I'm sure they are rising in opinion polls. But it won't materialise, it never does with them. They are too one issue, one man.

I don't know. I'd say those who have worked in the city have one perspective of economics, but certainly don't know it all. Nobody knows it all Dune.

I believe the guy from the housing authority and Simon Hughes, who regularly has to deal with the paperwork in social housing. After all they have life experience in this and I thought that was the most important thing of all!

Ouchy. Better not give an opinion then. You are of course right Dune, as always thanks to your superior life experience of 4 times as many posts as me in 3 years less on an internet forum. We must have a lot in common in life experience.

He hasn't said how it is though. He got his facts wrong and the guy who works for the housing authority and Hughes caught him out on this and frankly for someone who is part of a party that focuses on immigration, it was embarrassing for him.

That wasn't his argument. His argument was that anyone can simply waltz into this country and get into social housing within 2 weeks without even bothering to work. He got caught out and schooled. Facts don't suit him. Just own up and admit this has been a very weak performance from him.

See the lounge thread for my response.

Nigel Farage just got absolutely schooled. Completely destroyed. Utter lightweight who clearing knows nothing about the rules. The guy from the housing authority in the audience and Simon Hughes debunked him completely. How very embarrassing. What a weak performance from him. All shout and no substance.

I know. You think I would miss Nigel Farage making a fool of himself?

I spend far too much time on here, but I have an excuse. I'm on a gap year before Uni, so don't have a ridiculous amount to do except my job. Perhaps you are just nervous?

Oh of course, every day. I have many identical pairs of chinos and blue hoodys. Me and my friends often go out wearing hats and synchronising our clothes.

Yer, in addition to my chinos and blue hoody.

What a bizarre reply. When did I once mention politics? I've only mentioned the science which is backed up by tonnes of evidence. Just because I don't agree with you, why does it mean I have come to the conclusion. Though I suspect if you actually looked at the evidence, you would quickly see that the greenhouse effect is fact. This crosses the political spectrum and I'm sad for you that you've placed it in a box of left right politics again. And what has you having kids got to do with looking at scientific evidence? Oh, and I also don't have shares in an oil company. Good for us.

Perhaps in cosmic based science you may have a point, but in the type of science the greenhouse effect is based upon, not really. It is very solid... it's not an idea which as of yet is unproven like the M theory etc

I never said UKIP is racist. I said the National Front are...

And your opinion and instinct doesn't matter in science. It's based on experimental evidence. Come back when you have some.

There are some things which are just fact though. I won't bother to go into how molecules are made up, and infra-red spectroscopy and so on, but this stuff is solid fact backed up by more evidence than you can imagine.

True that. But there's sometimes at least one good thing for him to light up to. Something the Liberals have done or what not, a question asked by one of their backbenchers. I wonder if Jeremy Hunt would still be in his job if he were a Lib Dem.

On what basis do you say this? What scientific studies to have to back this up? I suspect none, and that your suspicions are based on nothing more than some stupid whim. Again, if you know something that modern science doesn't, please contact your nearest academic institution and get your findings written up soon and receive your Nobel prize!

I feel sorry for Nick Clegg today. He didn't know what face to pull, and so just looked incredibly miserable and uncomfortable.

I wasn't citing the Mail out of support for my views! Just stating that it is influential on the psyche of the nation, and if they are on Hunt's back, surely his time is nearly over.

Well, surely that's Hunt gone if the Mail are getting in on the act? He seems to have been caught red handed. Somewhere, Vince Cable is very happy.

I expect so too. People are happy to take science when it says something positive and helps theirs lives, but when it is slightly inconvenient, they just dismiss it. It's pretty high stakes.

How the **** did they win that?

Obviously there are other factors in the Earth's temperature, but without the Greenhouse Effect, the earth would be uninhabitable with an average temperature well below zero, so we mess with it at our peril. It is a delicate system in equilibrium and like all equilibriums, it can only be pushed so far before it breaks. I don't know why everyone attempts to say science is wrong on this when they quite happily use everything else science has given them.
