But you are voting for a local MP, not a party. We don't have a presidential system . The pm is the person who can command a majority in the commons, therefore if the torys want to change leaders they are fully entitled to, your mp will remain the same person. You cant start putting rules in place about how long someone can serve, if they command a majority they can serve for as long as they want. They step down because they realise theyll become an electrol liability , nothing else. Theyre all obsessed with how history will judge them. The party leader may not even get elected to the commons ( certainly possible in cleggs case) , or even not be a member of the commons as in Bennett and Farage.

Why on earth would anyone leave a game when there's a chance of a result altering goal? I couldn't walk away from a game if I was a neutral and it was in the balance , so really don't see how a supporter could . At QPR the male of a couple stood next to my nipper said " this has got 0-0 all over it" when the injury time board went up and the women said "let's go" . They then both walked out . Of course they missed Mane's winner, plus the excitement at the end , with a disallowed goal ect . Of course they have the right to leave or do what they want , but I personally would prefer a proper football supporter to have had those 2 tickets . You can not call yourself a proper supporter if you can leave or turn off any game that's 0-0 heading into injury time, let alone one with a team you're meant to be following is involved . Saturdays game was a done deal on 85 mins , but the same people stream out of the ground near me regardless of the score. Even the Chelsea game where we were hanging on for dear life . I'm sure they've all got excuses but personally I think it's pathetic .

Its now being reported that Hedge fund GLC donated 16k to Ed's leadership campaign in 2010. It is also noted that this particular hedge fund is registered in the tax haven of Bermuda. Its also breaking that the fund headed by martin Taylor , whose donations were selflessly given for the good of the country. Nevsky Capital has $15 million invested in the shares of the US private healthcare giant United Health, which is bidding for NHS contracts… Of course there is no double standards in claiming the Torys are the party of Mayfair Hedge funds and tax avoiders , whilst taking 16k from a Mayfair hedge fund that avoids tax. And absolutely no double standards in claiming the Torys want to privatise the NHS for their friends to bid for, whilst accepting money from the boss of a hedge fund bidding for NHS contracts, none at all.

They may not be involved in that particular incident, bit they lend their name to the campaign that did. I was totally against all that Michael foot and his ilk stood for , but I would defend his free speech every single day. I just don't get why lefties and Tory wets are sio offended by ukip . There is a cigarette paper between ukip immigration policy and the establishment policy for non eu citizens . Surely it's inconceivable that having restrictions on everyone is racist , whereas resteriions on everyone bar 27 countries is not . Every single party advocates restrictions on immigrants , why is ukip's the only racist one ?

Firstly I've had a Farage type lunchtime so you'll have to excuse any grammatical errors. The huffingtin post article is nothing to do with my original post on the subject . You posted it as a defence of labour double standards . Are you trying to say that Graham didn't use the words " labour is open to the charge of hypocrisy over this " ? The people who disrupted Nigel's family " claim" on their web site support from those named. It's all over twitter . They clearly weren't there, but support these scumbags. Why is the lefts belief in free speech conditional ? Nigel may say thongs that are unpalatable to some , but he has the right to say it and he has the right to have a Sunday lunch with his family . Their website is standuptoukip.org

In the spirt of equality perhaps pap could let is know about goat , has he got nice tits and what's his arse like .

But in the same interview he said that labour were "Open to the charge of hypocrisy " , that's establishment speak for double standards . I thought it was strange you made no mention of that . In other news people supported by Abbott , Livingston and red Ken the union man , frightened Nigel's wife and kids in his local today . Nigel is one politician that doesn't use his children and it's disgraceful that rent a mob disrupted his lunchtime in his local . I bet it 80 kippers had turned up and ruined Dave's chipping norton sets suppers the media would be having a field day.

Gerrards heat map.

Lol, his retirement tour is going well. Team get better without him, then he's sent off after a minute in their biggest game.

I was hoping for description of Lou from Pap. Bit concerning that there was a bit more detail revealed after the Bazza Sanchez meet. Come on Pap, would you?

Funny how you missed out the "hypocrisy " part of his quote.

Did anyone pull Lou?

I thought his kicking was pretty accurate today , he does fanny about with it ( as does Forster) , and he doesn't have the length , but he found Pelle quite well. I always prefer an old pro on the bench , they'll prepare for every game properly and be ready to come on in the right state of mind . Super Kelv showed that today , he was calm, assured and professional . God help us if Gazza has to come on , hopping and jumping around like a cat on a hot tin roof . The back 4 will have zero confidence in him . Not ideal , but Kelvin will have to do .

I read various statements including the one from Alister Graham the person who had the job of judging mp's donations and standards . I'll go with his opinion .

Course you can't . Bloke critical of torys for taking donations from Mayfair Hedge Funds, then takes a donation from Mayfair Hedge fund boss. Absolutely no double standards there at all. Sir Alistair Graham ex chairman of standards committee disagrees with your view. He said this morning that they were open to charges of hypocrisy over the receipt and also the declaration of the donation. Personally I couldn't give a monkeys who donates to whom, but once you're critical of your opponent for receiving money from a particular sector , its a bit rich to do so yourself.

That's Comprehensive educTion for you

Looks like Ed's about to be exposed as a grade A hypercrite tonight. Wonder how his " party of hedge fund" attack on the Tories looks now? Perhaps he'll drop that particular sound bite

I've been waking Mrs Duck up with a bit of the old magic for 20 years , are people trying to say I have to get her consent every time . FFS if getting her tipsy or having a portion whilst she asleep is against the law, I'm going to end up very frustrated . Surely by staying with me for so long she's giving consent.

I think the accused should not be named, until charged , as a matter of course, however the police can apply to a judge to relax this . If plod feel that they have compelling evidence that naming the accused will bring forward other victims , then its up to them to persuade the judge of the case to do so. At present they seem to be conducting fishing expeditions and leaving people on bail for unacceptable lengths of time.

Spot on. The Greenham common types together with metro sexual man has hi jacked the women's movement to impose their values on it. Real Women's lib involves doing what you want, when the hell you want to do it. If birds want to flash their puppies on page 3 or at football that's up to them, who are Harriet Harman and other kill joys to say its wrong. GYTOFTL is just a silly song, like " Koeman give us a wave" . Koeman can wave if he wants , or ignore it. Same with GYTOFTL , they can ignore it, or get them out. The power is with the bird, what's more liberating than that?

Balls was touring the TV studios this morning and making a complete pigs ear of it. Chris Leslie was also very poor on newsnight last night. Its been a half hearted response from labour , I'm not convinced they believe they can win the upcoming election.

I'm actually a really fit bird , with a cracking pair of tits, and shapely arse . I pretend to be male because of all the sexists on here.

But they'd also be a man down if it was a GS opportunity

Don't want to get into a private / public debate , but historically the public sector was more secure. I'm not sure if that's the case now, but its a fact that the pension provisions are better overall. My Mrs is a midwife and its a joke that I earn twice as much as her basically managing 35 minimum wage people. However, where does it end. I've no doubt the police, fireman, nurses, teachers, midwives, are underpaid , but realistically we can't afford to give them all a pay rise.

I knew a chick who married a bloke with the same name . She was Miss Mary Murphy and she married a Steve Murphy .
