That's one vote she won't be getting.

The BBC weather website again: the hour by hour currently has our local forecast as sunshine, no cloud, and 7% chance of precipitation. It is raining. Mrs B is not happy.

Nutters / thugs will always find something to use as a weapon, and if you come down hard on a particular implement they will find something else. What needs to be addressed, if possible, are the reasons why peoiple feel the need to carry implements that might be used for violence.

So the pound is at about 1.14 to the Euro, it was over 1.17 in May. Similarly, it was over 1.3 against the $US in May.

Surely if there was any indication that this was even possibly true then the Mail, Express, and Telegraph would be all over it ?

Because the Speaker won't allow this shambles of a minority Government to circumvent Parliament and avoid scrutiny, he gets demonised in the pro-Brexit press.

You do love your hyperbole.

Michael J Fox's middle name is..... Andrew

Or the populations of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, or Anguilla, almost all of whom could not vote as these territories are technically not in the EU, despite most EU treaties applying to them as the UK is responsible for them.

Blue, marsh, willow, great, coal, or long tailed ?

Why not grant them their wish and make them extinct ?

Newcastle have just taken the lead against Man Utd. Before the season started I would have settled for being 2 points behind ManU after 8 games.

Can't even get the score right in the headline.

It's all those people who have swallowed the 31st October "do or die" line. If we are still in the EU on Nov 1st his support will plummet.

Gutless, witless, spineless, clueless; applies to the club from top to bottom.

Is Lewis any good ?

What a clueless bunch, on the pitch and on the sidelines. Any of our players in an international squad should be denied permission to go, and the next 2 weeks spent on defensive training. Seriously starting to view RH as the Alpine Flopp.

Whoever coaches our defence needs to be hung froma gibbet at the gates of Staplewood as an example.

Do you think it is a good idea for me to be watching this whilst using power tools ?

"Team GB and Northern Ireland" at sports championships - they should be "Team UK", as that is the correctly abbreviated name of the country, particularly as the teams will include competitors from the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and even Anguila, all of which are not in Great Britain.

And all around the world people are still being murdered by the thousand in the name of God, we are constantly trying to find more detached and "smarter" ways to slaughter foreigners we disagree with, and we are destroying habitat at an alarming rate. Global rates of poverty constantly increase, and political leaders get more and stridently nationalistic whilst claiming that their country is more deserving of some or other resource than everybody else. The important and critical issues we face are global, and reverting to petty self interest is not a long, or even medium term, solution. So yes 'our society' may well be more liberal, safe, tolerant, rich, and fair than it was 100 or 50 years ago, from some blinkered perspectives, but, to get back to the point, we are still, on the broader stage, repeating the errors of history.

Not in Florida, as it is one of the states with a "stand your ground" law.

When we were just starting to recover from the Great War; brought about by greed, military posturing and d1ck waving,and defending our national interests. Even after WW2 Britain and France were busy trying to simply restore their imperial domains, and today we have politicians promising to take us back to those heady days. The stock answer to regimes we don't like is to threaten intervention, and religion is used to justify mob violence, exactly as has happened throughout recorded history. So, all the evidence suggests that we haven't learnt the lessons of history.
