I hope it doesn't come to the forming of a new party because that will only water down the possibility of an election victory against the Tories even further.

The majority of Muslims in the UK vote Labour, if they vote for any of the mainstream parties at all. Though I'd guess there's a generational divide at play in those communities which stops things from being nice and neat as to who they vote for. I highly doubt that they vote Conservative any large number, anyway.:hmmm:

As for events within Scotland, since we're still part of the UK at the moment:

First Ministers Questions: LINK.

As I wrote in the Brexit thread, scoredraw; Tories and SNP knock lumps out of each other. Scottish Labour, Lib Dems and Greens side with SNP for some Tory bashing.

Scottish Secretary "Fluffy" Mundell backs May for Tory leadership: LINK.

Holyrood's European and External Affairs Committee hears evidence from four experts on the possible options for Scotland in Europe: LINK.

Unsurprisingly, independence is only way for Scotland to be part of the EU.

I don't think anyone needed a panel of experts to figure that one out!:doh:

Slightly late, but Scottish Labour Leader Kezia Dugdale states the obvious - "It would be difficult for Corbyn to continue": LINK.

Mike.

I hope he will but I currently doubt it.

There are reports of a surge of new Labour Party members (somewhere in the region of 15,000) but who are they joining to support?

Good one from Andrew Neil on Twitter:

"I will run for leader of Tory and Labour parties. Danaerys Targaryen agreed to be running mate. Good for female vote + keeps dragons onside."

Mike.:haha:

Thatcher (0r is it May:hmm2:) is the bookies new favourite to replace toffboy as next Tory leader

Now what shall I wear for my EU meeting I know the same colour as the flag.

Talk about sucking up. :haha:

A little change as I downgrade to my council, old STEED getting another wheely bin a Brown one and more on the way! :huh:

Where am I going to put them? I am already tripping over two wheely bins and four plastic boxes!

Are you getting a hit as well?

We've had brown bins for years here, blue, grey and brown...I think there was a box for newspapers but no-one ever uses them. :hmmm:

You should, it must be for the "Sun".

Would explain the weather if people keep putting it in there. :hmmm:

I guess the Sun turns into a black hole, if you let it lie around for more than a day :hmm2:

OK I went to my council website site and worked it out, I think. :)

My Black size small wheely bin for household rubbish for dumping will change to this new brown size small one. So far that's all right by me but a question comes up, some of my neighbours have XL wheely bins and they pack them to the hilt. :hmmm:

I will be getting a XL Black wheely bin for plastics cans foil and glass which will do away with three of my plastic boxes and no change on the paper and card apart from I will keep one of the redundant boxes as spare as time to time the main one gets rather full.

And now food and garden wast will continual to go in to my Green wheely bin but I will be getting a small and medium box for inside with handles. Now the fun part, food wast will go into the small one and when its full transfer to the medium one in turn when full empty that one outside in the wheely bin.

Stand by more to come!

More boxes for a new collection! One box for small electrical items like batterers and the other for small linen.


Now I got you all :doh: or :haha: have a nice evening. :)

PS: I'm now checking delivery bin dates and change to my collection days. But first a hot steaming mug of coffee.

Good grief, that sounds way more complex than what we have up here in Aberdeen. We have the following on a two week cycle:

One black large wheely bin for household waste which is collected on Wednesday of the first week.

One brown large wheely bin which is collected on the Tuesday of the second week and;

One black box and one bag for the bottle/can/plastic and paper collections respectively. They are collected on the Thursday of the second week.

The days are specific to the area of Aberdeen where I live, other locations have theirs on other days.

For the electrical, paint, builders waste and anything else you want to get rid of, Aberdeen City Council has a large recycling points in various areas of the city.

All very organised, which for the Aberdeen City Mafia is quite surprising!

Mike.:03:

:o

:)

Yeah, it's not actually that bad, no worse than any other local authority!

Mike.

Brixet
 

Brixet is happening

So Gove has played the part of Judas and stabbed his mate in the back :hmmm:

Game Of Thrones Part Deux:

It may not be the case Jim, Boris is great at outsourcing all the work while he takes all the credit for it. Gove is light weight and no real threat to Boris, there is a point maybe Boris has got his sights on further down the road for power giving him time to iron out his act and less outsourcing to others in around eight to ten years time.

It's a fine day for a Blue Wedding:

As much as some may have loathed Thatcher or Blair, they had one thing in common. They could at least march their respective parties in the same direction.

If politics is a game of thrones or a house of cards, America’s past year would be checkers to the U.K.’s three-dimensional chess match going on right now.
