If your journalists are like ours here in Denmark and in Sweden

They will not have the guts to confront the leader of the Labour party

Asking him if he have changed his mind the last two years.

Quite the opposite! If you take pleasure from watching a dancing weasel, ask him! Ask him!

The nameless one is a raging anti-semit who supports terrorists, the prosecution rests it's case.

The defence, none...

Verdict....GUILTY AS CHARGED.

Vote Labour if you call the truth lies.

The new Speaker says he will not permit the kind of parliamentary manoeuvres recently used to block a no-deal Brexit allowed by his predecessor John Bercow.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he would not allow the procedures used by MPs to seize control of the agenda.

It would make it harder for MPs to derail a government after the election, even if it does not have a majority.

Sir Lindsay said he wanted MPs to agree to change the Commons rules to close off those options.

Good luck with that but I have my doubt's.

Just watching Sturgeon open the SNP campaign and she just said Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries. Really, well then you do not need any more money from Westminster.

Someone's obviously not factoring in their share of the national debt.

What I absolutely cannot stand is when the comrades - or IKEA or Starbuck staff - approach me clumsily and use my first name on me as if we were close friends or member sof the same family. I find this very repugnant. Foreigners I do not know, companies, advertisment approaching me this way, already have lost me the second they practice this for the first time on me.


I in principle react very hostile when others try to draw me into any kind of clumsy familiarity or club collectivism. No warning balks from me, I immediately bite.

If you're referring to the way I am addressed in the emails then I would tend to agree but I'm not really overly bothered either because I don't feel the need to respond to them.

Just been watching the news on SKY and they are reporting Labour and the other party's will abolish homelessness.

NOW THIS GETS ME BLOODY ANGRY WHEN I HERE THIS LIE AND IT IS A LIE NONE OF THEM GIVE A TOSS AND WILL NEVER ABOLISH HOMELESSNESS.

ALL THOSE SAY THIS ARE A BLOODY DISGRACE, HOW DARE THEY THESE OVER PAID MORONS.

The BBC will host a head-to-head debate between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn in the run-up to the general election.

The Conservative and Labour leaders will face off live in Southampton on 6 December - six days before the poll.

A seven-way podium debate will also take place between senior figures from the UK's major political parties on 29 November, live from Cardiff.

Liberal Democrat candidate Chuka Umunna said it was "wrong [and] undemocratic" not to include his party in the head-to-head debate to represent those who "want to stop Brexit".

He said his party would be launching legal proceedings against the BBC, as it has with ITV - which is also holding a debate between Mr Johnson and Mr Corbyn.

No doubt Jo Swinson will be absolutely fuming

United Kingdom might not exist in a decade, half of UK citizens think: poll

If the union breaks up the fault will be the politians who by their own stupid actions dragged out brexit causing society to become so divided.

I could be wrong, but I think this dividing began right after your referendum if not before.

The first referendum took place on Thursday 18 September 2014 on Scottish independence from the United Kingdom.
