Anyway, back to St Nige... He's trying to sue Led By Donkeys for infringing his copyright and intellectual property, by registering TheBrexitParty.com And the legal letter from his lawyers makes multiple references to how EU law is being breached... thebrexitparty.com/ for more details. Funny, but that letter seems to be complaining about the use of the logo, not the domain itself. And I would guess the BP have a point there legally. Snapshot of the spoof website from September. The logo has gone now.

And, for balance, www.thetorymanifesto.com/

They missed on out though: F*** Jennifer Arcuri BTW, I had forgotten her name so googled: "who is Boris Johnson rumoured to have had an affair with". I think google nearly blew up with the number of different results it had to return....

Now Labour wanting to buy WASPI votes . What about the men I lose £6000 having to wait a year longer . If they got in it could cost the poorer WASPIs . They could lose more in benefit than they get in instalments for lost pension.

Maureen Lipman appeared on Radio 4 World at One during the last Israeli bombing onslaught on Gaza to defend their actions, and she took the line that any criticism of that government's actions was based on anti-semitic prejudice. Hence the subtext of her taking part in this anti-Corbyn piece is likely to be the debatable premise that Jeremy Corbyn is anti-semitic. I don't suppose she's remotely bothered whether there is free broadband or not.

I'll be voting for the party that will be honouring the 2016 vote and that has a good chance of forming a government. i.e. Blue. However, that clip I honestly found a bit wooden. I follow Momentum on Twitter and the videos they put out are so much slicker, funnier and appealing. I've also never bought into this anti-sematism in the Labour party even though it helps move more votes to who I want to win. I just don't buy that they are institutionally racist in any way - the odd bad apple maybe. I also don't like that we have to be careful around out treatment of Israel. I feel it would be like having to be careful not criticizing say Nigeria in case anyone thought you were racist.

Guardian (5 months ago) reported " Labour antisemitism probe: evidence submitted from 100 witnesses This article is more than 5 months old Amount of testimony in front of EHRC will make it hard to support Corbyn’s claim that problem is down to ‘small number’"
Guess we'll find out when we see the EHRC report.

68% vs 32%, on a turnout of just 42%. And that was for AV - a particular type of PR. PR is used in the UK already - for European elections, and for all three devolved regional assemblies - but none of them use AV... Unfortunately, people don't look beyond the colour of the ribbon, so we all get a bunch of party-line yes-men parachuted in from central office. Half of them probably couldn't even find their constituency on a map without help. If people understood how their vote worked, and actually demanded candidates who were going to work for the constituency, then we'd get very different politics even under FPTP. why was the referendum not run on AV Do you want AV to be used in future UK elections etc pick your first then second choice YES NO
