Greetings all Sad news. Farm Terrace Allotments will be no more. The judge decided in favour of the Council and the Government. You win one Judicial Review, they go back with another argument. You win a second Judicial Review. They go back with another argument. No doubt if we'd won this Judicial Re...

Just saw this, JA and others discussing housing yesterday may be interested. A new development of affordable housing low energy homes opens in Pembrokeshire next month.

Greetings all, Farm Terrace hearing was today. Judge agreed to [yet another] Judicial Hearing. Due to the timing, it had previously been agreed that if leave was given for a Judicial Hearing, that would happen today as well. The Judge has said she will try and give her decision by 4th November. http...

Corbyn isn't clear. Which he has the right person in place in Keir Starmer to have that clarity of thought around all of the issues. As I said earlier I don't think the HO is that important in the next few years. Yes, there's bound to be issues that crop up but since it lost justice it's not as imp...

Seems reasonable enough as far as it goes. This is headline chasing from our PM every bit as much as Dave ever indulged in. Interesting that polls don't show a majority for "hard" Brexit, so why is so much of the Tory party so gaga for it? Because there's a majority for hard Brexit among ...

May's speech making it crystal clear we are leaving the single market and heading for hard Brexit. And the only opposition I have seen comes from Nicola Sturgeon.

Beautiful post. We're in agreement.

Thank you comrade. Scrub that. I prefer - thank you my friend. Sleep well and peace be with you.

I want our government to act in the best interests of the people, based on evidence. I do not want them to bring in legislation which is wrong simply to appease people. (cJA edit) So do I. Current Tory leadership on their seventh year in government are governing for the benefit of a few, willing to...

Greetings all, I found the comments on here regarding Freedland's article interesting. I agree that he doesn't seem to make the case for what Corbyn's position is regarding immigration and the single market. More importantly though, I don't buy the argument that politicians should always defer to pu...

@Paul, TC, A Hindle,

Clarification please. Are Yorkshire Tea, Tory supporters or not? I need to know! TELL me, tell ME, tell me NOW!

Lord only knows. But each to their own. Once in a while I like to cast a little bait to ensure that Rog is still obsessively checking my Twitter account on an hourly basis.

Greetings all, Late to the party as ever. I hope you've had a wonderful birthday @AK. @Hugo - this sums you up. "Depends what you mean. But they aren't paying market, and I don't know of another way of measuring value". I'm sorry Hugo but you simply aren't 'left wing' regardless of how muc...

Tizme1 Yes of course it is my viewpoint. What else could it be? I can give you chapter and verse on why the Green's central economic policy, the citizen's income, doesn't fly if you like. But no doubt that would be "so like, just my opinion" and so not worth bothering with. Yes it would b...

Happy birthday Refitman. Hope you're having a wonderful day.

If one is paraphrasing ones understanding of someone else's viewpoint, one should not use inverted commas. To do so implies a direct quotation. I am acutely aware of what the Tories have been doing. I am also very aware of how little Labour have been offering an alternative over the last 6 years. I ...

Tizme1

What is the point of 'winning' if only to enact pretty much the same policies as the opposition? Your premise is just wrong. The policies and decisions of the last Labour government were completely different from the current Tory one. Thinking that the last Labour government was just 'Tory lite' as...

Greetings all. @Hugo - Thank you for answering my post from yesterday. You state that; 1) You accept the reality of climate change.

Assuming it is a postal ballot, that does seem low yes. Certainly all Labour contests since individual voting was introduced in 1994 have been higher.
