As an add on - sorry I'm to and froing between the kitchen and here - something Max Hastings said today really struck home. He said that he thought Cameron putting a date / year on his referendum promise was a bad mistake - we are now having a referendum at a time when the EU is in great flux and th...

I hope you're right. Because, otherwise, I will take it as an indication that people actually like (or at least don't care about) where the hate is leading. Please don't.

I still find myself being a bit shocked by the Jamie Reed MP tweet I saw a week or so ago saying something like 'You're lying.

Bah :evil: ScreenShot01422.jpg Wonder if it'd be too much to hope for, that in the light of this terrible event, Cameron actually reflects on the way he has demonised the Labour Party and its MPs?

Isn't it odd that the suspect apparently hasn't been charged? On the face of it there's enough evidence - eyewitnesses and (presumably) forensic evidence on the firearm.
