Carswell is getting lots of kudos on twitter from all political commentators (incl our own Kevin McGuire :roll:) for his actions. I guess in a way it's more honest than someone like Dan Hannan who simply carps about his party position on the EU but sits on his hands when it comes to doing anything ...

11.7 Several people interviewed expressed the general view that ethnic considerations had influenced the policy response of the Council and the Police, rather than in individual cases. One example was given by the Risky Business project Manager (1997- 2012) who reported that she was told not to ref...

I get the feeling from some of the comments - no now deleted - that there are people would blame Labour in Rotherham more than they blame the evil b'stards that actually did it.

One of the usual suspects was well into his stride about it but found all his posts deleted eventually.

All the same, the second string of any Prem side should be able to duff over a League One side - I noted one or two well known names in the starting lineup, and I'm guessing there are a few more on the bench available to play. 3-0 is quite shocking. Edit: 4-0. That's beyond embarrassing. League One...

Faisal Islam tried to ask Salmond about the currency issue on Sky News earlier, only to be told to move on, by Salmond, no change there then. I love that "move on" line. Cameron used it when Ashcroft was revealed still to be a tax exile. Blair did it a lot too. The whole currency thing - ...

I'm coming to the conclusion that there is a damn good chance Scotland will vote yes. I wouldnt have said that 6 months ago. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the next audience with Her Maj. "I'm terribly sorry your majesty but I appear to have lost Scotland" "Well that was very ca...

I have no idea why the Tories seem to gleeful at Darling not performing well - no-one is going to remember these debates.

But they will remember Cameron being the PM who lost Scotland from the Union. For a Conservative and Unionist leader to lose Scotland won't play very well on his record.

Evening all...thought you'd sneak off without me did you?
