Re: Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th October 2014

Temulkar I am not wanting to get into an argument with you as I think we probably have many things in common. I would also say I have very little issue with how the Green Party positions itself nationally and I think Caroline Lucas all the best in staying in Parliament for the future As a scientist,...

Good morning everyone from a damp and chilly Switzerland Spent the last few days in Bad Säckingen in Germany - very nice town and it has the longest wooden covered bridge in Europe crossing the Rhine between Germany and Switzerland! Been reading some of the guff being written about the by-elections...

Re: Wednesday 8th October 2014

A Huddersfield connection. That's where I'm from if you didn't know? And from the info given I've a good idea where you must work ;-) I bet you can! I worked in Hudds for 3 years - lived near Castle Hill. Really enjoyed it and it was a hard decision to move. Had a beer tonight with one of my ex-col...

Re: Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th October 2014

The Guardian is dead. Time to consider the alternatives. My suggestion the other day that we try to start up a progressively-inclined news source here went down like a cup of cold sick, but what are the possibilities open to us who are fed up with rightwing hegemony in the serious press? I thought ...

Re: Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st September 2014

Ernst Not surprisingly I agree with you agreeing with me :) I fail to see the difficulty in understanding the principle that we have a UK Parliament (so assume that it is people doing it on purpose) who then would give approval to a devolution bill transferring powers to other bodies. That is what h...

Re: Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st September 2014

RoT Labour cannot 'get out of it' - it is either igonored or it is confronted straight on I prefer the latter as the country's structure is so imbalanced now and the North of England is the main loser. Do not conflate the UK Parliament with a devolved English one - the WLQ is irrelevant at Westminst...

Re: Friday 19th September 2014

Ephemerid A considered response and I, like you, have no trust for the Tories and Cameron especially The issue is that under FPTP the Tories are an English Party and have no interest in anywhere else.
