Got called away for a bit. Mr Riots has had one of his culinary 'outings'. He had decided to prepare in advance for our next field trip ... and hard boil an egg for a sandwich. I vacated the kitchen as I hate the smell of said egg and the resulting sandwich - sort of fart based. Some time later - w...

I'd have thought it was pretty obvious that if the vote is Yes, then that makes Scotland a foreign country, and the Beeb won't let anyone but UK license payers watch their programmes. A good example is BBC America where they won't show anything that involves UK licence payers money too deeply. They...

I notice the Graun buried the "Labour lead 8 points in our own survey" article. Comments never opened and consigned to having to dig it out.

The Reunion - Radio 4 this morning. When Tony Blair delivered the phrase: 'New Labour, New Britain!' to the 1994 party conference, his first as leader, it was the result of a decade of change within the party. Kinnock had rebranded it, introducing the rose as party emblem and had distanced the Labo...

Morning all.

Here's Anatoly's round up: Six local council byelections this week: Vale of White Horse DC - LibDem hold in a two member ward where the Tories topped the poll last time (it had also split 1LibDem/1 Tory in 2003, though the LibDems won both in 2007, plus a 2009 by-election) with a swing of over 10% a...
