Drove carefully home, called in a local mobile mechanic and all the wheel nuts were loose. He unscrewed the locking nut on the left front wheel with his fingers! The wheel was about to fall off. The other three wheels were loose as well.
That made our tickers thump for a minute.

I missed the Morgan speech as the preamble of guests took so long and I wasn't going to miss my swimming...
But here's an odd thing - the academy in Birmingham that had one of the teachers and two pupils speak was a Labour academy from 2009...and also an E Act school.
that's the same E Act that's in a whole mess and having to give back 10 schools to go to other sponsors, and also has financial issues too.
I might see if I can work out where they went wrong...over expansion too quickly maybe? Wouldn't surprise me.

I thought he campaigned against 'sweatshops' and had summat to do with wage councils?
Yes he did, although I don't think the whole country benefited at the time. I have another biography about him by Roy Jenkins, and there is mention that he went down a coal mine and was deeply affected by the miners working conditions. There is no doubt he'd be far to the left of the Conservative party today. And probably think Cameron and Co, are crass upstarts.

Churchill was an awful peacetime PM/Chancellor/Opposition leader. DLG won the first world war and subsequent election and achieved all of the above as chancellor. Yet we have that degenerate scion of a degenerate house lauded as our greatest PM.

Night PF.
So, 'media' news .......
After trying to pretend "it wasn't us guv, honest" for the past couple of days, Rusty's bezzie mate Paul Staines has now decided to accept full responsibility for the Brooks Nomark story; the line is it wasn't a fishing expedition but a "narrowly targeted effort" designed to exactly what it did ....force the resignation of a Minister. Leaving aside the improbability of Staines, Wickham and his crew doing anything out of moral duty, this defiant post on their tawdry little blog (with the final lines about attempts of censorship) rather suggests that Paul has had his ear bent by Lynton and didn't like the experience.
http://order-order.com/2014/09/30/not-so-pronto-ipso/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But he'd better not upset too many people as one of his sometime paymasters, the Daily Mail, have made an appointment that means they will probably no longer need his services; in a match made truly in heaven the Daily Mail has appointed Piers Morgan as "Editor-at-Large", with a remit to fill their pages full of sleaze from across the other side of the Atlantic. One more reason (as if any more were needed) to never read that nasty fascist rag.

Cameron hasn't got the guts, and anyway it is too late. Kinnocks speech was the point at which Labour launched a purge on militant at every level of the party. It was destroyed as a movement before it could infiltrate the party.letsskiptotheleft wrote:DFH reckons Cameron must confront elements in his party tomorrow the same way Neil Kinnock did in 1985, I remember that speech, I was 17 at the time, even now it is electrifying to watch, Kinnock had guts, Cameron doesn't, he will cede more and more to people who will never be happy.
The time for the Tories to do that was arguably 1992, but they were too weak. Given that the absolute last chance was 1997 and Hague blew it. There are now over 100 Tea Party Tory MPs, they are embedded at all levels in the party. In fact there are more hard line right wingers than moderate Tory MPs.

I think his mother would (as the Americans say) rip him a new one if he did that. Dan just wants the return of New Labour, and to be restored to his rightful place as prophet and chief scribe until he is given a safe seat; that is all the support of Cameron amounts to, a way to continue undermining Ed, guarantee defeat next year and precipitate a counter-revolution in the party which will see the Blairites back in control. Frankly he is delusional, and I think Glenda should rip him a new one anyway.AnatolyKasparov wrote:What's the betting DFH will decide it is a brilliant speech, almost regardless of the actual content?

I'll bet he thought he could take office. Delegate responsibility to his cabinet and it would be easy peasy. You can almost hear him saying, 'It's only a question of man management and putting the right man in the job'. Which unfortunately meant only close friends and cronies.
Politics is one of the most back stabbing cut throat careers there is. Every one wants the top job or high position.

And of course, as trolls their job is to provoke and displace reactions, and a "good" troll can provoke dozens of enfuriated replies to a single post. So a lack of trolls means that the blog may be back to a more natural level.
So I guess that's why the Graun tolerate, condone or indeed encourage those that troll what used to be their natural readerships. Wringing every last click out of us before we leave them, and they continue their voyage away from us.

Pre-paid benefit cards are already used for asylum seekers. Hugely oppressive (unless you're Tesco or Asda.) Our church swaps them for cash.
