Call made for new investigation into Portsmouth South MP Mike Hancock’s behaviour (News)

Morning.

I'm going to be cheeky & post a referral link to yougov. Any of you joining the panel will 'earn' me 400 points instead of the usual 200 so please, feel free to click & sign up - I will not be offended if none of you do

https://yougov.co.uk/account/register/

Any of you that do sign up can get a £50 cheque for every 5000 points - takes ages to get to it but an unexpected bonus when you reach the milestone. There is no limit on the number of times you can earn the £50.

That's my sales pitch for today folks, thank you for listening.

App -3, Lab -2? That Lab number looks very low to me.
Morning all.

Tory MP Douglas Carswell has defected to UKIP.

Well that is their one MP until 2015. I wonder if Mad Nad will now go over the top, or wait until after the election.

Carswell is getting lots of kudos on twitter from all political commentators (incl our own Kevin McGuire ) for his actions.

Witnesses
At 9.30am

Rt. Rev John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford and Chair of the Church of England’s Board of Education
Sir Daniel Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer, Harris Federation
David Wolfe QC, Matrix Chambers
Vincent McDonnell, Managing Director of Prospects, representing Prospects Academies Trust

I think that might be because he's resigned his seat & is forcing a by-election, rather than just crossing the floor.

BTW I have signed up for YouGov - how do I make sure you get your 400 points?

Tory MP Douglas Carswell has defected to UKIP.

Done. How do they know you referred me?

So, yesterday, the forum's arse reached a new low-of-all-time-lows in his dismal efforts to constantly wind everyone up. How is that possible, you may ask, when he's already scraped the bottom of the barrel so often here that it no longer even exists as a gossamer-thin analogy? By actively choosing to exploit the abuse of hundreds of children, that's how. Just so he could score the absolute cheapest of his crass, political non-points; and all to lead the regular posters - once again - on a merry little dance into the gutter of futile post/counter-post arguments about nothing remotely worth engaging with.

Just what was the Guardian's response to the unbelievable new low of this complete and utter bastard's reprehensible behaviour? Was it to: (a) delete all his abhorrent posts and ban this sick fuck for good or (b) to delete the thread where everyone else highlighted the abhorrence of his day's posting? You know, those posts where he actively exploited the abuse of children for his own delusional ends, just in case the moderators who will inevitably delete this post had forgotten.
Of course, it was (b). Yes, let's delete the thread and posts recommending no longer responding to the horrible, suppurating, pustule of a man, because that's what the Guardian's moderators are apparently for: to protect an utter fucking bastard who would willingly exploit news of the abuse of hundreds of children to troll this blog. Again. And again. And again.

Wake up Guardian mods. Wake. The. Fuck. Up.

[And will this post survive censorship? I'm 100% sure it is expressing the views of the vast majority of the people who frequently post BTL here, so of course it won't. We can't possibly have the views of the BTL users of this blog that ask for some basic improvements being expressed. That's just wrong in Guardian land and they must all be expunged... Comments from an obvious, fucking troll who is sick enough to bloody well exploit the news of hundreds of abused children purely so that he can wind people up, on the other hand, just have to stay.]

That's done for you.

Ooh, now that is interesting!

I mentioned the other day that there was another Edu Select Committee on academies and free schools.

The line up has changed...



That's the trust who I wrote about a couple of months back which has decided to jack it in and which has schools miles away from its base in Bromley.

Hopefully there'll be some searching questions about the DfE's role in all this.

Johnny is doing great work there, expressing the frustration that (obviously) quite a few feel about that loathsome piece of pond scum & his alter ego. Rusty's constant trolling and twitchy reporting finger is shutting down any meaningful debate on that thread; which is, I suspect, his intention.

Oh. Yes. Hi all. I finally made it.

Tell you what, if your summit requires turning a city centre into a military base, next time hold your summit in a military base.

I've just done it too - how do I know when you get your points?

There's nothing in the email from YouGov about it.....
