On spiking trees so birds can't land:



Yeah there's a pretty simple answer. If you don't want to live near trees - fuck off somewhere else.

This might actually make me more angry than Brexit. Not sure.

In a rational country, Dominic Grieve and Kier Starmer would lead their parties, Nigel Farage would be deputy manager of a Wetherspoons in Penge, and Boris Johnson would be a children's entertainer on administrative leave pending the outcome of a disciplinary hearing.

That's as maybe but we're British and we're going to stamp our feet and go on about being smooth and sensible, and strong and stable, and some other bollocks until we get them.

Merry Christmas!

Stay safe and warm. See you soon.

It's incredibly short-sighted
People need to remember or learn how an ecosystem functions
It'll cause problems, spiking trees

Good-evening, everyone

Happy Christmas!

""it is a government that is quite happy to watch people suffer. If people can’t meet their basic needs for food, fuel and shelter, they will die. This is a government that is OK with people dying because of government policies. Take a moment to think that through.""


(( Happy Xmas to TC2 , and all, despite all that ... ))

and the Lib Dems would not have facilitated the austerity measures of the Coalition Government but then, as always, the Lib Dem are not to blame for anything are they

Not to mention the pathetic attempt of Clegg to defend the EU against Farage.......did so much to help the cause did it?

A most pathetic excuse for a political party - ready to jump on the nearest bandwagon - and I will not take any lessons from them on who should lead a political party

Night night.

Night night.

Sorry a bit late - saw this posted at t'other place and thought it was interesting. From Peston



Labour have been moving gradually this way for a while now and some of the knee jerk comments against the EU in early days have been checked against the reality

Still some way to go but the momentum is building I think

Also, the final paragraph is interesting and is where may of the debates we have end up - some think they should be leading that and others, of which I am firmly one, believe it would be a tactical error to do so. I think the current criticism of the lack of joined up thinking from the Government and pointing out the flaws in their negotiating position (which is now more vocally supported by some seriously pissed off Tory MPs and all the other opposition parties) will help. The main thing though that will influence the opinion though is not the Labour Party or the others - it will be the Tory Party trying to find away through all their contradictions and red lines that they have set up for themselves and the reality hitting home of what the future will really look like not the unicorns and apple pie.

I personally think Labour have realised this already and are now working out how to make sure that they keep the pressure on

I thought this extract from the regular newsletter from our MEP Clare Moody that I get e-mailed was rather interesting:



I'm sure Brexit isn't just about protecting the tax haven activities of our overseas dependencies, but it definitely seems to be a major factor.

MPs condemn 'abject failure' of homelessness policy

Given they clearly state(d) policies risk(ed) homelessness,justified on the "fairness/on balance" thing "success/failure",very much contingent on certain assumption of what that means.They know to come stuff further risks loss of homes,certainly know creates reliance in lieu of basic State reciprcocity of discretion and charity/borrowing off family etc.
