Bizarre decision by @UKIP tonight. Party selected candidate to fight Boston & Skegness, but won't reveal who! More on @looknorthBBC at 10.25
(I thought Neil Hamilton had it ????)
hmmmm - am I on tenterhooks or not? I can't quite decide.
I wonder if Farage decided he desperately needed a big squirrel to deflect from his pretty bad day for PR ... NHS and women who take maternity leave not worth as much fiascos ...?

He said he wanted it, I think tonight is the official announcement after a "fair and open" (yeah right) selection procedure.
On another matter, saw this posted elsewhere, thought some here might appreciate it .....

Very little there about what Balls has outlined. There was more coverage of what the Conservatives spokesman said.

It's a pile of shit and no mistake. Still, it's the Spectator, rah-rahing fascism and neoliberalism since forever. You don't - seriously - go there to learn anything? All you get is massive trolling that makes the Graun look vaguely left wing. It's about s bad as it could be, unless you've ever visited Freerepublic or the Excess websites.

I see Nick Gibb is doing some cheerleading now that the DfE's reputation is flagging a bit. This bit...
This was why this government launched the free schools programme in 2010. We wanted to provide outlets for idealism - opportunities for dedicated groups of individuals who believed they could improve school provision.
Such groups of individuals have exceeded our expectations. The best academy chains, such as Ark Schools and the Harris Federation, have expanded and replicated their proven success. Ark Schools have opened 3 free schools, with 8 more in development. Likewise, the Harris Federation has opened 8 free schools, with 5 more in development.
Totally ignores the failures like Discovery, IES Breckland, Al Madinah...but concentrates on ones opened by academy chains.
So Nick, tell me again how you can have two separate reporting mechanisms with academy chains having schools on both?
I should have stopped reading here:
Our reforms to the curriculum, making it more knowledge-based and academically rigorous
Right...that's the curriculum your academies that you are so enthusiastic about can virtually ignore. Tell us why you bothered again?

That bad sex award...the funniest description I've ever seen of sex was in a Charlie Brooker column.
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre ... servatives" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I once overheard two posh people - almost certainly Tories - having sex in a hotel room. It was grim. The woman kept saying, "Fuck me, Gerald," in a cut-glass accent, which was funny, but Gerald himself soon wiped the grin off my face with his grunting, which wasn't really grunting at all, but instead consisted of the words "oh" and "ah" crisply orated aloud, like Sir Laurence Olivier reading dialogue off a card at an early rehearsal. I didn't stick around long enough to hear the climax, but I imagine the words "gosh", "crumbs", and "crikey" probably put in an appearance.

Three comments from the G thread on the greatest looted art works ( nothing like as amusing as Roger's snippet above).
