  1. Tangled up in Blue

    The failure to curb banks if a failure of Government itself

    http://gu.com/p/2n3eb Martin Kettle quite rightly (IMO)takes both the Coalition and the previous Labour Government to task for not doing more to regulate the banks.

    Plan B?

    http://gu.com/p/2mq84 Looks like the coalition are rolling out Plan B.And leaving it to deputy dawg to announce it.

    Coalition cuts

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/sep/10/coalition-cuts-poor-tuc The party would appear to be over(but only for some).
  5. Safe Standing- Government seeking advice on laws to review

    A message from the Football Supporters Federation. The new coalition government has pledged to scrap unnecessary and “nannying” laws. We believe that the ban on standing at football grounds in the top two divisions is just this. In England and Wales, you can stand in rugby grounds, at Speedway...

    Is this the beginning of the destruction......

    Is this the beginning of the destruction of the mould of British politics or is it the beginning of the destruction of the Liberal Democrats? Quite a day yesterday, which ended with probably the only really practical solution on the table. Briefly, hopes were raised on the idea of some...

    Brown Falls On Sword

    It's all over. Talks have broken down, Brown is packing his bags and the world's most ill-suited coalition is free to take effect. The next few months should be very interesting. I give it six months before the inevitable divorce and another General Election.
  10. If the Tories can do it?

    Could Southend Utd not form a coalition with Tranmere to get enough points to beat of relegation?

    The Result?

    Hmmm there doesn't seem to be one still yet! Lib Dems have done a Southend and not really turned up. BIG gains for 'Call me Dave' but enough? (+82 seats) People really showed they were fed up with Labour... (-75 seats) Enough for a Lab-Lib coalition? Perhaps not.... Nice to see Greens got a...

    Prediction Time

    So, folks, what are your predictions for how things will look on May 7th? You don't necessarily need to go into all the detail I've gone into below; you can just come up with a basic summary and/or choose the option in the poll which you think most closely reflects how you think it will go...

    Clement Attlee

    I'm going away for the weekend but my nomination for British hero is up for the first round this afternoon so here's why you should vote for him: Clement Attlee served as Winston Churchill's deputy in the War Coalition before winning the 1945 election and leading the most...

He's just come back from his 2nd tour of Afghan and has done 1 tour in Iraq. He has been in the army 4 years, so pretty much has had 6...

    The Ant & The Grasshopper

    1. CLASSIC VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper...
