If the media (press and broadcasters) are woefully biased what makes you think that those using social media also aren't biased? Corbyn needs to be removed because he hasn't got he support of the majority of the MPs in the PLP. And what is it with this word 'traitor' that keeps being used? Like I said, the numbers of Labour voteres may, may, increase but that does not mean an increase ...

Come a run up to a GE do you in all honesty think that the likes of The Sun, The Mail, The Express, The Times and The Telegraph would urge their readers to vote for left wing policies? Because I don't. And as long as the disenfranchised are in a minority I am at a loss to see what appeal left wing policies would have to the majority of voters. IF 50.01% of voters end up being on the wrong ...

A left wing party is all very well but how many seats do you think it would pick up in a GE? I understand totally its allure to those in economically depressed areas. I understand also its allure to, say, graduates who find themselves up to the eyeballs in tuition fee debt but see no future for themselves. I understand its allure to generation rent. I understand its allure to those who are not ...

TM's words taken out of context perhaps? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/26/may-hails-benefits-of-sharia-as-inquiry-set-up-into-misuse-of-is/ I was listening to TM's (pre-Leadsom withdrawal) leadership bid speech this morning. I'll swear she said that the laws of the country over-ride any other laws (or words to the effect).

Can anyone throw any light on what is going on please. That link that I posted above shows the agenda for the (ad hoc?) full council meeting being held this coming week. Why are items that I understand were agreed at the previous full council meeting now up for being rescinded? AGENDA 1 Apologies for absence 2 To receive and consider requests for dispensation 3 Minutes - ...

The reason I asked about crutches and foot stools is because I have some here. They are in the garage (I keep forgetting that they are there. This thread has reminded me)   I see similar items for sale at boot fairs. Please could someone explain (hazard a guess?) as to why it is hospitals provide these things but seemingly have no provision to take them back. I ask because I did phone ...

so...other than our leaving the EU and spending some of the money saved from that on the NHS do you have any thoughts on how the NHS can be funded appropriately? and on a not unrelated issue. Does anyone know from which budget things like crutches and orthopaedic foot stools are funded?
