New ComRes/ITV poll finds that UKIP rated as nastiest party ahead 2% ahead of CON.
Interestingly in the same poll UKIP are 3% ahead of the Tories for "Stands up for people like me" , is level with the Tories for "Has a strong leader" and is only 8% behind them for "Has the best policies for Britain's future".
Proves you can cherry pick whatever you like from this poll depending on your view point.
Now where do I collect my loot?
Martin Skrtel to score anytime tonight 14/1.
RM not good from corners - DYOR.
Now, can you tell me who the Prime Minister is?
I suggest "Unicorns" because of their rarity.
Casualties reported.
Martin Skrtel to pull shirt at corners anytime tonight.
Anti-Labour tactical voters could perhaps be called "Fairies" because they're a figment of the imagination.
Shots fired inside Canada parliament.
But according to latest, fighting in several parts of the city. Obviously planned attack.

I think as a Kipper I can live with that particularly considering the unpleasant mean spirited bigots online who are prone to call Kippers 'nasty'. Not being associated with those sort of people is quite a relief really...
I was in A & E, again, last Saturday and one of the Doctors asked me that question (along with some other damn silly ones), I was sorely tempted to say, "Harold Wilson" just to see what would happen. I resisted, but I still don't know what he was trying to ascertain given that I was in there because of an acute allergic reaction.
"religion of peace"
"the vast majority"

Like GMP car crime was higher up their list.
I suspect some have "failed" to diagnose dementia because they don't want to upset patients and relatives. I also suspect that there will be a big rise in dementia diagnoses in some practices!
There will also be complaints from GP's with large numbers of student patients that they have no chance of earning this money. Although if they're looking after a University, there could well be opportunities among the senior staff!
What are the consequences for the patient of such a diagnosis? Car driving etc?
Hmm. That would be a bit of a coincidence.
Don't know if you heard the Today At One piece on Fiona Woolf?
It had Jim Murphy and Francis Maude discussing the matter in restrained tones. Reading between the lines, I should say her goose is cooked.
As with lots of NHS interventions this is more about incentivising those parts of the country that are poor at this particular diagnosis to improve, rather than looking to increase diagnosis rates across the piece.

Con, Lancashire West: Paul Greenall.

I have another client who has Lewes Bodies Dementia who has for the last two years been hallucinating three schoolchildren who come and sit in her front-room every night and watch TV with her. It only becomes an issue when she goes to turn the channel and they start shouting at her...
In her own world, she seemed fine, but the strain on carers was huge.
So I'm reckoning that Mr Hughes will buck the trend of Yellow losses in May next year, and hold on.
(Beware of extrapolating from small data sets.)
And yes, as we get older it's one of our more negative "fireside chats". Especially as it took my father-in-law away from us five years before he died.
A gunman has been killed in Ottawa after three separate shootings in the nation's capital forced Parliament Hill into lockdown and gripped the city with fear.
Shots had been fired inside Parliament, the National War Memorial and near the Rideau Centre shopping mall A soldier has been reported shot at the Memorial

If true, all kinds of shit is going to hit the authorities' fans.
And that person is still in paid employment?

It was an overwhelming win with no transfers required; 155 votes out of 283 cast.
Isam has been working on his nomination speech all week.
Actual 2005 result (Medway):
Lab 17,333 (42.2%)
Con 17,120 (41.7%)
LD 5,152 (12.5%)
UKIP 1,488 (3.6%)
Notional 2005 result (Rochester & Strood):
Con 18,877 (42.6%)
Lab 18,374 (41.5%)
LD 5,468 (12.4%)
UKIP 1,547 (3.5%)
http://election.pressassociation.com/constituencies.html
So the boundary change had the following effect:
Con +0.9%
Lab -0.7%
LD -0.1%
UKIP -0.1%
Someone (Dr Spyn?) in a previous thread mentioned Archbishop Hope's (now Lord Hope of Thornes)'s alleged mishandling of allegations of child abuse against a priest. Lord Hope's response to the report contains this absolute corker:
“Last May, in some of the reporting, it was suggested that there had been some cover-up by me.
“This report makes clear that not applying the policy is not the same as a cover-up.
Hmmmm.
The only benefit of going through it with my grandparents was that it made me sit with my mum and dad and prepare powers of attorney, etc. Getting practical stuff in place like that before there is a crisis is about the only thing you can do really.
Sir Nick Young, the chief executive of the British Red Cross, saw his pay jump by 12 per cent to £184,000 since 2010, despite a one per cent fall in the charity’s donations and a three per cent fall in revenues.
Rumours of new Rochester poll coming out. Judging by the betting it's good for the purples.
Mike Smithson @MSmithsonPB · 17 mins17 minutes ago
Rochester betting move very sharply to UKIP. Now an 80% chance on Betfair up from 70%. Somebody knows something.
If you and marf did their research you would know this is a 6 month £5 million scheme and there is already a £42 million scheme for offering appropriate assessments of people who came in with memory problems, or those with conditions which put them at increased risk.
Sneering and groundless comments are perhaps why GP recruitment is falling.
I only mentioned it really to make the same point others have - that the actual sufferer doesn't seem to know too much about it. (And in case anybody was wondering, nobody really dies from dementia, but in many cases the brain deteriorates to the extent that normal bodily functions fail and there follows a complete system breakdown. That's pretty much what happened with the Old Girl. She was 85 and had a good life.)
Guilty, looks as Dr Hope has been schooled with Sir Humphrey. Some classic lines here.2

"It is matter of great regret to me that 12 years ago when the non-specific anonymous allegations were first made in Manchester, the church and I myself were not more proactive in seeking out and/or assisting a reluctant complainant."
"Nor is it any comfort that other organisations were no more diligent at that time when dealing with similar situations."
As Dr Heinz Kiosk said, we are all guilty...though he didn't expect to include terrorists to be as committed to child abuse as some of their enemies. It is a 'funny' old world.
The UK is not the only country where PC has gone mad.
On Tuesday a Muslim convert was killed by Quebec police after deliberately hitting two soldiers in his car, killing one and injuring another.
Seriously, no other religion has so many screwed up people.
Do we know whether the Tories are running with Pinky or Perky yet?

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has apologised to sex abuse victims "let down" by the IRA during the Troubles.
The number of converts who go off the rails (more likely, were never on them) is large.
I only possibly blame Islam when the miscreants were inculcated from birth.
As Mr. Cole said up thread this dreadful disease kills people before they die physically. Sometimes I think medical science may have taken a wrong turn. "First do no harm" might have been a good motto for Hippocrates but 2,000 years later should his dictum still apply in all cases?

On Monday, Matthew Goodwin tweeted:
"A (credible) source on the ground tells me that in Rochester & Strood Ukip are running the biggest data collection exercise in their history"

Soldier shot by gunman outside Canada parliament dies, minister says, as police search for multiple suspects
My guess is that the results of the Primary are now fairly widely known and some people are drawing inferences and betting accordingly. I don't have much of a problem with that to be honest. As you say, it is hard to police and the 'information' is not much more than one straw amongst many in the wind.
There are other instances though when I think liberties are taken and believe it or not there are rules - even laws - which are occasionally called into action.
But generally punters accept all that kind of stuff as part and parcel of the game.
Feels about right.
The 6.2 and 7.4 is nonsense
When there is a big move, people put up offers to take bets at ridiculously short prices... you want to be looking at the pink side of the odds, that what people are wanting to back.. 54/1 in this case..
£2k for UKIP at 1.25 says this is heading our way

'I'm saying this only once.....' Brilliant.
If it was less than 10,000 then the Tories are unlikely to get 30% of the vote
