Mr. Foxinsox, I did not know that. There's some doubt over whether Edward II was actually killed, though. Ian Mortimer reckons he escaped alive, and died some years later.
I find the evidence Ian Motimer provides very persuasive. His books about Roger Mortimer and about Edward III are very well worth reading.
MP SE Albeit 33% of candidates will be women and 14% black or ethnic minority and no new Etonians will be standing in Tory held constituencies. Alan Mak will be Britain's first British Chinese MP if he retains Havant as is likely
Voter registration is super easy. Took me under 5 minutes to do online.
Annoyingly 2 of my children who are Labour voters will not register as they apparently think they dont understand what they all stand for. Of the 2 who are registered one is more committed to Lab than me the other changes his mind every week between Lab and UKIP.
Net result Lab 2 down in my family (maybe 3)

Sounds like they aren't Labour voters.
They were in 2010 so if they registered i reckon they would vote Labour. I think really they would be non voters if they aren't nagged. Will be deploying Mrs BJ to deploy her charm on them when they come up for my birthday on Wednesday.
Does anyone know where I can get the data tables from YouGov polls stretching back the last few weeks? Their website is hopelessly difficult to navigate, and I can only find the most recent.
WORKERS in England and Wales would get an extra bank holiday to celebrate their national saints’ days, under an election pledge unveiled today by Nigel Farage.
Which one is he getting rid of? Or are we going to get a new bank holiday promised to us every election?
Since the left have appropriated 'May Day' as the International Workers' Day, why not rename the Spring bank holiday later in the month to something more appropriate?
But forget St George: everyone knows what it should be. Yes, I cannot wait to unfurl my Union Jack for the most meaningful of bank holidays:
Thatcher Day!
The end of May Holiday used to be called Empire Day so it did once have a name.
My mother always used to tell me the end of May holiday was "Scottish May Day" but I've never found any source for this. Then again she tells me she voted Yes but I'm pretty certain she voted No with my Quisling father.
Leaving Scotland? Leaving Scotland? It is currently part of England.
Get used to it.
As stated it's status is currently Disputed as it was not resolved before the Acts of Union which will be voided by a Scottish Yes vote. Berwick is Scottish. it will remain Scottish, I have little doubt, but as I said you'd be given a reasonable period to stabilise the plummeting rUK economy before a binding vote. That way you might have a slight chance.
Berwick is not Scottish - I was bought up there and in my time living in Berwick residents prided themselves in being in England
Not nearly so much now, it would seem. They are really unhappy with the loss of the town's status and subsumption into Northumberland. I was, all the same, mildly surprised that a voodoo poll had such a strong vote for returning to Scottish control.
"Better financed public services, including free personal health care for the elderly, were cited as the main reasons."
It's nothing to do with identity, it's proof positive that Berwickians think Scots get a better deal from UK public spending, as they do.
But how long would superior welfare benefits last in an indy Scotland, especially with oil at $50 a barrel, and running out?
You're too intelligent to deny the obvious answer. iScotland could survive in the long term, even prosper, but the first decade or two would be cruel, especially for the poor.
I very much doubt that oil will remain at that level - and it is not running out. But independence is not on the agenda at the moment anyway.
Looks like crossover has been achieved with Opinium then!
Possibly, but let's await tonight's YouGov poll for the Sunday Times. If the Blue Team lead in that too, I think even OGH would have to concede (in a very muted way of course) that the Tories are now ahead.
Don't agree with that - Con 1% lead with Opinium is on same fieldwork dates as Lab led with both Survation and YouGov. So provides no evidence of Con lead at that point.
Since then we have one Con lead, one Lab lead and one tie.
So whatever YouGov says tonight it is one poll to add to a base which is bang on tied. Not remotely enough to conclude anything.

Fox jr is swinging between Labour and Green in Norwich South. Definitly on the register there.
My hinting that the Greens are the best choice are subtle, and completely independent of my bets on the Greens there at good odds!

Although it is only one poll tonight's YouGov will impact on the narrative and if the CON lead is unchanged or up that will reinforce the betting. Also interesting to see the leader ratings.
I notice that in the chart in this article, it is clear to see Tories uptick equates to UKIP downtick. Not that surprising in itself. I guess the question is, are there any more votes that Tories can regain from UKIP'ers, or is that now the hardcore, Cameron has f##ked me off big time, he can shove it where the sun doesn't shine, brigade?
And will Green's continue to poll at current amount and / or Lib Dem recover?

That's exactly as it was when I lived there including supporting England even though Berwick played in the Scottish league
The 'Gifts' section is also interesting, juxtaposing Mr A. Campbell's tract on how to succeed alongside mr K. Hardie's historic electoral address as it does. And their use of 'Historic' is just a wee bit unfortunate - for instance in "You know Labour government works - Historic Labour Poster".

Two lifelong Labour voters in my household who will not be ticking the Ed box this time. Both leaning Tory and will, in my opinion, actually take the plunge if they think the current Labour party has a chance of winning.
Attitudes towards property ownership are part of the driver, and Ed is making disliked Dave the preferable option.

Oil is at $56 and the best we can say is it is volatile. Currently its is at about a third of what Salmond was predicting for its future. Shale oils clearly mean that 'boom oil' is over. Peak Oil never happened. Scotland can fantasise about not needing to balance their budget (its a seductive 'spend other peoples money' bribe) but the reality is they like the rest of the UK suffered from Brown's massive 50% spending increase in real terms between 2000 and 2010. Current Scottish spending is as unaffordable as England's.
Sturgeon's economics and politics was clearly learned at the knee of Miliband Snr. Sadly Scotland is welcome to her.

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if you were right about Berwick, and especially the footie. But the discussion (and this is not in itself a criticism of your comments, but another issue altogether) does highlight what I have been coming to feel about the issue of the SNP in wider UK politics. Too much of the discussion in PB and elsewhere has assumed that the SNP is about indy, which is of course true in the long run. But I really don't think enough thought has been given to the implication of a party with the SNP's policies as an actor in wider UK politics in the short and medium term. This will be an interesting area to play out, in the event that the SNP hold the balance of power (and I think they will be a lot subtler than is currently being screamed on the pages of the DM and DT, though that's hardly difficult).
All the same, it would have been interesting to see what happened if the SNP had put up a candidate there - it being a hard enough seat to call at the moment anyway.

Goodnight. And thanks for the kind remarks. You were always the wisest and most gracious of the pb Nats.
I actually agree with you about indy. I don't believe Sturgeon will go for another referendum after 2016 (even if she gets a Holyrood majority - not by any means guaranteed). So really we should be talking about how a big new regional party impacts on Westminster - the same way the PQ impact on Ottawa and the Catalans in Madrid.
As of now the Scots are well placed to have their autonomy cake, and eat the English cake, too.
The SNP aren't stupid enough to forego another Indyref next Holyrood term. They know how much waiting for "the right moment" completely destroyed the Quebecois movement. They won't make the same mistake. they added 20pts in the two year campaign this time. They only need to add 6pts next time.
The author of that article is permanently offended and quite nicely sums up the Labour party. Controls on immigration is not racist. Unless of course you want to classify the vast majority of countries as being racist.
I love political commemoratives and have stuff going back to the great reform act campaigns pre-1832. They sort of seal a moment in time.
Not exactly political, but I had a plate celebrating the coronation of Edward VIII, worth quite a bit for obvious reasons. My wife dropped it while dusting.

Yup. That guy sums up what's gone wrong with Labour. Nothing to say at all about Labour endlessly giving into the Right on austerity (something where the public has left-wing views), yet kicking up a stink about being mildly more anti-immigration just because it offends his liberal sensibilities. The party's job is supposed to be to protect poor people, not to make a few London middle-class people feel morally "right on".
