FPT, Don Brind is entitled to argue that Stephen Harper, Lynton Crosby, and Canadian and British Conservatives play the race card. But, he should produce evidence for this, rather than simply assume that it's a given.
If the Dutch polls are correct and Wilders became Dutch PM (or a senior minister), could he even visit the UK (Isn't he banned???).
It seems no party has exclusive rights on idiots.
Mopping up green votes in right-on London where Labour already have the MPs.
The Labour candidate's name is Octavia. Speaks volumes.

A very sad thought: October 21st 2015 is the date Marty McFly and Doc Brown travelled forward to in Back to the Future Part 2.
We have six days to invent, build, commercialise and make ubiquitous compact nuclear fusion reactors, hoverboards and flying cars.
Apple and Tesla have really have been slacking.
Hover boards not allowed in public places.

Good, 3 hour debates are tiresome even to the audience.

The Dulwich Hamlets FC ground has always been a bone of contention. IIRC they did a deal with Sainsburys - who built a new store in the late 80's next to them I think they may have got a new stadium out of it.
When he came 2nd in Newark, PBers were saying it wasn't Lab and Lib that voted UKIP, they voted Tory tactically... People had inside apparently... Then at the GE labour got almost exactly the number of votes that UKIP lost... They must love a churn there!
Live and let live as long as its behind closed doors.
The GOP model has a different dynamic - two debates for a start. But 3 hours is a long time.
Behind closed doors eh?! How liberal of you!!
It is not uncommon amongst heterosexual couples to live in tri-relationships. People make choices. Deal with it.
I would say it was uncommon though to live in a tri-relationship, as would the huge majority of people... What % of relationships are of that nature?
Showing your prejudices oh enlightened one (in your own mind)
Marriage is not about love, or sex or children. It is a legal construct which has no real function in 2015. But as a bigot, you despise people who are gay, so you highlight this as a way to create the outrage on which all Kippers feed.
Luckily the world is smarter than you are, most people are smarter than you are and Kippers are dying out. That, is a very good thing.

You didn't post such a thing about a heterosexual couple (one of the worlds best known actresses lives in such a situation), you did it because you are a bigot and you despise gay people. You expected to find people joining your pogrom against homosexuals.
Luckily, there isn't much support for your bigotry. I am glad the world has moved on and you are so isolated.

I didn't post it about a heterosexual couple because the story I read wasn't about a heterosexual couple.
You can be as aggressive and unpleasant as you like, you're just making yourself look like a rabid moron with a chip on your shoulder looking for a fight. I haven't said anything bigoted or homophobic, you are just projecting.
Unfortunately I don't subscribe or visit any gay lifestyle websites, so I'll leave the reposts to you. And continue to laugh that you seem obsessed with a lifestyle that you and the rest of Kipperdom appears to detest.
Honestly, for all I know isam is bigoted, for all I know a lot of people on here are, but nothing said on this issue was evidence of that. People say incontestably bigoted and offensive things all the time, and jumping down throats at perceived bigotry which relies on heavy assumptions just lessens the power of the accusation later when it might actually have some weight to it.
Didn't work though
I neither detest gay lifestyle nor am I obsessed by it. I just thought it was an interesting story.
You are a complete idiot
For all his kipperdom, I cannot recall a homophobic remark by isam. I think the problem lies with the accuser.

One of the oddest reports out of Syria is the suggestion that Cuban regulars have turned up to man Syrian tanks. Perhaps Cuba's role as proxy forces for the Russians hasn't changed since the Cold War. You wonder whats in it for them these days.
The Israelis appear to have sent their response to the increased presence of various 3rd parties in Syria. They launched airstrikes into Syria, the first since Russian stepped in.
Whether I agree with the choices of the threesome, irrespective of their orientation is a different matter. And unlike Dair I would not write off the institution of marriage.
Sort out flightpath
The whole problem with human sexuality is that it does not conform to what a long term economic plan has decided it should be. Sometimes people might love others of the same sex, or more than one person, or all sorts of combinations as long as they involve consent and are medically safe.
The whole argument isn't about marriage and inheritance being equalisted, it's about abandoning this ridiculous legal framework so that everyone has some equality.
Maybe it's because they subconsciously (or otherwise) realise they might represent a threat to their own position and that of their children. Clever children from ordinary backgrounds treading on their territory.
He has just announced he has been a Lab member for 40 years.
If he has no opinion, then why bother us with it. Is there a betting implication, or is he auditioning for a job at Reuters?

There are two arguments against grammar schools:
Firstly, as currently instituted, they are hideously unfair on those of us born towards the end of the school year. Around 3x as many people born in September pass the 11-plus as those born in August.
Secondly, the data suggests (http://blogs.ft.com/ftdata/2013/01/28/grammar-school-myths/) that they don't do what they are supposed to do: i.e. to help bright kids from poor backgrounds achieve their potential.
It seems the first issue could be solved by "a creeping pass mark", but the second is a bigger issue.
Labour 436
Conservative 304
UKIP 176

8% Swing from Labour to Conservative compared with 2013
Incidentally I mentioned to Gillian Troughton that a "friend of a friend" had described her on this site as a bit Corbyny. She laughed - and not in a way that suggested she agreed with the description.
Not just any Tory, a Bullingdon Tory.
I live close to the excellent Henrietta Barnett school, and I hope my daughter gets in on the 11-plus to get there. In fact, I suspect all the girls from my daughter's incredibly expensive prep school will be applying there.
But just 23 kids in the whole of Henrietta Barnett get free school meals. That's staggeringly low - an average of less than one per class! (In fact, I suspect the private North London Collegiate takes more poor kids through its scholarship programmes.)
Everyone likes the idea of grammar schools. I like the idea of grammar schools. But the data and the evidence is clear: they do not promote social mobility,
But the data is the data: being born in September rather than August dramatically improves your chances of making it to a grammar school.
The bizarre part (or as some psychologist might argue the revealing part) is that he took it from gay website.
My sister went to Henrietta Barnett btw!
I don't think homosexuality is unacceptable in the slightest, and would happily read a gay website without thinking it was anything to remark upon. The story was in the daily mail but I thought people like you would fall into the obvious boring predictable trap of shooting the messenger, so I linked to it from a gay website
Sharpen up
