Thanks Harry.
It will be a big surprise if the Lib Dems gain this .
I did one years ago.
"Shooting and fishing are the only true social levellers. You can be fishing or shooting beside a farmer, a binman or a Lord."
I would beg to add Freemasonry to the list. One can sit down to dinner with a Duke of the Blood on one side and a taxi driver on the other and all get pissed together without side or distinction.

Re gambling being a social leveller, I worked for a spread betting firm in London for almost a decade, and the range of people there was v diverse
A Head boy at Eton, a prime ministers grandson, various Marlborough, Oxford and Cambridge types, but plenty of non university educated Essex boys, northern monkeys etc too.. I found it great fun mixing with the kind of people id never met before
@JackW had an Against The Grain meme too that provoked some great threads.
I bet the same could be said for coke addicts as well. Fishing, shooting, gambling, freemasonry and hard drugs. Any other candidates?
And has anyone done all of them? SeanT?
Why you think that FreeMasonry wouldn't have you I have no idea, unless you have particularly disgusting table manners.

If it had happened last week the SNP conference would have completely overtaken by IndyRef2
Now the zoomers are demanding it on Twitter; meanwhile... http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/how-economy-remains-obstacle-second-6685837
I must admit I voted Conservative at the election (a very hard decision due to work Sir Bob did for us a couple of years back)
Interestingly the conservatives in our patch have copied the tactic and are also getting involved.
Never lived in an area with this level of engagement from councillors before.
Next time my patch comes up for a (council) vote the Lib Dem gets my vote
He told me quite a bit about their rituals etc.
I asked half jokingly if I could join.
His reply was 'I don't think that you would take it seriously enough'
Not a bad judge of character tbh.

There is a very dark cloud over the BritNats current squealing. They do seem very intent on shutting down free speech and limiting all discussion to be in line with only what the BritNats find acceptable.
The only way they can get their lies and misleading half-truths to gain purchase is by shutting down all opposition to the vile BritNat viewpoint. They know they are losing the battle as their propaganda fails to do the job they want.

You really are being eaten up by this. It's a shame.
Malcg's area:
North Ayrshire and Arran electorate 75,791;
Central ayrshire 70,021;
Ayr Carrick & Cumnock 72,995
Charles' manor:
Chelsea and Fulham 63,478
Kensington electorate 61,133
It's not eating me up, it's indicative of the way that the BritNats are trying to frame the debate. They want the SNP to take action against people who are not members of the SNP. They want free speach limited by any means possible to allow their propaganda to go unchallenged.
It's just another excellent example of how the BritNats represent the dark side of nationalism in the face of an encompassing Scottish Independence movement.
Puncture for the outrage bus.

So in terms of votes cast, Scotland has the worst representation and therefore the least valuable individual votes in the United Kingdom.
Conservative GAIN Tottington (Bury) from Labour.
Going well for Corbyn then. Still, selecting Jon Lansman for Oldham will surely work out: http://www.sunnation.co.uk/labour-agitator-being-lined-up-for-seat-following-michael-meachers-death/
Why does this sound like Osborne?
It was merely heightened irony your examples were of some of the larger population seats in Scotland and smallest population seats in England.
Tottington (Bury) result:
CON - 52.2% (+14.0)
LAB - 30.9% (-10.5)
UKIP - 9.9% (-5.1)
LDEM - 4.3% (-1.0)
GRN - 2.7% (+2.7)
Seems about right to me
Would be interesting if UKIP select Paul Nuttall.
It has to be Karie Murphy. Please, please, please let it be Karie Murphy.
The NFL have extended their 2 games a year at Wembley contract until 2020.
They also have a contract to play 2 games a year at Spurs new stadium starting 2018.
The Jaguars will play 1 game a year at Wembley each year, and their owner has said fairly openly that if there is to be a London team, he wants it to be the Jaguars. They are not doing well in Jacksonville for attendance.
The NFL tried to buy the London Olympic stadium, so they are serious. Why?
The Jaguars Bills game on Sunday will be the 13th game played in London, and one fan in attendance will be the millionth UK NFL fan through the turnstiles. That's why. They also sell a huge amount of NFL stuff each game, over $1 million a game. That's why.
They are still trying to make the logistics work on having a team based there.
What are the NFC East standings looking like right now?
It's just another excellent example of how the BritNats represent the dark side of nationalism in the face of an encompassing Scottish Independence movement.
Squealing vile Britnats? Couple of mental stops to shooting people for the greater good.
Why does this sound like Osborne?
The wreath should be laid by the youngest member of the house, irrespective of party.

I really hope and suspect any changes like this are not because of party politics but is as said because of the health of the monarch. Though I think if the Queen can't serve her functions as monarch in an era of longer lifespans then perhaps she should retire (as the Dutch Queen did two years ago) rather than shorten our memorials to the those lost at war.
Get Junior on there.
@NicolaSturgeon: Note to my fellow independence supporters. People who disagree are not anti Scottish. Does our cause no good to hurl abuse (& it's wrong)
Maybe time for some re-education...
Funny seeing Farage now attacking the tax credits reforms when 100% of UKIP MPs have been backing them.
I'd back this idea.

BritNat Trolls are the problem, either the direct BritNat trolls like Ian Martin and Iain Smart or the Trolls-By-Proxy like Joanne Rowling. There was a delicious irony in Martin's celebration of cyber-attacks by Rowling against anyone that opposes her BritNat drool.
I am not an expert but surely it is false to compare strike prices for power plants that have not been built yet a decade from now to the prices generated by existing power plants (much of which will be retired within the next decade).
The comparison should be to the strike prices of alternative means of power generation and it seems that it is a lot more competitive then.
The music has never been the same since John Barry's departure, culminating in the simply dreadful theme song to Skyfall.
He said the same as Carswell did on Mondays daily politics re fields amendment
Why don't they all just lay them at the same time?
