The UKIP leadership race is down to four with Paul Nuttall the 1/4 odds-on favourite. It is hard to see anyone beating him.

Can any PBer fluent in Brexlish translate what 'foreign' means in this context?

Perhaps Mr Hannan can release categorised lists of nationalities by level of foreignness, just so we can prepare for our bright, new, internationalist future.
If only Hannan wasn't so reticent about committing his thoughts to print!
let’s bow our heads for a moment at a centenary just past: that of the first major action by Canadian soldiers in the First World War.
The Second Battle of Ypres, fought in April and May 1915, was monstrous even by the standards of the Western Front. It was the first time that the Germans used chlorine gas. The men of the 2nd Canadian Brigade alone held their position as the yellow-green clouds engulfed the troops around them. It did not take long for the venom to dissolve the Allied line, leaving heaps of dead and dying men, their faces mottled, froth on their tortured lips. Later, the Canadians were hit by a second gas attack; their casualty rate was one in three.
Few Britons can talk of the Canadian war effort without a catch in their voice. The thought of those young men, every one a volunteer, crossing half the world to defend our country makes us emotional even a century later. Despite almost unimaginable fatalities — 67,000 Canadians killed and 250,000 wounded out of a total population of 7 million — the children of those veterans rushed to volunteer in the Second World War: a million men and women in all.
What made them do it? Was it simply affinity of blood and speech, a determination to stand by a kindred people? Obviously that was part of the explanation. But I can’t believe it was the whole story — that the First and Second World Wars were ethnic conflicts, different only in scale from, say, the breakup of Yugoslavia or the Hutu-Tutsi massacres. Read the letters that those volunteers sent home, listen to contemporary accounts of the conflict, and you find a clear sense that people were fighting “for freedom.” The values of the English-speaking peoples were repeatedly contrasted against the enemy’s authoritarianism. We were better than the Prussians and the Nazis, we told ourselves, because we elevated the law above the government, the individual above the collective, fair dealing over raison d’état.
But what made us that way? Was it something in our genes? Something in our soil? Hardly. The Anglosphere was dispersed across many continents and archipelagos. People of every creed and colour had adopted its values.
So what was it? And what is it? What magic formula still distinguishes Bermuda from Haiti, Hong Kong from China, Canada from Cuba? The answer to that question brings us to the second centenary, that of Magna Carta, which first established the principle that the law was not simply the will of the king or the biggest guy in the tribe.
Usual suspects whining about Tories/Brexit/the UK.
Shakes head and wonders if habitual losers have a life.
Checks out.

Warning as hundreds of jailed terrorists back on UK streets

Probably said heh...what's the point waste of time and money ( which would be correct)
BRING BACK THE GALLOWS Ukip leadership favourite Paul Nuttall says he would hold referendum on bringing back death penalty for child killers
He said if 'enough people' signed a petition he would give the public their say on reintroducing capital punishment

Off topic: Trump and the Russians.
Vyacheslav Ivankov is a really interesting guy. Hung out a lot in Trump properties. Trumps debts to Russians who have links to the Kremlin, and the Russian mob many of whom also have links to the Kremlin, runs into hundreds of millions. One of the reasons for his tax return reluctance.
That I suspect is the possibly predictable last turn of the news cycle wheel unless the FBI mysteriously leak every second of the current investigation. Predicting anything else coming out of the cracks is guesswork.
All those Canadian tube bombers, and Canadian heritage Rotherham rapists under the microscope?
Life's just not fair, eh?
Alfa Bank and the potentially strange transactional relationship and methods with the Trump Organisation
Stuff seems to be floating to the surface at the moment. Proper stuff.
If there was genuine concern Labour could have and should have opened one. They didn't possibly because they thought they would receive the same fallout hence probably thought better to leave until the first born, baby eating pitch fork handlers were back in power.
Perhaps this is one for Mr Vaz in his new role on the justice committee to break his duck?

That seems to block one of Trumpy's routes to ECV of 270
"Stephen Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law, said, "I would be surprised if this complaint leads to anything significant, but I would also be surprised if Comey's tenure as the FBI director will not be shortened." "
You don't say. Day one, hour one of Clinton presidency: "pass me the FBI file".
The Trump Organisation's links to around 200 concerns in Russia seems quite high.
The man is in Russia's pocket and is far over his head he has to go with it.
the article loses all credibility at the lennon quote
"Emile Durkheim was not a conservative, but as one of the founders of modern sociology he studied the forces that bound groups together and created communities in which individuals were willing to restrain themselves and live according to rules and norms. "
aye and lennon was a bit of a tit who could write a good tune (but not as good as Paul
To win Trump therefore needs Colorado or Pennsylvania, New Hampshire would not be enough if he did not win one of the former too
I know I'll be all right.
Philadelphia."

lol - I wouldn't even bother to open the link

Obviously you're prejudiced.
As for the 'smoking gun': Multinational corporation has periodic communication of some form with a major bank in Russia. So what?
"from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President."

One thing that occurred to me of one possible explanation not detailed by the nerds investigating this is that some Russians have hacked into trump & that is what they are seeing in the weird traffic profiles.
