If you want to develop a conspiracy theory, note that Boulton's wife is Russian, as indeed Aaron Banks' is too. Boulton was one of our spooks of course. There is an interesting comnnection to the LDs via Mike Hancock, who assisted Mrs Banks stay in the UK. Curious and curioser.
Certainly have been a curious number of Russian women marrying much older but politically significant types of late.
... and mythologising of their foundation, but even so), particularly when it comes to literal readings of what people hundreds of years ago thought.
You are talking about a nation in which large numbers of the populace apply literal meanings to what people in the Middle East wrote thousands of years ago and try to apply that to modern life.
Stephen Paddock, Las Vegas Suspect, Was a Gambler, a Cipher, a ‘Lone Wolf’ https://nyti.ms/2fKfXwr
That has to be one of the crappiest pieces on a criminal going. Bloke living near Vegas like to have a gamble, really, blow me down with a feather. Other than that we have found out basically f##k all.
The only vaguely interesting / relevant bit was he was divorced 27 years ago, no kids and appears no big recent drama.
His two favorite things about his new home in Nevada were that it kept him close to the gambling and music scene on The Strip, with country shows a favorite for the suspected gunman.

Hmmm. Now that is strange. Country fan opens fire on his fellow country music fans?
Normally that would be a hugely significant tweet. Sadly we all know Andrea Leadsom isn't bright enough to understand what non tarrif barriers are.
TSE... we don't have zero non-tariff barriers now.
So Andrea is presumably picturing full EU political integration. One law, one people.
Years ago I wrote a piece saying that instead of focusing on a single currency the EU should have focused on a single language, English obviously.
English is probably the best language in the world!
You’re having a giraffe, Latin, Norman French, French, and German are better languages.
The language that gave us schadenfreude, ipso facto, is the best language in the world.
Swearing in French, that’s like wiping your arse with silk.
Eagles - Francophobe in all things but language? How odd. France has many plus points, but its language is Merde. Clunky and awful. The noun de la noun de noun de noun. Interminable. And all the words trail off into some unvoiced nasalism. I don't object to Renauly rhyming with Peugeot, but I do object to the reduncnacy of all the letters at the end of the words. And so few synonyms. Silly language.
WHY of WHY of WHY do people insist on filming the word in portrait? This would be a fine way of filming the conversation if the protestor was sitting on JRM's shoulders for the conversation, but for two people standing next to each other, landscape is by far the better medium.

Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir, voulez vous coucher avec moi, would sound so sleazy in any other language.

I think that is to do with the way most people hold a phone; upright. It is easier to hold than having it horizontal.

Is it me, or is that wording on the wall behind speakers at the Tory conference wonky?
Don't know about the lettering, but the sentiment is hilarious. One thing that is not going on, is any 'building'.
Unless you count weird shaped skyscrapers in the City.
You can ruin a country; you could try, if you are optimistic, to govern a country; you might, in extremis, save a country. But you don't build a country.
America’s deadliest shooting incidents are getting much more deadly http://wapo.st/2wsvO5J
The number of deaths in today's tragic incident was equivalent to the number of people killed by firearms in just one US city - Chicago - last month. We focus on the mass shootings that make the news - but it's a way bigger problem in US society - often in inner city areas in places that have the tightest gun control laws.
Good grief Sunil, how many times are you going to post that chart?! It was mildly amusing the first time; after about 5 or 6 prepeats it's getting rather tedious pal.
" Data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive reveals a shocking human toll: there is a mass shooting – defined as four or more people shot in one incident, not including the shooter – every nine out of 10 days on average."

If you define a mass shooting as 4+ victims (and mofo if you want to try and argue "only" four victims is not a 'mass' shooting then that is whack) there have been 273 mass shootings this year in America.

Sunil's Bar Chart is an excellent reminder of reality. The way some posters go on about how hopeless the Tories are and how they are in high speed terminal decline one could be forgiven for thinking that Labour had a 150 seat majority and were 50 points ahead in the polls.

Come again?
Great reply
Thank you fans, but sadly I must take my coat and leave you for now. Back tomorrow nite, when hopefully the main news item will be a little less grisly.
I kid you not I just flicked on fox news and they were talking about the only way to stop it is metal detectors everywhere and that is against civil liberties....

As a matter of interest how have you got Fox news - stopped broadcasting in UK some weeks ago

So they've moved on from their old position on the only way to stop gun violence is for schools and others to have more guns/armed guards.
BTW what were the Catalan plods doing when the outsiders from Santander and Seville were cracking skulls ?
Are the boys from Barcelona the soft lads of Iberia ?
Video showed some of them standing against the outside forces and protecting the public
To bring two themes together, thank God Spain has no equivalent of the second amendment. Death toll = nil, afaik, because no one had the inalienable right to bring an AK47 to the party on Sunday.

There are lots of ways, but one is the live section of YouTube.
I think I want a Hard Brexit JUST so it will make Anna Soubry cry. Again.
Emmanuel Macron: If Cameron attacks, everything will be alright.
Michel Barnier: Monsieur Macron... Cameron...
Angela Merkel: Cameron didn't have enough Remainers. The Remain victory didn't take place.
[Macron pauses to take off his glasses]
Macron: The following stay here: Tusk, Merkel, Barnier and Juncker. [The four named EU bigwigs, along with Hollande and Verhofstadt, remain in the room as the others leave. The door closes behind them] That was an order! Cameron's attack was an order! How dare you ignore my orders?! [Macron's ranting is clearly audible outside the room] Is this what it came to? The Commission, everybody lied to me. Even the LibDems! The Remainers are no more than a bunch of disloyal cowards!
Juncker: Monsieur Macron, I can't permit you to insult the British Remainers-
Macron: They are all cowards, traitors and failures!
Juncker: Monsieur Macron, This is outrageous!
Macron: The Commission are the scum of the European Project! [flings a pencil onto the table] NO SENSE OF HONOUR! You call yourself "Commissioner" because you spent years at the academy, where you only learned how to use a knife and fork! For years, the Commission obstructed me. All you ever did is thwart me. What I should have done, is had all the high officers fired, like Donald Trump did! [pauses] I never went to the academy. But I conquered all of France on my own. Traitors! I've been betrayed and deceived from the start. Such enormous betrayal of the European people. But all these traitors will pay. They will pay with their own jobs! They will drown in their European Regulations!
Theresa May:[To Anna Soubry, outside the room] Anna, please calm yourself!
Macron: All my orders have been ignored. How can I be a French President under these circumstances? It's over. The war is lost. But if you think this means I'll leave Brussels... you're wrong. I'd rather give Nigel Farage fellatio! [sighs] Do whatever you want.

Law of the jungle rule no. 1: don't troll the management.

To bring two themes together, thank God Spain has no equivalent of the second amendment. Death toll = nil, afaik, because no one had the inalienable right to bring an AK47 to the party on Sunday.
On the other hand, if Spain had the Second, then the people would have won yesterday, and Catalunya would now be independent. The police would never dare move against a similar body of American citizens.
e.g. Imagine 1000 Feds trying to take on a million Texans bent on independence
In many ways Catalunya is an argument FOR much more liberal, US-style gun laws.
I suspect that under those circumstances the Spanish authorities would have responded with real bullets rather than rubber ones. The final outcome would have been the same but with lots more dead people on both sides.

On the other hand that might have escalated things rather quickly into civil war.
