....However a campaign group has sent a formal complaint to the Football Association in which it calls for an independent investigation into the issue. In the four-page complaint, Race for Sport, an off-shoot of the Society for Black Lawyers, says the decision to consider the matter closed is "unacceptable". It also demands "cultural intelligence" training for Hodgson and all football managers.
The order of the Crown Court at Southwark (Cooke J) in the Libor proceedings, dated yesterday, seems reasonable at first sight, and certainly on an interim basis. It prevents the identification of people who are named in, but not charged on an indictment. It does not prohibit the naming of any of the defendants. It is a bit off for an individual to be dragged through the mud as an alleged conspirator in someone else's trial. It would also likely prejudice any separate criminal proceedings against any alleged conspirator named in, but not charged on the indictment. As ever, Paul Staines fails to grasp the issue. This is a man who once instructed counsel to challenge a non-existent court order.

I heard a American politician on a US news channel a few months back,he was fighting his corner on America being land of the free or something like that ;-) he blurted out that America shouldn't go down the same path as the most PC country in the world 'Britain'

Does that mean he wants everyone to freeze?
This is an utterly silly argument...
A utterly silly argument run by a utterly silly man - Tom newton-dunn,no wonder the sun going down hill.
But the government gave this silly idea legs and deserve what they get.
Greenwich & Woolwich Labour selection update...ward branches nominations as follow:
Charlton ward: Matthew Pennicook, Annie Keys Woolwich Common: Len Duvall, Annie Keys Greenwich West: Matthew Pennycook, Kathy Peach, Annie Keys Blackheath Woolacombe: Matthew Pennycook, Kathy Peach, Annie Keys Woolwich Riverside: Len Duvall, Annie Keys Glyndon: Len Duvall, Angela Conforth Peninsula: Matthew Pennycook, Kathy Peach, Annie Keys
Each branch should nominate a man and a woman. If both of them are white, they can add a third nomination for a BAME candidate.
I don't have info about the affiliates nominations. To stay in the race and be longlisted, candidates need at least 1 nomination. However, ward branches nominations are usually more indicative of the final outcome than affiliates nominations (because ward members are the selectorate in the end). Candidates nominated by branches covering 50%+1 of the CLP membership are automatically shortlisted. Remaining longlisted candidates will be interviewed by the selection committee (on November 9-10).
By the state of things, David Prescott doesn't look as having chances (even if he gets noms from affiliates to be longlisted).

Great news for / from SeanT. It must give you a fantastic inner glow.
Last night I was experiencing the work of another wordsmith from our nations rich literary heritage, a play called Richard II by a little know competitor of Seans, William Shakespeare.
It was the first / press night at Stratford, David Tennant is good at Shakespeare, it was a really good performance on many levels. I have only just recovered from the excess of alcohol from the after show reception. All in all a good night, but maybe not as good as SeansTs

He is so intensely aggravating it is unbelievable. Look at his website and see that for someone who claims to be a top barrister he is extraordinarily illiterate. Go to the Society of Black Lawyers website and look in vain for any details on leadership and number of members. What he is brilliant at, though, is exploiting the media's intense desire for stories. He gives then what they want, he is a barrister (ooh er) and he speaks on behalf of this legitimate-sounding organisation. That's all they need. Whether he represents anyone's views but his own is neither here nor there. He reminds me very much of those fanatic Moslem group spokespeople who get huge amounts of coverage without actually having any real support.

Good morning. I know I am specifically allowed to boast and gloat, as per my promise to John O to put £50 behind the bar at the next pb do (which I shall).
However these comments have become so exultant they start to embarrass even me, so this may well be the last.
Suffice to say my agents persuaded me to REJECT the Quarter of a Million Dollars offered by one US publisher. REJECT. They said "there is a risk in this, but we think we can get more".
After my initial shrieks of anguish - how can anyone reject a quarter of a mill, for stuff you've already done? - I saw the logic, strapped myself to the mast, and let my agents steer past the island of sirens.
At 2 this morning, a new offer came in. It involved the words "HALF A MILLION".
I may not be posting for a few days, as I recover my composure/call tailors in Savile Row/drink vintage champagne/shift my allegiance to Labour like all guilty rich people.
Your plenary indulgence is extended indefinitely. You have done well.
And it would be entirely remiss of me not to doff my cap at your personalized offer of two days ago (while I was absent through i. singularly failing to burn down the Reichstag and ii. all-night monitoring (sic) of Elmbridge's dogging crisis) of a gin and tnic, albeit without lemon.
And thus, it is with most humble obeisance that I plead, that after that HALF A MILLION, you might consent to reward these, you most humble servants in Dirty Dicks assembled, with most gracious additional munificence to the sum of £75 (naturally including VAT and CGT and a space of your own on Oxshott Common)
(I blame Neil for this greed - he made me do it on pain of exile to Sheppey)
£75 at Dirty Dicks wouldn't even buy a round. SeanT can surely do better than that. He must be near as darn it a millionaire now.
Bloody true! Two pints of Lager cost me just shy of a tenner last time I was in there.
Who has signed what 35 year deal ??! Bet it was Brown.
This government is signing a 35 year deal with EDF/the Chinese to build nuclear plants, and for which they will be guaranteed a minimum price of £93/MWh.
This is, of course, remarkably similar to the deals the government did with wind farm operators. People who built wind farms did so on the basis of 15 (or is it 18, I forget) year power purchase agreements - i.e. contracts. It is perfectly possible to stop issuing new contracts; it is not possible to invalidate existing ones.
So, when UKIP says they will stop green subsidies, they (presumably) mean they will not guarantee the price of electricity generated from new wind farms.
However, it is UKIP policy to invest in nuclear power. As no-one will build a nuclear plant in Britain unless guaranteed at least £93/MWh, this will cause bills to rise. (I find it mildly amusing that we are guaranteeing a floor for nuclear that is almost exactly the same as the price we offer for wind, but there we go.)

Decidedly average lager it was too.
