It is widely known that London tends to have a different view of the world than the rest of GB and so it appears to be with this month’s Euro elections.

So we finally have an answer to that question about the chicken and the egg.
The chicken came first, then the egg.
They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring.
It must be time for Mr Eagles notorious 'jam joke'.
The election that made me a Tory.
None. It fell down the stairs.
To be honest, I think scores of 36-38% for UKIP are a bit too good to be true. c.30% seems more plausible.
REMEMBER TOMORROW. The next Dirty Dicks (opp Liverpool Street station in London) gathering will start 6.30pm. Looking forward to seeing as many PBers as possible.Nige should've done a Prescott and banged him out!
All three would see PM Nige nailed on ?

If he had banged the idiot out the boost would be even bigger, so a bit disappointing
Sorry to be pro UKIP, all I did was predict they would do well in the polls etc.. and they have.
I have the betting slips to prove it

Dunno why they would offer him a Nobel prize though....I have been saying the same for years!

UKIP 7/2 (Lad)
LD 200/1 (PP)
Fortunately we have some experience of socialism in the 1970's and it was complete and total disaster, but given how long ago it was, those that can remember have had their memories dulled with time and of course many millions now have know memory of the three day week, power cut's, winter of discontent, etc...
We know that everything in life is circular and I do get the feeling Brit's are ready to go back to a proper socialist government. What will be interesting (assuming they get their wish) is how long it takes them to get fed up with it.
The immigrant egg was up and at work, whilst the British egg was just looking to get laid.
"Heath was a socialist."
Blair was a tory
Picketty's remedies are just old wine in new bottles.

Neither capitalism nor communism work all the time. The trick is to work out where each has it's place.
(Don't ask the Lib Dems, they are as clueless as the rest)
Heath was weak and ineffective (and his opponents strong and prepared to push the limits of what should be acceptable in a democratic society) but he wasn't a socialist

Wonder how much they have taken on that
Wine usually improves with age...
Yes, but only because it seemed the least bad option. (I am of a generation who see voting as an obligation)
Picketty's work is based on an absolute acceptance of capitalism and has nothing to do with socialism whatsoever. In my book, he is spot on to focus on the growing differential between a super elite of wealthy people and corporations and the rest. It's just not sustainable.
Personally, I think it's entirely the wrong question.
ExxonMobil have published their Global Energy Outlook to 2040.
There are some interesting charts on supply and demand, and CO2 production where Asia is romping away.

Still, it led to Maggie, so he can be proud.
Isn't the "Big Society" a form of socialism? (whatever happened to that idea?)
Oxford Migration Observatory finds there are 1.6 million more EU migrants in the UK than Britons living in other EU countries.
More to follow.
Briscoe found guilty. LIAMT said something big would come out of the case, is this it?
It's not like the good old days I tells ya.
No, The idea of socialism is that co-operation is better than conflict. Most religions espouse it.
Unfortunately mankind is to busy grabbing what it can to understand.
We are more like chimpanzees than bonobos unfortunately.
Rather an extreme position to bracket together all immigrants as good/all Brits as bad.. not very broad minded but there you go
Normally a left wing position to take, but just goes to show UKIP is uniting the old regime!
Briscoe a 'compulsive and self-publicising fantasist’ says Chris Huhne. Right back at ya
In a barrister???? surely not....
And yes, of course Heath gets some of the blame; he was weak and made misjudgements, but he did try to do something about it, as Wilson had before him. What you have to understand, though, is that they didn't have the public's support for the battle; we hadn't, as a country, finally confronted the reality. The entire public mood, and the establishment view, was that we should fudge and hope for the best, that nothing more could be done.
Maggie was able to rescue the country through a mixture of four things, which came together at the same time: her own strength of purpose and moral clarity, the fact that the public had finally, by 1979, got so sick and tired of the wreckers that they were receptive to taking them on, the luck that the Falklands War boosted her position at just the right time, and the fact that she had some really good support from Tebbutt, Keith Joseph and a handful of others.
It was still a close-run thing: there was nothing inevitable about her success, and I don't think it could have been achieved in the period before her premiership, given that the In Place of Strife opportunity had been thrown away.

If he hadn't encouraged his wife to lie about the original speeding offence then none of this would have happened
Just got 100 on at 11/10 in my High Street. Had to wait five minutes while they contacted Head Office for somebody who knew they were offering such a bet, but it was worth it.
