Apologies for the brevity of night hawks tonight.
I'm absolutely knackered at the moment, and am off to bed.
Night, TSE!
Well this is an app I won't be downloading. Fancy being nudged daily by this and then wasting time wether to answer or not.

If UKIP put Miliband in power in 2015, they will have missed the tide of history. I will be happy.

" Alexis de Tocqueville, whose travels around the country coincided with the spread of judicial elections, predicted that “these innovations will, sooner or later, have disastrous results.” It is a view shared by many of the judges running for office around the country."
"Electing judges is a bad idea because judges are not like politicians. It is fine for a politician to make deals with voters; to say, “Vote for me and I’ll raise the minimum wage” or “Vote for me and I’ll cut taxes.” But it is an abuse of power for a judge to promise—or even hint—that he will decide future cases on any basis other than the facts and the law. Standing for election gives judges an incentive to smile on people voters like and get tough on those they hate. That is hardly a recipe for impartiality."
"Vote for me and I’ll jail the people you hate"
"When first introduced, elections were seen as a way to insulate judicial nominations from the perception of corruption. Now they are having the opposite effect."
I've got a better slogan "Vote for me I'll set you free"
There was a nightclub thing about 20 years ago about drinking beer through a sock in Cardiff. Which was sophisticated, I felt, for the times.
And mixed marriages are a good proxy for other racial views. Young people are much more happy with racial and sexual equality than their elders. The party of Bloom is doomed. Tick, tock,tick tock...
2. Not a fan Re. this.
3. Will PM Boris finish up facing off against LOTO Farage one day?
4. Helpfully for the PM Parliament returns for a couple of weeks in early September.
5. I'd like someone to go through Mr and Mrs Farage's gravy-train expense's with a fine tooth comb...
6. UKIP is living in a fantasy world and anyway they don't want a referendum now or in the future as it put's them out of business and could take them off the gravy-train.
7. Isn't it 18th September yet?
8. Ditto.
9. Ditto.
10. The UK has always been one of the most peaceful and tolerant nations on Earth. And the trends look good.
11. Cameron is entitled to go wherever the hell he likes in his own country.
12. If Scotland slings their hook next month we should throw Wales a bone and change the British flag to Red, White and Green. IMO.
13. Where does The Sunil get all this information from?
14. War is hell.
When they become dads and moms their priorities start to change.
However, the Rotherham scandal indicates that in much of the country, the future well belong to UKIP.
It's also vital we don't brush it all under the carpet because the truth of what went on is too uncomfortable to confront.
Very poor and juvenile attempt to wind people up on the site.
There's no racists or people with aggressive anti-immigration agenda posting on PB are there?
UKIPs xenophobia is not racist, it is mostly against white european immigration, but it is against diversity and how diversity changes society.
No I don't believe there are.
That's why its a very poor and juvenile attempt....
Newport on the other hand...

So one easy solution for the politically correct is to stop covering up the gang-rape and torture of thousands of children.
What on Earth could it be?
But no one can remove him from office, so he can still be in a position to cause trouble for the police.

Who else put the rot into Rotherham?
Cardiff is something of a stag destination now too which I find odd, but then I live here.
Think it'll end there for labour, Mr Speedy? LOL
A couple of gay male friends have casually enquired as to Cardiff's totty potential, possibly after the Gareth Thomas' coming out.
I couldn't possibly comment!!!
"Also interesting that Cameron has an approval rating of 30% in Scotland"
I think that's because a lot of Scots don't consider him anything to do with them. Berlusconi would I suspect have a huge approval rating in the UK. He doesn't interfere in our politics and he has a libido. What's not to like?
You shouldn't have a man like that in that position, it's too dangerous that he will abuse it, it's common sence, that is why PCC election turnouts are 10% or less, people have rejected the creation of the post.
Instead of having the danger of elected PCC's abusing their office for political or personal gain you should abolish the post.
If you disagree just read your own posted Economist article.
Don't be too hard on the fellah. I seem to remember he has a stake on zero UKIP seats.
It must be a difficult time....

Anybody think we could have a new Speaker by Bonfire Night?
A smear on whom?
But of course, criminals should be brought to justice.
Panda faked pregnancy.

When you have an elected post the guy who gets elected will tend to cater to enough people he needs to get elected and shove the rest down the trash can, but when that post is a civil service function like Law and Order you need to take care of the whole of society not just a large enough share of voters.
The bitch! Was she trying to trap him..
Ace. An unusual consensus we've reached, Mr Jones.
The turnout problem was because the LDs made the idiotic decision to insist the elections be held in November rather than the same time as the local elections
Are you saying that using a real example like Rotherham to make any sort of political point (like "Rotherham council services, schools and Police were doing a really crap job") is essentially racist?
So are your posts simply a straw man argument that anyone making any sort of point from the Rotherham case is a racist?
Because, of course, the real racists are those who did not aggressively prosecute serious crime because of the ethnic origin of the suspects.
I did wonder if it was straight out of The Daily Mash.
They will struggle to get a single seat next year, then a Miliband government will finish them off.
Maybe we need to get rid of the crime of under-age sex and treat it as rape, the victim not having the capacity to consent.
Leather on willow? Tea? Real ale? Wars? Chips? White faces?
May have been level under last weeks methodology.
As for the "party of Bloom", I don't know what you're referring to. He doesn't have a party since UKIP kicked him out.
So the party has kicked out Bloom (Farages old friend and flatmate), its a start I suppose. Hamilton is still Deputy Chair though in the party of the future...
In the case of Rotherham, you have a toxic combination of old fashioned snobbery towards "slutty" lower class girls, and modern political correctness which views "good community relations" as paramount.
