See these are now paling into insignificance compared to one Tory £87,000 fiddled over 4 years.

Lets start a Forever Reds party and move Parliament north, could put it in Media City loads of cheap space and accomodation there for the MPs.

Well, if the BBC are moving to Salford...

She`s gawn

et tu bruti

Shouldn't that be et tu brute ? or do you know more (and better) latin than me?

plural I think

Then surely it should be "et vobis bruti"?

should we stop here now and give ancient languages a rest
Clarendon Latin was never any good

First decent thing shes ever done and to think she has signaled the end for "Bottler Brown"

Potentially not voting could change things dramatically. Your average joe public who votes for one of the main parties may think why bother and join the masses who cant be bothered voting anyway. People who have extreme opinions will jump on the NBP/UKIP bandwagon and where will that get us. I was having a conversation with somebody I know last week who has voted Labour for 50 years. I used to think even if Labour created WWIII they would still get their vote. However for various reasons and particularly on immigration they have switched to BNP

In my opinion if you want to show your disapproval, vote for something different the GREEN party. First time they have received my vote today.

Well I changed my mind yet again and voted UKIP having spoken to a mate of mine who works in the Fish Trade. He told me that the UK fishermen cannot fish in our own waters to substantial effect - the Spaniards, and the rest can of course - even 5 miles from Whitby but the UK restrictions are just Draconian and our own Industry is on the point of collapse. Much the same in Agriculture. Strange you never get to hear about these situations in the news - its all `spun` nowadays.

Did you check whether that was fact? I'm not calling your acquaintance a liar but there's a hell of a lot of misinformation about regarding regulations (trust me, I work in health & safety - I've had people claim to me that Europe has banned ladders).

UKIP biggest fiddlers of the lot of them in Europe, these tales about fishing rights are pure spin, what we should do is remove the quota altogether let all fish to their hearts content and then next year when there are no stocks left listen to the Fishing trade moan.
Agriculture, remember foot and mouth a couple of years back started in the North East next turned up in South Wales, rogue farmers running the same flock of sheep round the country to claim various European subsidies.
Like now nothing in the news about petrol being a £1 a litre the last time it was this dear Oil was $147 a barrel, now Oil is $68 a barrel, so Oil companies know that the press have other fish (pun) to fry and they can put the price up with no apparent public outcry its called profiteering.

As I was saying.

The low turnout means that despite 97% of the electorate not voting for them, the BNP now have 12% of the region's representation in Europe. All them protest votes worked a treat.

Back on Hazel, Sandi Toksvig described her as a "feral Krankie" on the Radio 4 News podcast quiz thingy.

(I know it's Radio 4 but there is quite a lot of funny stuff on the quiz podcast)
