I watched Question Time last night. I was left wondering why the people of Yorkshire are fixated with entering into a nuclear conflict with Iran. There was one guy who couldn't let go of the idea. He kept ranting on, in his comedy Yorkshire voice, about unleashing nukes. It was hilarious. I...

I think Theresa May is pinning her hopes on a prolonged and very harsh cold spell next winter. This coupled with the abolition of the winter fuel allowance could solve the social care problem, pension deficit and bed shortages in hospitals with one hit. If it's a mild winter, I've heard she is...

The last time I went to my doctor's surgery, there was a sign saying during that particular week, 26% of patients who had made an appointment didn't turn up and did not phone to cancel. That's appalling and apart from the most exceptional of circumstances, totally selfish and inexcusable. I'm...

It's like water off a duck's back to them.

It wasn't so long ago that May was dropping heavy hints that the UK would be less cooperative with the EU over counter terrorism matters if the course of BREXIT negotiations displeased her. In view of recent events, is she going to be held to account for making that statement? What is her...

....... and can someone please switch the power off at the BBC to stem the flow of emotional drivel?

I understand that the government has taken strong and stable action in the face the recent terror attack by raising the threat level to Critical. The government's strong and stable action has also been extended to the police, who's numbers Theresa May cut to dangerous levels, by bolstering them...

I sometime watch Al Jazeera during downtime at work. It's actually a decent news channel.

Political campaigning suspended, the question is for how long. My guess is until the social care debacle has sufficiently faded from prominence. I bet Theresa May has an erection the size of Nelson's Column this morning.

I've had enough of the repetitive speculation, emotional reaction and expert opinion already. Can we just have the relevant facts as and when it's appropriate to release them.

Yes, it takes me back a few years.

Looks like the media heat is off Theresa May and her social care attrocity this morning. I expect to see her on the TV later looking strong and stable.

We are leaving the EU, that is looking increasingly likely. Now the task is to leave in a way which is most advantageous for the UK. Some would argue that simply walking away is better than continued membership on our current terms. So it seems to me that the fall-back position is, if all else...

May I add to that working people don't really connect with millionaire barristers masquerading as representatives of the workers and talking, "faux street" in a pathetic attempt find non-existent common ground. What a bunch of...(very unpleasant word removed). Anybody know the odds for a...

This is well worth listening to. It's a compact summary of The Conservative's approach to BREXIT and their election manifesto. It's by Guardian journalist John Crace and was broadcast on Radio 4's PM programme last night (18th). The clip starts at exactly 50 mins and only lasts about 4 minutes...

Labour would do better to campaign along the lines you suggest. I have no faith that further investment in public services will yield much benefit. Failure, incompetence, dishonesty, greed and an unwillingness to be receptive to criticism is rife amongst public service management. It's...

I also like much of what is contained within the Labour manifesto. I like the intended long term outcome. What kills it stone dead for me is the means of delivery, spraying money everywhere like it's coming out of a fireman's hose. Let's take the NHS. An organisation that must never fall into...

I was watching Frankie Boyle on TV the other day. He said that if he had Branson's wealth, he would spend it all on towing Branson's island to Syria.

Tossers. I detest all of them. My local Tory MP is one of those under suspicion, the Labour candidate is a barrister (what does he care about ordinary working people and what's his motive?) and the Lib Dem candidate is totally unremarkable. Great choices for next months election.

My guess is that no criminal charges will be forthcoming. It will all have been due to an administrative error, and the MPs involved are all delightful honest people with the public's best interest at the heart of all that they do. Meanwhile in other news, last night a man dressed in a gorilla...
