Brexit, for once some facts.

I can feel another "Russian Poisoning" scandal coming on to deflect attention away from this protest. The Salisbury one sort of worked and it did assist in burying the fact that May has managed to negotiate a new worse deal with the EU than the one we already have. However, I'm not sure the same Russian thing will work again so close to the last one. She needs something new. I know May is a devout Christian, so I would imagine that she is praying for a Royal murder, a crazed gunman going berserk in a primary school or an out of control and fully loaded petrol tanker crashing into an orphanage and exploding, a real headline grabber.
I'm sure our security services will manage something for her.

It's age, he's 009 now and not as active.

Please let there be a UK law or regulation prohibiting littering the Thames with dead fish. Hopefully one that would make JRM a criminal and ineligible to stand for parliament.
Maybe one of our more enterprising fishmongers will follow in another boat, trawling a net.

Or to do them for "Fly tipping" or the Fishy equivalent thereofMaybe one of our more enterprising fishmongers will follow in another boat, trawling a net.

Perhaps a sacrifice of Fried Sausages to the Crocodile God Offler is worth a try!
Or an EU inspector to check them for size and Quality?Maybe one of our more enterprising fishmongers will follow in another boat, trawling a net.

Would it be too much to ask that they throw him in after them to get them back?
What a shame Jackass has chickened out!

But Mr Rees-Mogg has since denied the claims, telling LBC: "I'm not throwing fish anywhere. I am not a fish-thrower.
"I think this has got slightly out of hand. There was a suggestion a fishing boat should go up the Thames in protest against the delay in leaving the Common Fisheries Policy, but I won't be throwing fish anywhere."
"I have a nasty feeling that if I were to start throwing fish, they would be brought back in the wind and hit me in the face."
What a terrible thing to happen!
Think of the poor Fish!
Get Lord Nigel to do it, everything he's done is Fishy!

The Labour Party continues to provide a home for a small group of career politicians who are not in the least socialist and get away with it because their constituents are apathetic and don't actually monitor what their elected representative get up to in parliament.
We know them as the Blairite faction or pink tories and their presence on the Labour benches ensures the tories have a few more votes on many issues than they are entitled to expect. I have often thought it nothing less than dishonest to stand for parliament claiming to be a socialist and then voting against the party on issues created by the tory party.
Many years ago, there were some in the Parliamentary Labour Party who disliked the direction of the party at that time in opposition and decided collectively to resign and start a new left of centre party. They became known as the 'gang of four' and founded the SDP. In the accompanying video clip, Tony Benn gives his view of Roy Jenkins and people like him.
That was 1981 and sadly, it would be another 16 years before the country would be rid of tory government. Unfortunately, the then incoming administration declared itself to be New Labour, drawing a distinction between their aims and those of 'old Labour'. The media loved it and Tony Blair became the darling of the media barons - there should be no need for anyone to wonder why! The rest, as they say, is history but as I look around at the politicians across the political spectrum today, they all seem to look and sound the same, with very few exceptions.
I look, for example, at Hilary Benn and I think, 'If only he were as astute and politically aware as his father!' If ever the common people needed a party to represent their interests as a change from force-fed tory doctrine and dogma being enacted upon them, that time is now and that ought to be the place of the Labour party to deliver the kind of government that is fair to the many and not the few.
Where are the Neil Kinnocks, the Tony Benns and Nye Bevans within the socialist movement today? Where is the passion to bring about change? We seem to have have created shedloads of apolitical clones who see the role of MP as a brilliant career choice - no degree or even A-levels required - and so long as they don't rock the boat, they get to enjoy membership of the best club in London, possibly for decades.
Step one is to acquire an election agent then they seek out the most promising marginals and decide which place and which side looks to have the best prospects. In step two, an application to and appearance before the local constituency party, with an appropriate CV/potted history/summary of political direction and immediate intentions to improve/right one or two outstanding matters locally is created. Beyond that, there is the de rigueur local rag photo-shoots with any nearby baby and a smiling mum included - instant popularity - obligatory stuff!
In previous times it was not unheard of for politicians to change their leanings and stand as a candidate for the 'other side' at some point so the label and colour of the rosette is secondary to the self-aggrandising nature of these political animals. The important point is getting elected into office and the decor and colour scheme are the equivalent of a flag of convenience.
Here is Tony Benn sounding off on QT when Robin Day chaired proceedings at the height of his fame:

Further to my last and on the subject of those who switch political allegiance to suit their personal agenda, does anyone remember the traitor political butterfly, Vince Cable?
The web blogger, AAV, reports on matters concerning thedespicable turncoat hugely experienced man of the people (not!) one V. Cable:

EXCLUSIVE - Did Russian exile Nikolai Glushkov die in a kinky sex game...? Putin enemy 'strangled with a dog lead and strung up so it looked like suicide' spent night with his young male lover before his body was found by daughter
He was an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin and blamed the Kremlin for the 2013 death of his close friend Boris Berezovsky, who was found hanging at his home near Ascot, Berkshire.
Aside from being in heavy personal debt, Mr Glushkov was also being sued for £87million by Russian state airline Aeroflot over claims he and Berezovsky embezzled the cash.
He was due to appear in the High Court in the coming weeks.
Still trying to lay the blame on Putin? don't trouble yourselves the readers comments show you have already done that

I prefer satellite reception, I find the signal is much more reliable than Vince Cable.
Looks like I got it wrong. It’s the turn of The Internet Giants to provide covering fire.
