Miliband is a hindrance in my opinion, he's someone with very little constructive to say and doesn't have the charisma to at least hide it well in a speech. But at the same time he hasn't been able to develop any credible policies, whether due to ineffectual leadership or internal party frictions; h...

Nicola Sturgeon saying Scotland will go independent at some point and that transfer of powers will slow the change. National politics is becoming holding people ransom, it's the start of the slow road to federalism, Westminister will fight it all the way but it's an inevitability

Finding out the day before a gig that the two support bands I was looking forward to have dropped out

Bought my bloodstock ticket today

A mate of mine invited me to hammerfest for £30! Bargain! Never been before and the line up isn't bad, anyone have any idea how it's working this year? are the hammerfest and aor bands getting a stage each with the other 3 getting one stage a day?

The population is so la...

Personally i think we should adopt a federal structure, even though i'd be dooming myself to perpetual torie rule. It won't happen because it would mean vastly weakening Westminister, but i think the UK as a whole would greatly benefit

The big issue i have with English MP's doing double duty is that we will still have less choice than the rest of the UK. We would have to choose an MP on their stance on England and the UK together, so if you'll have to compromise your views on the UK or England; whereas two separete MP's the issue ...

Opinoin seems to be divided over whose utilising English devolution more as a weapon, miliband or cameron. personally think its Cameron is as he's rushing it through while he has the advantage before next May; and he's ignored the issue of English MP's doing double duty. On the other hand Milliband ...

Nah.
