In the news

Hmmm, I thought the choice of that fat hypocritical Jabba the Hutt wannabe Ed Balls was the more egregious error.

Ha, ok.

Alexander- off the pitch, Michael Foot- you're on.

@danstuff not suggesting them on basis of character, just proclaimed political affiliation.

Nick Robinson... it's not a selfie if someone else took the picture.
I have had so many conversations with people lately who use the words "selfie" and "photo" interchangeably. I don't know why it annoys me so much BUT IT DOES.

@Hats has got her indignation priorities right.

I have given up caring about the big picture and work myself into a rage over inconsequential fripperies instead.

UKIP zit is brewing.

fripperies.

Have to google this, great choice of word.

Like Tony Benn,Ed Balls,Yvette Cooper, Danny Alexander.... the list goes on. Heaven forbid some people attend Oxford and read PPE, down with that sort of thing.

Yes, this is exactly my point. The people you list are all MPs.

If you want to be an MP, get a PPE. And because Nick Robbo was a young Conservative at the time, I believe he wanted to become a Tory MP.

No worries though because he is now completely unbiased in his role as BBC political editor.

So he should be less biased by refusing to appear beside Britain First?

I don't care who he stands next to, he will always be a 'Right Cunt'.

That's what his mum said

Ah, misunderstood. Thought you were going for the Oxbridge education= priviliged Tory thing.

Apologies

How are you supposed to know if someone went to Oxbridge?

^ Because they don't half fucking bang on about it...

I got as far as "parasitic tape worm" and "brain"

" The shaken Onegiu then instinctively reached for his firearm and shot the fleeing reptile dead. "

bit of a belgrano situation there ?

" The incident left him traumatized and “stressed” and he felt like leaving his work station but consolation and encouragement from his colleagues, family and friends made him stay. "

good for him

Uganda Innit. Probably had ACAB tatooed on its shell
or maybe he thought it was gay and summarily executed it.

bit of a belgrano situation there ?

Was the tortoise zigzagging in and out of an exclusion zone? Totes legitimate target if it was.

Copper in ridiculous compo claim shocker

Labour MP tries to do damage limitation and implies that there are no ordinary people in London:

A senior Labour MP, who is not a supporter of Miliband’s leadership, added: “Anyone who thinks that Ed Miliband didn’t need to sack her needs their head examining. I am sure people in London believe he overreacted but I would say that they need to leave London and meet some ordinary people.”
