Just worked out where it is, and it makes it an even more excellent photo in my book. Not sure I want to go and get it though!

Good work, especially on a night like this! Nice picture too

Well indeed. That is good news!

He can't actually win the nomination can he?

Unlikely. He's like Farage over here. He appeals to the Right's instincts, but when they actually think about voting for him they realise he doesn't have broad enough appeal to actually win an election. If he was in France however...

Printing money causes inflation.

Only if the amount printed exceeds the economy's capacity to meet the demand generated by more money. Where this has happened over the past 30 years is in the housing market - banks have 'printed money' in the form of mortgage lending (they don't actually lend against deposits). The result has been the rampant inflation of house prices.

Looks like no conclusion to the Muhaydin Mire trial at the Old Bailey today - adjourned until March.

Attacking people with a knife seems to show they're at least not mentally well. Although the mental illness excuse is only allowed for white people I think.

There's a risk of stigmatising people with mental illness as prone to violence, which is an inaccurate portrayal. However, if an offence was a direct result of the perpetrator's mental illness, then they get dealt with under Part 4 of the Mental Health Act. This usually involves compulsory treatment in secure psychiatric hospital, followed by very long term community supervision. It is very far from 'an excuse'.

That may be the case, but I've not seen anything suggesting he was mentally ill. (I might have missed something).

I saw more choices.

Ooh, they look pretty good. Would like to see one in the flesh

Is calling people they disagree with terrorists becoming the right wing standard now?!

Falklands oilfields, the U.K. Economy being knackered, and Thatcher's domestic unpopularity, were all factors suggesting self interest there too.

Well, the bombing has started. The BBC report from the Cyprus airbase had echoes of Hanrahan's "I counted them out... " report in the Falklands war.

I really don't get those who suggested that people against bombing wanted to do nothing, and it's a shame that the need to do something (which everyone agrees) was largely conflated with bombing. I hope the govt. are held to account on this, and actually take the necessary political and economic actions with as much gusto.

Do you think if we stopped the campaign in Iraq, they would stop trying to bomb London?

I don't recall any middle eastern terrorists bombing London before the Iraq campaign. I don't recall any Irish bombs since the talks.

Obviously the answer to your question is no. Do you think if we continue bombing Iraq and Syria they will stop?

Well let's hope there's a 'good result' out in the real world. I'm far from optimistic.

Good speech from Benn, an empassioned call to fight fascism that no one could disagree with, but completely failing to address the specific action that was proposed.

She wrote a good Huffington Post piece a couple of days ago making the same points http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/caroline-lucas/syria-air-strikes-caroline-lucas_b_8680378.html

I was mistaken. Thought that clip was 1991, but if 1998 it must have been before the Desert Fox bombing. There's been a lot of bombing over the years (and it's still a fucking mess, although the oil price has been largely protected).
