(13 Jul 2016, 7:48 pm)Andreos1 After Thatcher-ism and everything else since, will May-hem be the term that sums up the period of politics we are about to enter?
Her cabinet will be made up of the following:
Leavers
Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary
David Davis - Brexit Secretary
Liam Fox - International Trade Secretary
Remainers
Philip Hammond - Chancellor
Amber Rudd - Home secretary
Michael Fallon - Defence Secretary
It will be interesting to see how the lawsuit with Davis VS Home Office is going to.pan out now!

Nope. Tom Watson did block me though, as I kept referring to him as a hatchet man.
In other news - Labour leadership ballot papers have started being issued yesterday. I received my electronic paper yesterday, and my vote has gone in for Corbyn.

Over the moon. Goshn has used various threats since Renault and Nissan started working together.
Glad to see common sense prevail and the most productive plant in Europe continue to be given a chance.

I'm not.
You'd think they had something to hide?
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - Jamie M - 31 Oct 2016
(31 Oct 2016, 6:34 pm)Adrian I'm not.I do not believe there is any wrongdoing. I've never have gotten to grips with the actual reasoning, but the protest was an act of enterprise level crime. They were simply depriving the business of, well, business. There are effective ways of protesting, but going about it in an obnoxious way is going to make you look like an obnoxious moron. The police were doing nothing but ensuring the protesting was not being in any scope illegal or otherwise threatening the health of a business, to which had yet to be proven as wrongful. Not deaths were there to be covered up, and it's not disputed that there are any wrongful arrests made. Perhaps the police shouldn't to have resorted to violence, if they even did. And inquiry cannot bring alive what occured 32 years ago, simply because nothing to which people wish to know is documented. It feels like the only reason this took off is because of people who feel they were treated in the wrong manner by the police have seen a glimmer of chance of sucess due to the uncovering of the tragic and catastrophic failure of the police at h'bro football. These people are chancing at the same sucess, but I very much doubt there is much that an inquest could shed light on.

I wasn't alive at the time and do not fully know the background, but this is my response from the little I do know.
