The BBC has run a story claiming UK spring temperatures are up 1.8?C. It's alarmist agitprop straight from a Green Blob press release and it doesn't check out when you look at the facts, says Chris Morrison.

The Javaad Alipoor Company is a theatre company with a woke "nine-point manifesto that drives everything we do". Inevitably, the Arts Council is stuffing it with taxpayers' cash. Why do we fund this crap?

Most unusual byelection in the world

category international | politics / elections | news report author Sunday August 31, 2003 01:29author by election Report this post to the editors

Lord Milner of Leeds AE, one of the two Labour hereditary peers elected
in November 1999 to continue in the House of Lords, has died.

This will mean a byelection. However the Act states that the electorate for such a byelection are the other elected hereditary peers in the same party. As Labour has only two peers, this means an electorate of one (Lord Rea). He can choose from the following candidates:

Lord Grantchester
Lord Kennet
Lord Monkswell
Viscount Samuel

Sure Pat you have no problem with the feudal house of lords. You don't care how those English rule 'themselves'.

I'm sure if their was an Irish house of lords you'd have no problem with it either. 'As long as it has not foreign influence and is dominated by the native capitalist and landlord class'.

For once a good riposte from my feline friend. Could I play the Owl to your Pussycat? Let us elope together! We could be maried by the Turkey who lives on the hill (Peter Hadden).
