he has a very good chest of hair. i do remember mind when he was going through a inexplicably rough patch w the Utd faithful about four years ago and i recall the immortal line in some City 'zine Giggs in tights, a disgrace to my old school Moorside, no wonder rags boo him

commiserations to jenks. :( though, do bear in mind the tuck wagon at Stevenage is worth its own visit. they do magnificent things w eggs on the burgers. (plus i once saw Paul Merson deep in conversation w P Taylor at their bar.) speaking parochially, still trying to recover from a season in...

Can sharia law be reconciled with international human rights law? Terry Glavin on Mohammed Ishaq Faizi

i like the sound of Rushanara Ali who is running for Labour in BG & B. i wonder do you know much about her Ollie? she was a Parliamentary Asst to King, so says Wiki, but a bit ago: '97-99.

though i should add the former Iron Curtain has probably the best hard liquors, that Serbian plum brandy for a start.

of course the range of independent trades unions, diverse religious organisations, range of faith schools from different monotheisms backed by the govt (w no one religion officially backed in this sense *), range of opinions able to be expressed in a range of free media, and the ability to wield...

i mentioned this up thread but agreed here M B and w specific regard to things like Charles Clarke bringing in certain laws on demos near Parliament. whatever you thought of something like that, it must be said that Labour's PR on the matter was very bad and the Tories and L-Ds capitalised on...

actually both in my experience, although the social conservatism naturally shouts louder, and whilst they sometimes also indulge in anti-banker populism at the end of the day their proposals are also always fiscally conservative (more confused than Donald Duck, they are). granted the L-Ds are...

Cameron did have one good line tbf, something about unfortunately if you mix red and yellow as even my daughter will tell you, you get Brown. that appears to be the line of attack they have settled on, fingers crossed it lets them down...

i have been thinking how stupid some of the frothier Tory press are in attacking the Lib-Dems (obviously they must fear them), but Clegg's Orange Book economic liberalism has to be far more palatable to them than a wounded Labour w a lot of angry Old Labour backbenchers seeking more influence in...
