It's baffling isn't it, how anything can possibly exist?
Whether you are taking a religious or pure science view of it, the idea of a 'beginning' and the limits of space-time are beyond comprehension. |

It's now clear there is no deal that Labour will support, their only goal is now to spoil the Boris parade regardless.
If no DUP support, the big question is can they get enough ex-Tory, ERG, and Labour rebel votes to scrape this through. |

I just think we need to row back a little from the current cancel/firing culture. I have to stick by that principle even if it means defending a ballsack like PM. |

Perception matters. If faith is undermined in our democratic process, apathy grows and the legitimacy of elections is called into question.
I happen to believe there is a bigger problem than is being acknowledged. Lack of evidence doesn't mean there isn't, and with a more robust system we will at least know for sure. |

My thoughts, some of which have already been made elsewhere:
1) We can't say this is only a tiny problem when we simply have no way of knowing. There is certainly a perceived problem which is just as important to address.
2) Postal votes are a bigger concern than verifying identity at the polling station.
3) Unfair to accuse tories of rigging when one of the groups potentially disenfranchised - the elderly - are more likely to vote conservative.
4) If an inexpensive or even free ID option is made available then we have no problem. If passport / drivers licence is the only way to vote, then yes criticism is fair. |

Which is exactly how parliamentary alliances and coalitions work. |

Nobody handed a billion quid to the DUP. But I'm sure you knew that. |

I lived in the Eaton area of Norwich between the ages of 10-12.
Which was nowhere near being rough. Quite happy times actually.
Just think, if we'd stayed, I'd probably be a Nodge fan now. (I didn't take much interest in footie until much later). [Post edited 10 Oct 14:35]

It's either going to be a 'no deal' or simply no Brexit, because there's never going to be a deal that satisfies all parties. |
