Gay Byrne is a hit for me here, and here alone. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50289744

Let's face it, the sheeple are being led into a Brexit election - it's all about Brexit, nothing matters but Brexit, and yet those I have spoken to simply aren't voting because they have lost faith. But when you distil everything down, Brexit doesn't really matter anymore. To some extent Farage is correct - Brexit should be about the trade deal we can do while exiting the political institutions. He is of course wrong on everything else. A Tory Brexit is all about replacing freedom of movement for EU nationals with freedom of movement for the Indian sub-continent, Asia and anywhere else where labour is cheaper. It's inherently a racist policy, allowing a form of economic Imperialism. The main focus should be on climate change, training and job creation, career stability, better infrastructure, more beat cops, a secure NHS free from foreign influence, yada yada yada. At the end of the day there are three types of voter - those "who have always voted X" and will never ever change, those who vote on local issues (how does the policy affect my area? - see HS2) and those who are now voting on pressure causes, like climate change, fracking and the like. Brexit will be the only thing some voters will vote on or indeed fail to vote on, but the outcome one way or another will be hailed as a determinative factor on it - and it simply will not. Had a look at my constituency last time and it looks like the swing from SNP to Conservative just cost the SNP the seat which went to Labour. No Ruth Davidson and the toxic Bawjaws may again lead to Tory swing voters swinging back to SNP to keep Labour out. Yesterday it was pointed out that two-thirds of the UK marginals are in Scotland - and yet none of the major Unionist parties seem to have realised this - or they simply do not care - because their message is that Scotland's Brexit vote never mattered anyway. But it might end up that there's a ton more marginals across the UK after this election - and possibly as a result a ton more petitions for recall in due course.

Anyone think Keith Vaz will actually run for re-election?

Report of the death of Tom Hodgkins who played the role of Barker in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them:

Anyone else feel old? Adam is 65 today!

Actually, with a little push, I've got my main team for 2020. Praying for all uniques, including subs! And not a FFBI among them!

Donate to nearest homeless shelter or summat. Good enough for me.

Made a conscious decision that for my main team for 2020, I'm going for interesting uniques. The famous and sick haven't won this for me yet. I'm up to seventeen names. Hmmm. I'd say I have about 5 weeks to find three more....

Never watched The Sopranos but apparently Brian Tarantina is dead at 60: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/brian-tarantina-dead-sopranos-star-20798004

Anyone need a Rudy Boesch QO? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7642833/Survivor-star-Rudy-Boesch-dies-Alzheimers-Disease-aged-91.html I claim my 5 pounds of coffee @Sir Creep

Sooo Holly Clegg is dead. https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/article_f83da270-945f-11e9-ad15-37d19de8a021.html Now I'm likely out for a lot of tomorrow, so I'll check if there's a QO when I get back. So don't think I'm ignoring the pick.

Blackford has been the most effective at holding the Government to account. Would be a shame if he goes....but then Angus Robertson did last time.

Also needs to be a QO, so here you go: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-50254785

Surely Jared's not standing? Mind you, he's barely vertical most times, ha! Can't believe Skinner is having another go.

UKIP has lost its leader. So we always have the leaders, that's Bawjaws, Jezza, Blackers, The Swindler and Cazza. Can't see any of the DUP going cold, but you never know. Stick a Farage in for good measure, add a sprinkling of Soubry and Gapes, a dash of Chuka and the bitter acrid stench of Esther McVey. Shame old Amber Rudd isn't standing, she squeaked her seat and still got ministerial office. Anyhow, I'm sure you got names out there so chuck them in the cauldron and we'll see what bubbles up on the 12th December. Let the Simon Danczuk memorial game begin.

Ronnie Campbell asked the penultimate question at PMQs today. Standing down to spend more time in the charity shops he gets his clothes from I assume.
