Wise words from The Kid.

Think it's about time I had a look at the entries for this year. I'll report back with my thoughts in a few days.

Also what interests me is that Labour and the Tories have done nothing beside banging on about the SNP doing the day job. I'd have thought what the country wants is for a majority Government at Westminster to get on with the job of Brexit. May said today she'd be spending all her time travelling the country seeking votes. She should be in Brussels getting on with getting us out, per the people's mandate. More months wasted, more negotiating time wasted, clueless idiot.

We'll get some sort of temperature during the local elections on May 4th. Where Labour have done ok in the past, they have gone into coalition in the main with the Tories. Which says enough about the Unionist parties. Should Labour lose Glasgow (and it all points that way), they are done. Ruthy Davidson is getting stick up here for supporting the so-called "rape clause" brought in by the Westminster Government, where a woman has to prove that a third child was born from rape in order to get child benefits for them. You are right about Sturgeon though..she doesn't want this indyref2 now, faced with a hard Brexit she's got no choice per her manifesto. If there's a different option (i.e. May loses or there's a hung Parliament) things may change. Don't forget, whatever happens the Tories will still try for a special deal for London and the rest of the country can go fuck itself.

Ruth Davidson vs Kim Jong Un

Was thinking I'd open a 2017 thread in mid-May, just gauging interest atm...

Anyone interested in running this again for 2017?

She does... Or more recently she looks like a blow up doll that's gone to seed. And she's really not good at debating, no wonder she won't appear in a tv debate.

Be interesting to see what the Tories promised in 2015 that May wants to renege on. Remember NI contributions? While this is supposedly all about Brexit, it's actually about what she might do that she can't because of the promises that Cameron made that she won't keep. To say she needs one after saying she didn't because opposing parties oppose the Government is the most astonishing shite I have heard from a statesperson since Tony Blair announced there were WMD in Iraq. So I think there should be a careful analysis of how the Tories will shaft you and your pocket and fuck the personalities of the leaders..,,

Well, it's a bit premature as I haven't seen a QO yet for Perham...

Hmm, where's the poll that says the British people want a General Election? Surely there is no appetite for it. Oh, it's ok for Scotland not to have votes on what their Parliament wants, but ok for the Government to breach their own UK Act they only passed a few years ago. (Don't get me wrong, May looks more incompetent and out of her depth every day. I don't think she'll get the majority she wants.)

Looks like Clifton James won this one. Edit: Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-4414806/Clifton-James-sheriff-James-Bond-films-dies-96.html

It's the old old story of the day with several teams hitting hard with Emma Morano. Joey Russ' second hit in as many days puts him top of the leaderboard again for now... Meantime drol is the only scorer with Clifton James and cops a bunch of points for him. Full leaderboard at the end of the week....so keep hitting folks...

She wasn't my joker, but I'm sure I had her. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39610937
