    By-Election Bingo

    Indeed you do but I am worrying the first by-election may end up being called before the start of the game. Though if legal proceedings are involved it may drag it out a bit. Is it too late to submit a team ? 30th June was the deadline the_engineer, still time. Yes please do and there are more MPs not selected than selected so plenty of possible uniques. I am itching to share all the statistics and quirks but don't want to disadvantage anyone. I will just have to wait until the end of the month. PM'ed you my team over , i'm also looking forward to seeing the stats too. Hopefully a few more teams will enter before the deadline !!

    Jimmy Savile

    There's only 20 male currently serving MPs who were a member of parliament for an English seat in the late 1980s... "She said: "I would know that face anywhere. I have lived with it and others in my head for over 20 years, I know every inch of him." Though that would narrow the search, I'm saying TMI. SC (PS article only says the politician from 'the current era' not sure we can interpret that as a sitting politician) I'm guessing PJB

    Jimmy Savile

    http://news.sky.com/story/1490575/politician-abused-me-regularly-survivor-says Wonder who the politician is? Clearly someone not widely known as a nonce like leon Brittan was. 'The politician is not from Staffordshire but is from the current political era'. Not sure if this means the Politician is a current MP or not but watch out for any resignations or retirements in the coming weeks from a current MP or lord.

    That UK Election Thing

    Well as the Justice Minister and would remove the terrorism act of 2006 as its the closest thing we have to a patriot act in UK . I think its at 28 days but you just know the tories will try and get this increased and finish off labours erosion of civil liberties . Anyone could be listed as a terrorist and detained and not only that this act can just be extended and extended and extended . How long before its one year? How long before its extended to other crimes? The foundation has already be set. I would bring back the death penalty for a select number of horrific crimes , multiple murders , premeditated murder (murder of lee rigby) / murders , prolific rapists, child murders , torture murders , child abuse (similar to ian watkins or chris denning) and driving while using a mobile phone . A life sentence would mean a life sentence. Build more prisons and increase the by the number of years for crimes like burglary (make the burglars pay back though work or benefits the amount stolen from homes,business's etc) ,rape, ABH and for attacks were injuries are sustained and will stay with a person the rest of their lives. Crime is money and to have criminals sitting in prison doesn't make money , that's why they get out in half the time so solicitors , the police , insurance companies and everyone else inbetween get their cut . Especially now private firms in the UK are taking care of the rehabilitation. Also a complete ban on internet censorship or any censorship , No super injunctions etc.

    That UK Election Thing

    Labour are done . How could they ever get a majority without Scottish seats? Amazing the amount of big names gone certainly the most memorable election of my lifetime. Ed balls might be the last big name to go!! Lib Dems also won't have any seats left in 2020 they only held on to 9 seats due to huge majorities and have dropped in some of them over 20% , their leads being less than 10% in those seats.

    I'd vote for that party.

    That Portillo Moment

    My first thought about the Tories propping up Clegg was that it didn't seem to make sense as there were a lot of Tories who really resented him and would be glad to see him suffer but if they are advocating a tactical vote then it shows how desperate the Tory party has become and now it is just about making any number add up to 326 so DC can stay in No.10. Also shows how desperate the lib dems have become and how they've turned their backs on the people that voted for them. Imagine if someone said the lib dems 5 years ago would need tactical voting by the tories to keep one of their safest seats, even Tony Blair in 1997 came nowhere close to capturing Hallam. If the lib dems retain over 10 to 15 seats and labour loses over 30 seats in Scotland then we are likely to get another lib dem /conservative coalition which is still my prediction . Its quite clear a vote for the lib dems is a vote for the tories . He is a interesting thought . Lets say the tories beat labour by around 5 to 7 seats and the lib dems / cons number of seats adds or to the same as SNP / Labour seats or even a couple of seats less. Who would win ? Do the conservatives have to give up power is labour and SNP combined have more seats ? I have a feeling if the SNP were in govt , they would do everything in their power to try and weaken the union and wouldn't be voting for the best interests of the UK. But who is the alternative 5 more years clegg and Cameron . Really is depressing stuff as these people effect all our lives.

    That Portillo Moment

    Esther Mcvey , Danny Alexander and Douglas Alexander are all gone ,probably by huge margins . The others not so sure Nick Clegg is seemingly safe thanks to the tories propping him up .

    Rolf Harris

    No thanks, though I appreciate the laugh from this: The conspiracy would be more convincing if: 1 - The blogger managed to explain how someone - like him - who knows so much is still allowed to live. 2 - He researched his facts well enough to realise Joe Meek might have been a predatory homosexual but wasn't a BBC DJ and - in any case - died before Radio 1 even started. It'd be more convincing too if he'd backed some of his 'facts' with evidence. It's hard to tell whether this is a spoof conspiracy theories site, or whether this guy really does believe everything he reads.

    President al-Assad of Syria

    Assad's army is collapsing he is running out of troops and the Alawite tribe are heading for steep decline if not extinction . 1/3 of all young alawite men dead in the war and mothers are refusing to send more the only problem is the war is about to find them. Al nusra are driving into majority Alawite territory , ISIS will soon follow . Btw AL Nusra are considered moderate but are in the process of massacring 100 soldiers and their families (probably all alawite) they captured and attacking a alawite village killing another 200 . Read the financial times link and read the second to last paragraph to get feel for the rebels as they enter these majority Alawite area's. Huge massacres are coming to those places and they have nowhere to flee unless its into the sea. Just hope the Alawites take many ISIS and al nusra with them . I think if Assad stays in Syria he will be dead by end of next year however I think he and his family will flee to russia ,possibly Iran . Including a few of Assad's close aides or family members might be a good pick for 2016. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/055c5916-eb71-11e4-9058-00144feab7de.html http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2015/04/28/Islamist-rebels-capture-more-than-100-Syrian-troops-in-Jisr-al-Shughour/9821430258733/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/11518232/In-Syrias-war-Alawites-pay-heavy-price-for-loyalty-to-Bashar-al-Assad.html
