It is largely around funding. Independents do not have access to party funds (they may be funded by another means). Usually they are single issue parties or former party members who have lost the nomination but still want to stand. Many of them are on the hard left or the hard right. Probably easier to vote for at council level rather than national level

I vaguely remember reading that he and Morrissey were on the same team on Pop Quiz and Blackburn's constant inane chatter totally put Morrissey off.

Before Lonnie takes his leave we do need to have a knees up to this

I am getting Brian Mathew vibes about this. If he is back on the radio by the summer then I think we should forget him for a couple of years but if he has not returned to broadcast then I think he would be an interesting contender Allegedly the DJ referred to in Panic......

You could just copy mine and then update for your scores which are simpler...
