Toast 16,155 Posted April 10, 2014 Good question. I guess I was posting it because he won't be considered a suicide risk now or something like that. He did say he's been through eleven moths of hell. I thought posting stuff related to sexual assault trials was standard business now in DL here in the post-Savile era. It is after all very nasty business. Eleven Moths Of Hell. Great title for a horror film. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,589 Posted April 17, 2014 Outspoken labour MP Austin Mitchell will stand down at the next election. Might be one to keep an eye on a couple of years down the line. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted April 17, 2014 Outspoken labour MP Austin Mitchell will stand down at the next election. Might be one to keep an eye on a couple of years down the line. He's 80 in September, which initially surprised me but thinking about his Calendar presenting days (he presented the famous TV showdown between Revie & Clough when he was 39 in 1974) that would make sense. No doubt his seat will taken by the child of some New Labour arsehole... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted April 18, 2014 David Cameron has been stung by a jellyfish during his holiday in Lanzarote http://www.independe...ay-9269324.html Before you get too concerned don't worry as far as I know the jellyfish is ok. Personally I'm a b it surprised that Cameron had trouble with a spineless lump of jelly that floats about aimlessly after 4 years dealing with the liberal democrats !
