If this actually happened at Westminster at the same frequency, nothing will get done.

Taiwan should look into getting a big mace.

Jeremy Corbine

That's how I pronounce it. Similar to Anton Corbijn.

Jeremy Corbyn Demands Theresa May Put An End To Medical Tests For Trans People

...So basically overhaul the GRA to take some of the hoops out of getting transition legally recognised, from the looks of things. And stuff that will never be allowed to happen so long as the government is being propped up by Christian fundamentalists.

Corbyn: "We should be offering an apology to every gay person who was ever persecuted."

cool! looking forward to reform of all the bullshit laws that still disproportionate affect gay people and other minorities! any day now!

if you don't have enough evidence to charge him and he doesn't want his name plastered over the media then maybe you shouldn't name him? why are they so fucking desperate to name someone that wasn't charged? fuck off.

New Ten doesn't look that great honestly. Jane Austen on the front is a bit boring.

The real question which nobody bothered to ask during the election is actually how Britain is going to pay for austerity.

The Conservative austerity policies are basically laying the path for Britain to become a debtor country. Large-scale tax cuts, hardly offset by meagre public sector cuts, have skyrocketed our national debt (which is nearly double what it was before Labour lost the election) and none of the wealth has trickled down. Investment is down, productivity is down and wages are down. The only thing that has gone up is the divident payout ratio which is the opposite of what they told us would happen. Our government's fiscal policy is to borrow tons of money and use it to finance corporate income at the expense of the natioanl economy.

Taking on debt isn't necessarily bad - almost all companies in the private sector take on debt in order to expand. Taking on debt in order to then hand it to corporate interests and watch as it flows in one great movement out of the country is not a good idea. It's also totally unaffordable and will end up bankrupting us. At the very least Labour's policy makes more sense because it's borrowing to invest rather than borrowing to spend.

wtf is this insane, retarded bullshit
do they intend to run the country on perpetually increasing loans until the gov can only pay itself and interest on the debts?

Maybe. The Conservative Party is so intensely corrupt that everything it does deserves severe scepticism.

Sir Vince Cable will become leader of the Liberal Democrats later if no more nominations are confirmed at 1600 GMT. He is the person who believes we can U-turn on Brexit, which would be nice.

It's nothing compared to the radical designs of the Dutch Guilder.

Sadly, Oxenaar died at the age of 87 on 13 June.

Having both Coalition Cable and the Bliar on your side must inspire confidence.

I am thinking that (1) hate crime is increasing, (2) more victims of crime in general are coming forward, and (3) police have been expanding on how they record certain offences, which recently included modern slavery.

Absolutely not - tis a silly place! But I'd have thought the invertebrates wouldn't want to keep "going there" either after their anti-Brexit stance produced such a limp electoral "fightback".

Our designs were so edgy, we could not make head or tails out of them.

And Drupsteen, who turned Dutch banknotes into pop art or something. The Bank of England is nowhere near that, not even close to the new Swiss notes, where the main portrait is of a hand.

Your first mistake was reading the comments.

Well, we've passed the 4PM deadline. So unless anyone had a sudden last second rush it looks like Vince is Lib Dem leader by default.

First? You're not counting creating an NS nation and logging onto the forums as a severe lapse of judgement?
