bridge too far

I'm proud that he said that - in line with the views of the United Nations http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35396027

This bit was an eye-opener (from wikipedia) "Concerned at the expense of maintaining the Falkland Islands in an era of budget cuts, the UK again considered transferring sovereignty to Argentina in the early Thatcher government."

Isn't the history of the Falklands interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_Islands

The mainland is great too. Especially around the Parga / Mani areas

r a Or a change from a Labour to Conservative government?

And I think the Japanese do it too.

Oh it's an act of charity from me. I'm sure you all stand round in virtual self-congratulatory circles having mutual w*nkathons about Jezza.

An alternative viewpoint - in the interest of balance you understand http://anotherangryvoice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/self-appointed-moderates-delusional.html

And they're 1 up!!!!!!

And Paul Tisdale!

Similar viewing from us Charlie. Absolutely loved Sherlock. Might have to watch it again as, although we picked up on many subtle references and jokes, I'm sure we missed a load too. And the Agatha Christie was mesmerising. Charles Dance was phenomenal I thought. Struggling a bit with Dickensian but slowly getting into it. I happened upon a channel called London Live and currently they're broadcasting a load of Ealing Studios movies. Not necessarily comedies. Nothing pleases me more than watching old black and white movies and then going on to the IMDB page to see the cast lists. Didn't ever watch Downton so didn't miss anything there. In fact last night's offerings were so abysmal that we ended up listening to BB6 for a couple of hours of soul music

They got fewer votes because there was a reduced turnover. However they achieved a larger percentage of the overall vote and there was a swing to Labour.

If there were to be an election tomorrow, Labour would do better than it did earlier this year (as the article indicates). There's plenty of time for the government to tear itself apart over Europe and the third runway. There's plenty of time for the economy to fall flat on its face. There's plenty of time for Labour to slowly slowly pick up steam.

It was a rhetorical question dearie - both or either could also have been as a result of mental illness. But hey, a 'terrorist' attack suits the agenda of the powers that be.

And you know this how? A man was stabbed to death in Oxfordshire today. Was that 'domestic Islamic terrorism' too?
