"not a word from the unholy trinity of right-wingers here criticising Ukip's scumbag racism. Oops, sorry, I forgot: you're all in their camp, of course. Silly me! 😂😂😂"

"In-their-camp" since when Steve?? You and your pals Jom & Raggy keep telling me I'm Tory through and through - do make your minds up.

Chakrabarti on being asked a perfectly simple question could easily have answered "No" without violating confidentiality, however she did not - perhaps as a lawyer she realised the position that that might have put her in if later facts came out to reveal that it turned out to be untrue.

Amazing what you learn reading the threads on this Forum. For example, did Putin really rise - "stealthily through the ranks of a party riven by rivalries and alcohol-fuelled rows" - So a career path very similar to that of Boris Yeltsin then.

The contenders for leadership of UKIP are:
Diane James: a former wrestler: an MEP who wrote a book celebrating golliwogs: and a councillor seeking a ban on Muslim schools.

They sound a varied selection of individuals. As an avowed atheist I would have thought that you would be opposed to Faith based education of any description.

I see that Birrell got this bit right:

"Now his forces focus on fresh ambitions – to become a permanent political fixture by exploiting the disruption of consensus, disenchantment with Westminster and disintegration of Labour."

Isn't Corbyn doing a great job.
