I think Nadine has a point, the rather overused format of panel shows does seem hard on women. It suits more the testosterone charged banter of male comedians. Very few comedians can cope with Hislop or Merton either.
Though he plays the fool in HIGNFY, Paul Merton is actually one of the quickest and most intelligent wits about though, I didn't realise just how fast he was till I fancied a change from R5L and listened to "Just a Minute" on the way home the last few months. As you say (And I think for him in particular) there aren't many comedians of either sex that can keep up.
I think Victoria Coren is one of the better ones (of either sex) at keeping up Hislop and Merton, of the episodes I've seen in the last few years. Jo Brand is usually good too.
That new quiz she does is fiendishly difficult.
I applied to go on that. Our team (codesmiths) were rejected, probably for getting too many answers right while providing too little entertainment. To say the auditions were low-tech is an understatement: we had to 'buzz' in using an unloaded stapler.

Unlike most panel shows, HIGNFY is pretty tightly scripted from the presenter’s point of view, although good ad-lib skills are clearly also required. It’s one of those things that lots of people think they’ll be good at, but very few are.
The standard comedy panel show is so popular because it’s really cheap to make - a studio, a set and half a dozen performers who only cost a few hundred quid a day. Most of them need minimum prep and work on the basis that you record much more material than you need then edit it all down later. The outtakes reel from Mock the Week is one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched, they had to record a lot more than they ever needed because most of the jokes were unbroadcastable!

Once upon a time watching at home I was very please to get the "what links these four things?" after one option, "Combined English Universities"...
Cricket teams?
Next clue then, Westminster...
No - Combined English Universities was a constituency from 1918-50 (I think). It's obviously political but I can't get a specific link from that to Westminster. i don't know if anyone famous represented CEU (and am not checking because that'd be cheating).

I'm afraid the actions of MI5 and the Blair Gov't over Iraq mean that statements we ought to be able to take as the perfect truth from the Gov't in matters of war and peace we may not be ble to do so. This was the real pernicious, vicious effect of the last Labour Gov't. No wonder the membership wanted to be as far rid as possible with Corbyn, who is obviously miles from Blair politically.

If this stuff is a pure uncontaminated chemical (or if the only contaminants in the samples they have, are contaminants that they could have picked up in Salisbury) there is no way for Porton Down to know where it came from. Russian sodium chloride is no different from the French or Chinese or US versions. You could actually identify US table salt from the others because they tend to iodate it on public health grounds, but I doubt the Russians do that with novichok.

You've never heard of false flag operations? Look up the Zinoviev letter, the Tories and their allies have form for using bullshit about Russia to harm Labour
So what makes Mrs May say the Russians were behind it but Porton Down doesn't back her.
You are not doing justice to the statement from Porton Down. They clearly identified the military nerve agent as only able to be produced by a nation state and that to identify the source the government use other sources not available to them.
The privy council will be in possession of this information and TM will have acted on it.
Indeed. Portion Down are the scientists, how would they know *where* something comes from? All they’ve said today is what the chemical is, which is what’s expected from them. Other intelligence agencies will know more about where the agent could have been produced.
FYI - When in the next few years I'm running to be Prime Minister, the comments by me on this thread were a joke. I'm just trying to reel them in understand the mindset of the Corbynites.
It is important to know how the mind of the Corbynites work, when they work.
Only the Messiah would deny that he is the Messiah...

You should take a leaf out of HYUFD's book - in his/her mind he/she is the Conservative Hazel Blears of interviews.
I thought that was Alistair Campbell over the objections of the SIS.
That's my point, if the SIS were a top organisation they'd have rebutted Campbell and Blair.
So how do we know they are resisting Mrs May's spin?
The point being that they didn't endorse it. It was part of a briefing note by Campbell to journalists that later got reused as part of the government's case for war (which on its own shows how shaky a case it was).
So the SIS didn't 'lie' about somebody's PhD thesis as you claim. In fact they were the ones to disown it and Campbell had to officially deny apologising to them.
(I misread 'rebutted' as 'recruited,' which struck me as odd.)

I've had him down as the Tory Comical Ali.
There was a The Reunion about Basra, just recently. With several British Army commanders. V interesting to hear them explain the situation as it unfolded. Chemical Ali of course featured, but much more interesting was how they explained away the overall "result" there.

But they didn't rebut it, they were complicit in it. Had they informed the country about it then the march to war would have come to a shuddering halt.
As Ranger One put it, 'Half a truth is worse than a lie'
If...IF this turned out to be wrong info from the government albeit because our intelligence services -oxymoron alert- got it wrong again I would guess May would have to resign pronto!
Corbyn was right on the IRA and invading Iraq, now he'll be proven right about the poisoning.
He's going to win a landslide in 2022.

So what makes Mrs May say the Russians were behind it but Porton Down doesn't back her.
If this stuff is a pure uncontaminated chemical (or if the only contaminants in the samples they have, are contaminants that they could have picked up in Salisbury) there is no way for Porton Down to know where it came from. Russian sodium chloride is no different from the French or Chinese or US versions. You could actually identify US table salt from the others because they tend to iodate it on public health grounds, but I doubt the Russians do that with novichok.
Quite. It’s not like a radioisotope where you could make an educated guess where it came from. There is very little/nothing to tell you where a chemical was made - other than the likely capabilities of the manufacturer.

According to some cult members I saw on the Facebook, they couldn't do that, because this nerve agent was only ever produced in Russia and so it would be impossible for UK scientists to identify it...unless...unless....we had also secretly produced it and then who knows tried to kill the ex Russian spy...
Once upon a time watching at home I was very please to get the "what links these four things?" after one option, "Combined English Universities"...
Cricket teams?
Next clue then, Westminster...
No - Combined English Universities was a constituency from 1918-50 (I think). It's obviously political but I can't get a specific link from that to Westminster. i don't know if anyone famous represented CEU (and am not checking because that'd be cheating).
If I told you Westminster was a constituency until 1918 you'll see you've actually got the answer at hand...
the other clues were Calais and Bermondsey - which is not really decreasing order of ease, to my mind.

A creditable effort, but you ought to refer to Zionists as Zios, or Zionazis.
LOL, I see the Tories are caught out lying again, Boris the Buffoon categorically stated that Porton Down had proved the Novichok was from Russia and now we finds they have no clue at all. How long can these lying toerags remain in place.

I don't get this story. The headline is "Porton Down scientists 'have not verified the precise source' of nerve agent used in Salisbury spy attack", yet in the article it states:
"However, he said that “it is not our job” to determine precisely where the nerve agent, identified as belonging to the novichok family, was manufactured but he explained the work done at Porton Down formed part of the Government's wider intelligence picture. "

That is Boris for you, and why he shouldn't be Foreign Secretary. It was almost as bad an idea as putting Chris Williamson on BBC News were he is making a total arse of himself and constantly contradicting himself and lying about his enemies.
What Porton Down said at the time that it was a military grade nerve agent, likely Novichok. They identified four countries that could produce it - us, at Porton Down itself, France, the US and Russia. They presumably(!) knew they hadn't done it. It seems a little unlikely France or the US did. That leaves Russia.
We all know Russia did it simply because not only does nobody else have means and motive, but they haven't bothered to deny it, seeking only to muddy pools and confuse matters. Indeed, one figure on Russian TV more or less admitted their guilt and positively gloried in it. But for some people the evidence will never be enough, just as the evidence against Richard III over the murder of his nephews or Hitler's guilt in the Holocaust is never quite proved for their apologists.

There's the current Kipper Jonathan Aitken who committed perjury.
I think Nadine has a point, the rather overused format of panel shows does seem hard on women. It suits more the testosterone charged banter of male comedians. Very few comedians can cope with Hislop or Merton either.
Though he plays the fool in HIGNFY, Paul Merton is actually one of the quickest and most intelligent wits about though, I didn't realise just how fast he was till I fancied a change from R5L and listened to "Just a Minute" on the way home the last few months. As you say (And I think for him in particular) there aren't many comedians of either sex that can keep up.
I think Victoria Coren is one of the better ones (of either sex) at keeping up Hislop and Merton, of the episodes I've seen in the last few years. Jo Brand is usually good too.
That new quiz she does is fiendishly difficult.
I applied to go on that. Our team (codesmiths) were rejected, probably for getting too many answers right while providing too little entertainment. To say the auditions were low-tech is an understatement: we had to 'buzz' in using an unloaded stapler.
One question I remember: what is fourth in this sequence: 3125; ?
4?
5^5, 4^4, 3^3, 2^2
EDIT - I see @JonnyJimmy has already got there. My best man is one of the Question Editors on the show.

I’m not sure that BA had much choice in that one, the only people on the plane who didn’t want to go to Kuwait were their own crew. And they lost the 747.
It is only countered by the vile language and singing on the audio in the video which has not been played on the media
So from 4 hours of footage all they can come up with a swear word and some booing of this group's political opponents in the Jewish community. Pretty thin stuff.

It's all coming together.
The standard comedy panel show is so popular because it’s really cheap to make - a studio, a set and half a dozen performers who only cost a few hundred quid a day. Most of them need minimum prep and work on the basis that you record much more material than you need then edit it all down later. The outtakes reel from Mock the Week is one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched, they had to record a lot more than they ever needed because most of the jokes were unbroadcastable!
So what makes Mrs May say the Russians were behind it but Porton Down doesn't back her.
The privy council will be in possession of this information and TM will have acted on it.
Remember when they pulled someone's thesis off the interweb and said it was actionable intelligence.
I didn't edit - actually it was 1.416667 but that is hardly likely to be right!
The first one was simple subtracting six each time (starting from 31). The second is saying three numbers: 3, 12, 5 - and saying 2nd number = (first number) x (third number) - (first number).
Yes, a very honourable organisation with the highest standards.
The war criminal Tony Blair is still a member of the Privy Council.
It is important to know how the mind of the Corbynites work, when they work.
This was the real pernicious, vicious effect of the last Labour Gov't. No wonder the membership wanted to be as far rid as possible with Corbyn, who is obviously miles from Blair politically.
So how do we know they are resisting Mrs May's spin?
So the SIS didn't 'lie' about somebody's PhD thesis as you claim. In fact they were the ones to disown it and Campbell had to officially deny apologising to them.
(I misread 'rebutted' as 'recruited,' which struck me as odd.)
As Ranger One put it, 'Half a truth is worse than a lie'
the other clues were Calais and Bermondsey - which is not really decreasing order of ease, to my mind.

Is he a Tory too?

I don't get this story. The headline is "Porton Down scientists 'have not verified the precise source' of nerve agent used in Salisbury spy attack", yet in the article it states:
"However, he said that “it is not our job” to determine precisely where the nerve agent, identified as belonging to the novichok family, was manufactured but he explained the work done at Porton Down formed part of the Government's wider intelligence picture. "
So what's the story?

If you have the quote where Boris said Porton Down has categorically stated that Porton Down have identified it as from Russia please provide the link
What Porton Down said at the time that it was a military grade nerve agent, likely Novichok. They identified four countries that could produce it - us, at Porton Down itself, France, the US and Russia. They presumably(!) knew they hadn't done it. It seems a little unlikely France or the US did. That leaves Russia.
We all know Russia did it simply because not only does nobody else have means and motive, but they haven't bothered to deny it, seeking only to muddy pools and confuse matters. Indeed, one figure on Russian TV more or less admitted their guilt and positively gloried in it. But for some people the evidence will never be enough, just as the evidence against Richard III over the murder of his nephews or Hitler's guilt in the Holocaust is never quite proved for their apologists.
They have form.
Your comments were more supportive of Corbyn than most Labour backbenchers are, let alone Tories

Maybe Profumo or Stonehouse?

EDIT - I see @JonnyJimmy has already got there. My best man is one of the Question Editors on the show.
Edit - and so was Aitken in 1997:

But top marks for trolling anyway.
Looking at 2017, the homicide rate per 100,000 population stood at 1.2 in London and 3.4 in New York.

So glad I'm laying him as next PM/Tory leader

Porton Down said very clearly that “other inputs” available only to the government were required to connect it to Russia.
The government shouldn’t be making intelligence public
Homicides in London in Q1 are already half way to the 2017 total, while in NYC they’re falling.
One more murder in London last night, a 17 year old girl shot who was a youth worker. Two attempted murders as well, another shooting and a stabbing.
As per the article
In January, for example, the Met investigated eight murders in London. The NYPD looked into 18 killings.
And that means that while Scotland Yard has opened 47 homicide inquiries so far this year, New York has in fact opened 50 murder files.
Given their boy has a serious chance of becoming PM at the next election that scares me a lot.
We could have two de facto Russian popinjays in the White House and No 10 by 2022.
