@LPC1231 This is utter rubbish. We are not sheep. You can’t pull the wool over our eyes. Have you seen this rubbish @georgegalloway
At least unlike the good Lenzo Toggz she knows how to use an apostrophe correctly.
I'm assuming incidentally that any statement from Ms Skripal is made in Russian and translated. Or can she actually speak English?
Its curious how her 'husband to be' has disappeared without trace.....one might have thought him even more concerned about her condition than her cousin.....
He is probably enjoying the hospitality of the FSB in one of their free accommodations....
Since his mother is a senior official in the FSB I assumed he was doing that already.
We may be doing him an injustice and he's frantic with worry.
However, she doesn't seem mad keen to get back to him on early indications.
I intend to cause offence where that lot are concerned.
Why? What good will it do? Who will it help? Does it show you in a flattering light?
Speaking for myself, having missed it earlier, I don't think it was appropriate and I'd advise you to avoid using it in future.
I won't call them travellers, because they ain't travellers and I think it's offensive to genuine travellers of Irish Heritage.
There are other words you could use. 'Gangsters' would seem appropriate in this particular context. Or 'cartel.' If they move about and don't have fixed addresses, 'nomads' would cover it.
The point is if they're not travellers then the word you used isn't accurate anyway, so you come out doubly badly.
I intend to cause offence where that lot are concerned.
Incidentally, I remember there was a big hoo ha over Martin Brundle using that word on the grid at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix. I actually think on that occasion he was using the word in its correct form - i.e. as an abbreviation for turnpike - used to describe road maintainers. Nevertheless, ITV apologised having received a few complaints.
I understand your reaction .I used to work for the Police and we were advised not to use that term.
All I will say is that the course for "Traveller, Roma and Gypsy Liaison Advocate" never gets any volunteers.
True , I remember the police officers well , who undertook that role.I had many dealings with the community. I will say that Henry Wharton the professional boxer , was always very polite and respectfull to me ,when we spoke.
On topic, Barnet does look interestingly finely poised at 32 Con, 30 Lab and a single LD making 63 councillors elected from 21 districts, each electing 3:
Most look fairly clearly for one or other party, but there do seem to be a lot fewer 4th party candidates (mostly Green, and a few Kippers) and I would think Lab more likely to squeeze these than the Tories. There do seem to be a lot of grievances as to how the current Tory Council has outsourced development to Capita. Local issues for local people! incidentally, I see different Cohens standing for each of the big 3 parties.
While on the one hand the Tories clung on last time, and are playing on the anti-semitism issue, I think the demographic change and squeezing the 4th parties will benefit Labour. I think the 11/2 tip on Tory control will be a well priced loser.

I don't think that demographic change is harmful to the Conservatives in Barnet.
Real look awful at the back without Sergio Ramos. Fascinating 2nd half coming up right now. Bale subbed at halftime too for a youngster - he's miles off a starting place in a top strength Real team right now.
Imagine using a fish knife to slice pizza laden with pineapple.
I thought fish knives were a teeny bit petit boorj. As it happens I have an inherited set with my initials on them, so that probably means they definitely are.

As a resident services have not improved as we were promised. I was outsourced to CapitaRe and it has not been as successful as was hoped. They were meant to bring in lots of outside work and make money for the council to spend on frontline services. It just hasn’t materialised.

They were very popular with middle-class people in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Probably explains why they're not fashionable today.

All the housing growth is in the western Labour wards and bringing in more owner occupation to these wards but it hasn’t as yet made these wards more inclined to vote Conservative.

I accept real ale is a recognised version of the nectarine beverage, but how often do you ask for fake food (except in a Mackies, obviously)?
There's something about food items always needing adjectives to sell them. Bread must be crusty, cheddar vintage, lemons Sicilian, sea-salt Mediterranean and so on. I never have known what a heritage tomato is, though. I have in mind the blackened shrivelled object lurking in the back of my fridge.

Have you tried turning them off and back on again?
Does that trick work on fixing political parties?
No way has yet been discovered of turning off Donald Trump, although he apparently turns himself on regularly.
Especially when it is Stormy. Allegedly.
I was thinking especially of when he's on Twitter, actually. If Ms Daniels is there he wouldn't need to turn himself on. As she would allegedly do it for him.

Though Lab were only 16 votes behind in 5th place. As I said, tight.
In 2014 and again this time there is a single Green and LDs not in the race, but the Greens got 536 votes in 2014. If Lab can hoover those up like last year, should scrape home.

One of the current Conservative councillors in this ward, ambitious outgoing housing chair, is not standing again. The other current Conservative councillor for Hale has shifted to a safer seat. This is one of the wards that Labour hope they can take as long as the Jewish problem does not spoil it.

I see in East Barnet, Lab gained 3 with fairly small majorities. There is only 1, not 3, Greens this time, so reckoned 3 Lab holds. Does this sound reasonable?

I see in East Barnet, Lab gained 3 with fairly small majorities. There is only 1, not 3, Greens this time, so reckoned 3 Lab holds. Does this sound reasonable?
Seems reasonable to me. The other ward to watch is Childs Hill, I think this will either revert to the Lib Dems as it was before 2014 or go entirely Labour.
Completely off topic - just spent over 3k on 2 "bells and whistles" gaming pc's only to find that the wi fi card provided is absolutely shite.
Old PC I got 45MBPS routinely - on this one below 3M.
They are coming in tomorrow to replace the cards - too bloody right!!!
What games are you looking to run?
Basically anything from strategy games to first person shoot em ups and racing games - but reinstalling them from steam is not happening tonight
Nice. Strategy games are my favourite.
As I've gotten older I've come to appreciate turn based strategy a lot more, as it is something you can play while also eating your dinner - time is more precious now, I need to be more efficient.
Yep - I do exactly that
Some great ones out there, including:
War in the East X com 2 The operational art of War 4 Order of Battle
For old school hex based gaming I can quite recommend Joni Nuutinen series, I think only Android:

Imagine using a fish knife to slice pizza laden with pineapple.
We may be doing him an injustice and he's frantic with worry.
However, she doesn't seem mad keen to get back to him on early indications.

But the candidates list on the borough website differs a bit from 2014:

Most look fairly clearly for one or other party, but there do seem to be a lot fewer 4th party candidates (mostly Green, and a few Kippers) and I would think Lab more likely to squeeze these than the Tories. There do seem to be a lot of grievances as to how the current Tory Council has outsourced development to Capita. Local issues for local people! incidentally, I see different Cohens standing for each of the big 3 parties.
While on the one hand the Tories clung on last time, and are playing on the anti-semitism issue, I think the demographic change and squeezing the 4th parties will benefit Labour. I think the 11/2 tip on Tory control will be a well priced loser.
'So you're an archaeologist, well I've got a bone you can exam'
How I he didn't get a glass of wine poured over him is a miracle. The archaeologist in question was quite left wing.
Hmmm - Israel may beg to disagree.

As it happens I have an inherited set with my initials on them, so that probably means they definitely are.
Pointless? 'The fish knife is ... just pointy enough' apparently.

Although they are allegedly good for up to 300mbps
It's bizarre - 3m download and 18M upload speeds - never seen an upload speed being higher than download
Archaeologists' careers are invariably in ruins.
Does that trick work on fixing political parties?
But yes, tried that - no difference
Used a wireless adaptor in a usb port on my son's one and he is on 60mbps with that
Juve have scored again.
Dodgy keeper.

In 2014 and again this time there is a single Green and LDs not in the race, but the Greens got 536 votes in 2014. If Lab can hoover those up like last year, should scrape home.
Its like having Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate.

Would never work. Half-way through, one of the players would leave.
