 Former Czech Spy, Jeremy Corbyn, made his most dastardly move yet when it emerged that, he had infact, not been a Czech spy, informant or otherwise, covering his tracks through a noticable lack of evidence, and being in another part of the country at the same time when it was claimed most of these meetings were going on. Despite the media's valiant efforts to warn us of the Red Menace, the only source of this information is former Czech agent, Jan Sarkocy, who reliably claimed to have personally organised Live Aid as part of a Czechoslovakian government plot, and is clearly not a delusional person, who can be utterly trusted in with everything that he says as fact.  Social Media The Tories finally cracked social media, with the most retweeted tweet ever tweeted from an Conservative account: Ben Bradley, Youth Minister - famous for, among other things; calling for forced vasectomies for the unemployed, and wanting to blast rioters with water cannons ("splat the chav") - managed to achieve this notable goal by libeling Jeremy Corbyn:  One quick phone call to some solicitors later: https://twitter.com/bbradleymp/status/967526680188375040 Yep.  To not face legal action, Bradley had to delete the tweet, issue a full apology (with specific wording that it be retweeted), and agreed to make a substantial donation to a charity of Corbyn's choice and pay his legal costs. The donation would be split between a homeless charity and a foodbank in Bradley’s constituency of Mansfield. At last, a Tory MP is finally contributing something worthwhile to their community. In other social media news, after the spectacular failure of ACTIVATE, and knowing that the Tories are simply unable to compete with Momentum and "da yoof" on twitter and have no organic social media presence, Tory chairman, Brandon Lewis, has decided the easiest way to counter this is to throw money at people to spread good things about the Tories. (Note: the full article is paywalled - but the first paragraph is enough) No way that looks desperate at all, and is surely the way to encourage the youth voters- hey wait where are the youths going?

But the forecast does say that it's going to get heavier around lunchtime, and it's already proper settling in northern Hampshire. This is going to be hilarious

If he was an elected MP and UKIP had an honest to goodness parliamentary presence then I could understand booking him. But 32 times! For a party that, ok, took a massive vote share one time but wasn't able to convert that to seats, have achieved their aims in loving us off out of Europe so are now essentially redundant I just don't get it. I remember being roasted in a previous UKMT for defending the BBC about something or other, but I've done a full 180 now. Burn the Beeb to the loving ground and start again

Wind update: Despite being sheltered on three sides and wheelclamped, my trailer moved a foot up the drive at the side of the house last night, leaving tracks in the snow. Can confirm wind still has teeth. Edit: FUUUUUUU

Rarity posted:There's a few patches of snow outside my door, not even enough to fully cover the ground. Snowpocalypse sucks You can't tell the pavement from the road here, and I had to dig a path out the back before the dog would go out to pee - he took one quick jump outside, found that the snow was torso level, and came back in and tried to go straight back to bed. The hill we live on is basically undriveable even in slight snow, so there's three abandoned cars just down the road, including one that bumped into the back of a neighbour sideways. It's not great here.

RED WARNING NOW FOR THE SOUTH WEST / WALES! Starts tonight at 3pm! Covers Cardiff, Exeter, and almost Bristol! Between 15:00 Thu 1st and 02:00 Fri 2nd A spell of heavy snow and blizzard conditions is expected. The snow will be accompanied by very strong easterly winds leading to severe drifting. Some places could also see significant ice build up due to freezing rain from later on Thursday evening, most likely in the south of the area. Long delays and cancellations of public transport seem highly likely. Some roads are likely to become blocked by deep snow, stranding vehicles and passengers. Long interruptions to power supplies and other utilities are very likely to occur, along with damage to trees and other structures due to heavy snow or ice. PHONE WORK NOW, if you live in the area. If you are already at work speak to your boss make them aware the work needs to close today, its not safe. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings#?region=sw&date=2018-03-01®ionType=area
