"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

Well I guess now we wait and see if he appears with UKIP and/or DFLA members and what impact that has on those groups.

Bad day to read that YouGov poll as well.

Not sure what to make of this since a bunch of these are like "the government's current approach is correct" and then a third of those people think none of the main parties agree including the one that's in government?

On the positive side most of the good stuff has people mostly believing there's a party supporting it. Of course we don't know if they're all "I agree with the Tories that the NHS needs more money!" or whatever


Yeah. Also "none of the parties want to leave the EU"

"They're doing what I want but things are still bad and also getting worse. Since I can't be wrong they must just not be doing it."

Plus a lot of people just repeat the last thing they read or heard in the hopes to appear smart. The TV, News and Radio all tell you that immigration is bad and you repeat it back because you don't want to appear dumb.

There was a bit of bike chat a few pages before the last thread got closed, and cycle asylum is pretty US centric so I thought I'd ask here, I did a CBT (possibly direct access?) quite a few years ago and I've been off the road for a while, and previously used a moped. However, there's also info next to A on my provisional. Does that mean I've got that level of licence?

Yeah I guess, plus the kind of people who think the Tories are actually marxists who want to raise taxes and the like

But really are centrists even trying to fill a niche? It's mostly "people who basically like the way things are now - red team" and "hat man misses the heady coalition days". Maybe if Labour can successfully widen the scope of what's possible, but right now the policies aren't so radically different that there's even room for a position between them and the Tories. Not really a big surprise that most of the unclaimed political space is around people who think the tories are too soft

Speaking of, here's a kind of overview article about the Hostile Environment if anyone's interested. Doesn't go into a lot of depth about any one area, it's more about how it permeates everything and forces public sector workers to act as informants for the state

It means provided you have a valid CBT (they run out after 2 years) you are qualified to ride a motorcycle/moped up to 125cc and under a certain horse power, which I believe was 25 the last time I checked but thats way out of date.

AM is moped, as a car license holder you're entitled to ride a moped on L-plates without a CBT. A1 is full-sized motorcycle after DAS, A2 is restricted (I think 50ish hp).

Someone sat in a room and said "fox news but well spoken" and the BBC died.

The silver lining may be that it was supposed to 'convert' leftists rather than just make us say 'gently caress off BBC' every 5 minutes.
