You're missing the point Otis. It is the misrepresentation that is the problem. Yes, I have 3 children, and I once had an horrendous experience with my first child, which was under a Labour government in fact (but I didn't blame Tony Blair personally). The issue is this - what happened was...

I'm sorry, but you've all lost your minds. You're so desperate for this to be true that none of you are listening. What happened has been confirmed by staff at the hospital. The child wasn't given a bed, true, but was in a chair in the treatment room. The parents placed the child on the floor...

In other news, what was Jo Swinson thinking when she announced the gender self-ID policy? Hardly a vote winner and will plague her for the remainder of the campaign and lead to more excrutiating inverviews like this:

I'm guessing the reference is to the letterbox comment he made. Read the whole piece though and it does shed a slightly different light on it given that he was defending the right of Muslim women to wear the hijab in response to Denmark's decision to ban it. I'm not sure why he uses such silly...

Yeah, just read the post again and she does.

OK, I waded in based on one post without reading the thread. I don't buy into the lazy 'racist PM' tropes though.

Yep, this sort of thing just undermines the very legitimate concerns and criticisms.

Who? She doesn't name the person she's quoting, does she?

Yeah, apparently so. He was in with flu, so wasn't given a bed because, well, he had flu. He was placed on the floor on some coats by his parents who then sent images to the Mirror. Was discharged soon after. Using your sick child as a political prop, that's pretty low.

There are actually advantages to this. Peers are less likely to be careerist and think in short term, 5 year parliamentary cycles. I worked with a Lib Dem peer on an energy working group on a white paper and saw this first hand. I think the system works. Hereditary peers should go though With...

Aye, and there seems to be a lot going over tomorrow who don't usually bother (based on the conversations I've had), should be over 8K.

Not funny anymore. How have we not scored?

This is not that uncommon. Most planning decisions are delegated. They only tend to go to committee if it's a contentious application that has received more than 5 objections, or if the fire, police or somebody like English Heritage raises concerns. It still stinks though.

Which I never said. I said they are not always full, but of course they often are.

Well it isn't, and nor would this be, no hotel runs at 100% occupancy every night, they don't need to. That said, it is well known that there is a shortage of hotel beds in Coventry, particularly Monday-Friday, it is why 3 new hotels are being built in the city centre. This hotel was never...

Of course, but that's always the case and we have a tough run too. The point being, we about where we were at this stage last season, which is frustrating as we are clearly a better side this term. Shows we're probably 5 or 6 points short of where we really ought to be. Those points in the bag...

Looking at the table after 18 games last season, we are slightly better off, by 2 points and are 9 points off the top rather than 10. We had won more games at this stage last season though. Next few fixtures are crucial you feel, could easily fall to mid-table with a bad run. Get to Jan in the...

No away wins, no back to back wins, won by more than a single goal only once. Yet we're somehow hanging in there (although we will be out of the top 6 once the games in hand are played out). That's why these dropped points are so frustrating, if we could just stay in touch until Jan you feel we...

Yep, good point, I won't be putting any money on the outcome. My gut says sizable Tory majority though, the polls don't look good for Labour it has to be said.

My wife goes into a rage whenever she sees Gove on the TV! I think the key thing in the last statement, was the 'for Corbyn'. He just doesn't appeal. They'll be many people voting through gritted-teeth for the Tories I feel. Corbyn just has too many reasons for people not to vote for him...
