    SBITC Kit / Boot Amnesty

    Great idea. Anyone know what the club does with their old kit and training gear?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Exactly. I suspect you'd also see an end to career politicians who do very little but pocket a huge amount of cash. How many MPs these days aren't even from the area they represent.

    But that's democracy. We can't start picking and choosing who is allowed to stand. If their policies are as bad as you say they are then it is up to the other parties to highlight the problems and question them on it so that they don't obtain enough votes to gain power. Its a very dangerous...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Personally I'd like to see wages slashed in politics. Start with our own MPs. Make it so they all receive the average UK wage or something similar. I'd also stop all this second home rubbish. Would be much cheaper in the long run to build accommodation for MPs. Give them the basics they need...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not really. He was doing both jobs until a change in the law required that to end. This was your original post. The implication is clear. The reality is he trained for 4 years and practiced for 18 only leaving the profession when he couldn't maintain both roles due to a change in the law...

    He was a Lithuanian MP when he left. Their salary is around £20K a year.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Started his internship in 1975 and qualified as a surgeon in 1979 so 4 years. Then practiced until 1993 (18 years). He didn't give it all up to become an MP. He became an MP in 1992 after being Supreme Deputy of Lithuania for 2 years, while still working. He wrote the Lithuanian constitution...

    Alternatives to sky, virgin etc

    Moving into my new place tomorrow. I've gone for BT. Paying £30 a month for Infinity, BT TV and BT Sport. Includes a recorder as well to replace my Sky Plus box. Probably going to add Now TV. If you buy the cards that's £5 a month for the Sky channels.

    The key is how it compares to others. More people think Cameron is (was) doing his job badly, 70% don't trust Osbourne financially. When you compare the two doesn't look such a bad result for Corbyn.

    just seen ticket price vs pompey

    It's £15 for a standing ticket at Nuneaton so I'm not sure we can really say this is a huge rip off.

    If you apply that logic then neither can the conservatives, they have an even smaller slice of the pie than labour.

    I swear I've seen this somewhere before..

    That's terrible, who thought that was a good idea. Check out this effort from our opponents in Austria

    RIP Labour

    None, as I've said before. But equally I don't think Eagle or Smith would. Don't think May will either. The interesting thing would be, as Sturgeon has intimated she is open to, Labour and the SNP worked together.

    RIP Labour

    MP murdered in the street and political activity carries on as usual. Few tweets to Eagle and all member political activity is banned.

    RIP Labour

    The 1 point lead is when the polls are adjusted to reflect the low voter turn out in recent elections. When you put the turnout back up interestingly the Labour lead is 5 points. The key for Corbyn will be to mobilise those who weren't voting. He, or whoever is leading Labour at the time...
