    Istanbul Attacks

    On the other hand it might backfire on IS, their attacks have made a 2 or 3 large predominantly muslim nations very much poorer (Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia). Just thinking Erdogan & Putin might just sort out their differences and go splat them. I'm rather uncertain what their true agendas are, just...

    The Next England Manager

    Will not happen, he wants 1 more shot at Premiership, maybe 2, then might get him after WC, though he would be 68 then, same age as Woy is now.

    Not necessarily, you can have a minimum % threshold before getting any seats. That would keep out the more extreme groups. But it would make it more difficult for independents (like Martin Bell). Somehow you need a system that allows popular individuals to get a seat but keeps out extreme...

    Brexit: No EU compromise on freedom of movement http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36659900 I wonder if that was the issue that Mr Cameron and all the remainers rather forgot to mention. Of course being told that by Tusk & Juncker is likely to get up the nose of leavers who were simply...

    Not when the leave vote is largely over 55's. But if the new PM fudges overmuch the next General Election result will result in big Tory losses. That combined with Labour imploding will make fore a much altered political landscape.

    Beggars and Begging

    There was virtually none of this up to the late 1970's, all you would see is a few tramps, mainly old men and a few women (or at least they looked old). In the UK street beggars became common around the time Maggie got in and in their number were some younger people.
