Sally Bercow didn;t realise when she turned up at the shoot that she would be expected to wear just a sheet...didn;t stop her getting her kit off and doing it...doesn;t she know the word no? Luckily not...cor...

Doing a fantastic job of promoting women MPs there.

Beats Anne widdecombe.

I'd say simply promoting mps. if she couldn't actually work out it was a bad idea at the time and regretted it later like many MPs seem to do just think of the times they don;t think when they vote and regret it later.

maybe they should invoke a 5day cooling off period when they have to re-vote on a bill just in case they didn't vote the way they should have done.

Quite right. Get them frisked up against the wall too.

Oh hold on, got to mention this one -

A new board game in Poland hopes to recreate the black market and long lines of communist times. Players try to buy basic goods but supplies run out before they reach the counter or someone with connections pushes in.

>just a response to an ill-informed slur.<

I'm impressed that you are so knowledgable concerning the legal status of a charity owning wilderness areas as opposed to it belonging to the nation. I'll go with the latter because these areas are especially precious in the hugely more built up, than Scotland, down here.

I feel much more encouraged now having just watched 'This Week' on iPlayer. Portillo said 'well of course they are going to retreat on this one, some battles are just not worth having'. And apparently the Royals are on the side of the Nation retaining ownership. And it was compared to all the fuss about museum charges under the Tories. So symbolic.

C'mon Lizzie...

This bit by posh boy is quite funny though

'...As Mr Cameron outlined his vision,...

...Ministers should refuse to share platforms or engage with such groups, ...'

Oh right so we are to more definitely pin down our national identity...which is apparently in Dave's vision...no platform, no talking . Man he likes to put Britain down..what ever happened to supreme self confidence that we can win the argument against any looney tune.

You can stick your vision of our national identity Dave.

You talk, and if people break the law you use law, and if necessary the security services.

Though he’s a long-time signed-up organ donor, Pope Benedict XVi’s donor card became null and void the day he became head honcho of the Catholic church, his personal secretary revealed.

Silly, but practically speaking a pope is always too old for almost all donations of the sort, I&#39;m relatively sure.

A 1975 papal decree stipulates that the corpse of the deceased pope must be transferred to the Basilica with due respect, etc. which is the bit which is referenced concerning the lack of an autopsy on John Paul 1. I would assume that if an autopsy is considered disrespectful, then organ harvesting also would be considered so.

In David Cameron we have a leader whose job is to quietly legitimise a semi-criminal, money-laundering economy>>>

Robert Peston says in a tweet; &#39;Many of you asked what I think of this Monbiot piece. Sorry to prevaricate but I don&#39;t want to make hasty judgement.&#39;

It will be interesting to hear what he does say...
