Camping out in front of Westminster Abbey? If only there was some kind of soup kitchen set up in the area where people could get a hearty meal.

Amazing fiddling of the figures here:

New figures from the National House Building Council show that the number of new homes registered in March was the highest since November 2007.

[..]

About 2,800 of those were for accommodation in the athletes village at the 2012 Olympics in London.

The Taliban would be proud.

James Mitchell, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 13:26 (fifteen years ago)

mental abstinence

slightly misread this, and it struck me as a good summary of dorries' m.o.

joe, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 13:33 (fifteen years ago)

Taliban would also be proud of this mug:

Former mayor Ken Livingstone sparked controversy today by claiming that the killing of Osama bin Laden made President Obama look like a "mobster".

re: dorries, the beeb says that ten minute rule bills normally pass unopposed, so the fact that 60-odd people voted against is a sign of fairly robust opposition.

joe, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 13:43 (fifteen years ago)

yeah this is a good summation of What Actually Happened http://blog.newhumanist.org.uk/2011/05/bill-on-teaching-abstinence-in-sex.html

MPs voted 67-61 in favour of the motion, with a number of the ayes apparently coming from members of the Conservative Christian Fellowship.

Oh, I think my mental new Tory MP (who theyworkforyou.com tell me has voted in 224 Commons votes and has never voted against the govt) is one of this charming crowd. Is there a list of these 67 for voters anywhere? Can't see it on the aforementioned theyworkforyou.

russ conway's game of life (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 5 May 2011 14:54 (fifteen years ago)

Ayes are listed here: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmhansrd/cm110504/debtext/110504-0001.htm#11050491000001

Nadine Dorries (Mid Bedfordshire) (Con): I beg to move,

* pea-brained shite removed *

In fact, in some newsagents now there are more sex magazines available than any other kind of magazine.

Chris Bryant (Rhondda) (Lab): Well, stop going to those shops then.

Tom D has taken many months to run this thread to ground (Tom D.), Thursday, 5 May 2011 15:12 (fifteen years ago)

weird, I thought Redwood was some kind of Rand-ian Libertarian.

Can I say I welcome the turn that this thread is about to take re: "Randy-an"

bell hops (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 May 2011 15:28 (fifteen years ago)

Randy and libertarian? Redwood always struck me as having a stick up his arse - not literally, but you can't tell with these Tories, canyouladeezangenulman, what about that Mrs. Thatch then etc.

@nadine_dorries Not only do newsagents carry more porn than magazines, but yesterday I went into a fruit + veg shop and it had HUNDREDS of bananas in it.

Matt DC, Thursday, 5 May 2011 15:36 (fifteen years ago)

nadine dorries ought to be taught to say no... to other women's husbands!!!

joe, Thursday, 5 May 2011 15:37 (fifteen years ago)

Isn't Louise Bagshawe known for her racy chick-lit? Maybe they've all seen the light?

BBC Scotland coverage said that it looks like the Lib Dems have lost 12 of their 13 council seats in Sheffield. GOOD WORK LADS.
