            Enragés and tricoteuses will do just fine.

              I was going to put this in Current Favourite Jokes but what the hell... spotted on the antisocial media:

              If any more Tories join the Lib Dems they'll be able to call themselves New Labour!

                Always unwise to laugh at your own jokes.

                    Yup, it's a brooch.

                      She does come across as being fairly abroocheable...

                        I can't help noticing that, having trashed Corbyn's carefully calculated neutrality for "indecision", the mainstream media have now taken to piling into Jo Swinson, claiming the Liberal Democrats' new policy as "too extreme", and effectively in betrayal of the majority vote.

                        This letter, from Janine Hukins of Wimborne, in next week's Radio Times, offers a taste of just how far things have drifted at Radio 4, just for starters:

                        "John Humphrys is leaving the Today programme (Radio 4) and I am already feeling bereft,

                        He is a superb interviewer and only interrupts when the subject is waffling, and then during a pause, not like with other presenters, who talk over the other person. His questions are to the point and he really listens to the answers. What shall we do without him?"




                        This, from Brenda Wolfe of Liverpool, is more like it:

                        John Humphrys has been on Today for more than 30 years and, as far as I am concerned, that's 30 years too long. The job of an interviewer is to elicit information, and when necessary give the interviewee enough rope to hang themselves, or to interject an incisive question to show up their attempts to deceive the public. Humphrys has simply indulged in a long, boring ego trip".

                          A different dragonfly brooch today (yesterday, two in tandem, today a single one).

                            The insistence by the BBC that its audience can only deal with the simplest ideas about solutions to complex issues is really tiresome.

                            The LD position, like it or not, and whether or not it is borne of opportunism, is perfectly logical, and not that difficult to understand.

                              But maybe will not be helpful to Cornwall’s LD GE candidates.

                                Indeed not. but it being presented as problematic to actually understand , as the Labour position also has been, is just wrong.

                                Particularly when the tory position is , well what is it exactly ? Do or say whatever you can to keep the party together, and Labour out, whether legal or not.
