I think it's a good idea. Not sure it's anything to worry about. As if any but the most politically engaged 16/17 year olds would vote anyway. Why shouldn't they have a say in their future?

Not sure that is much worse than the Conservatives offering the 'quadruple lock' for the stiffs?

Seems mad that he would prefer to do that than proudly defend the many achievements of the last fourteen years of Conservative government on the campaign trail.

When was the last time that you did trust a political party? Was it linked to a particular issue or do you have to trust them on every issue?

Is it a bit like that? You sure?

Good to see the shy Tories aren't planning to vote this year. 'ThEy ArE aLl As BaD aS eAcH oThEr.' Okay mate. Stay at home. Don't worry about having a say.in how our country is governed for the next five years.

I voted. PCC election here. Don't particularly care for the PCC and think it should probably be abolished but voted anyway as you can guarantee the blue rinse stiffs will be voting and we've all heard quite enough from them.

Seemed a bit of a shame to me. I voted Izzard as I think to overturn majority of 20k when the incumbent party is to the left of Labour would have been easier with a candidate with high name recognition. Just being the Labour candidate doesn't seem like it would be enough vs when facing...

The white bits are the housing allocations. Plenty of room for the the NIMBY ghouls to walk their dogs and they might even still get to use their footgolf club memberships.

St Cuthman's Wheelbarrow. The story has it that he carted his nan up from the West Country in it and St Andrew's was built where the rope that he hung over his shoulders snapped.

Send him to the stiffs for the rest of his contract. Seems to me there is more value in having a reputation as a club who sell players on the club’s terms rather than at the first sign of interest from elsewhere or when a player throws a wobbly. Would also be concerned if we sold him as the...
