October is not a bad plan. After all they are currently in Recess for the Whit Holiday and then they'll have 10 weeks off for the Summer Holidays. The Few County Council elections will be over and bedded in, the European Elections ditto and the dust will have settled over the latest rows and we will be able to take stock of who has to go and who will be offering themselves for re-election. Constituency parties will be able to reflect on who they want rather than end up being bounced into selecting another trougher. No, all in all I feel that October would be a good time to choose ~ certainly better than waiting until next June (which is, I believe, the latest possible date)

Quote

There was I, waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church, waiting at the church;
When I found he'd left me in the lurch.
Lor, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me round a note
Here's the very note, this is what he wrote:
"Can't get away to marry you today,
My wife, won't let me!"

When they run out of beer ~ go home TMR, Go Home.

Let off fireworks, OH stood on a barrier holding a barrel of gunpowder and stuff. A mix of people there - Marxists, Jury Team supporters, the SWP, two BNPers and other assorted offal. And that mad bloke from the G20 protest. Lots of press and the BBC were there. I am now waiting for a train at Victoria.
