Crossbill Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 This is just shocking! I find it very hard to believe that the Tories would break electoral law, especially after the severe slap on the wrist they got last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iranian parliament has an MP for the Christians, an MP for the Jews and an MP for the Zoroastrians. Apparently the Zoroastrians are not keen on burying their dead and instead they leave them on hillsides to be devoured by scavenger birds. Not sure if this is still the case but you might have protests from the Ramblers and the Munro baggers if you tried that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I can name any others tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked Wikipedia. A lot of exotic Indian names that don't exactly trip off the tongue (unless you are seriously, seriously gone). Never mind. I am quite sure Freddie would be happy doing a one-man show here. Please no innuendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a great showman and I loved his music but I thought his half eaten carcass on the Law would have been a bigger tourist attraction than it was.

Bully Wee Villa Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I may have made this up... but wasn't there a bloke called Zoroaster, who was a Zoroastrian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at where Labour's swing was highest, university seats, places with middle class, remain voting, university educated people. The swing was lower in working class, traditional Labour heartlands. Corbyn knows who his supporters are and he's speaking to them effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly like the chapter about how people feel the need to sneer at working class people who have the audacity to do anything that costs money.
