Jeff Venom Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Electoral borders committee have published their initial report on redrawing Scottish borders and there are some humdingers. https://www.bcomm-scotland.independent.gov.uk/?q=reviews/2023-review-uk-parliament-constituencies Just to remind you: Scotland has been allocated 57 constituencies for the 2023 Review, two less than at present. England has been allocated 543 (+10), Northern Ireland 18 (no change) and Wales 32 (-. Detail in the link. So England would have a net +20 seats to get the UK government they want, cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I simply called her and asked her not to break lockdown with Lester," she said. "She was breaking the rules and I was just pointing it out. I'm the victim." Webbe claimed she was a victim of "domestic abuse and coercive control" and was being "goaded and gaslighted" during the row, which resulted in police being called after a neighbour reported her screams. She confirmed she was still in a relationship with Mr Thomas and they were engaged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 A spokesman for the Gammon Facebook Alliance said: "It's coz they're all over 'ere robbin' us, innit".To be fair, that is a significant part of it. Why waste your time stealing from the poorest folk in Europe when you can just rob the Danes, Swiss or Germans?There are a lot of criminals in Albania but almost exclusively restricted to smuggling or production (most of Europe's marijuana is Albanian). The average citizen very rarely has any problems with crime (fraud, corruption excepted). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The Claudia Webbe stuff just gets more bizarre. This from the Sky News report: Quote Some of the phone calls had their number withheld, but some did not as Webbe had dialled "121" before Ms Merritt's number instead of "141", which withholds the caller's number. https://news.sky.com/story/claudia-webbe-mp-found-guilty-of-harassing-partners-friend-with-silent-phone-calls-during-lockdown-12433084 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most capitalist and unequal part of Europe (England) has the high rate of robberies whilst the old Communist bloc countries score quite low. Almost as if Karl had a point...Or there's nothing worth nicking Also what makes the Swedes a bunch of thieving b*****ds? Is Spain full of ex-pat Brits nicking stuff?

ICTChris Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I didn’t realise that Claudia Webbes predecessor as MO for Leicester East was Keith Vaz. Out of the “buying drugs for hookers” frying pan into the “threatening women over the phone” fire. Tories came within 6,000 votes in 2019. I’m sure there’s been talk of growing support for Conservatives among the Indian community specifically, who make up a large percentage of the population in Leicester East. Going to keep an eye for my by-election gambling streak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 What's Amess best known for? Haven't heard the name in a while, but I'm sure he was in the press a lot a while ago. Bound to be a big increase in the bill for MP security soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
