The town is rife with rumours of Gary Barlow coming to Silentnight

Pendle is a Labour/Tory swing seat in parliamentary elections. That will be next year, not the Borough and Euro elections this. Current make up of the Barnoldswick Wards for the Borough is 5 Lib Dem and 1 Tory Shadow cabinet member Maria Miller came to support the local Borough Council Elections Can...

Today, in 1940, Churchill made his first speech as Prime Minister:

Shame that I missed Shadow Cabinet Maria Eagle on Saturday. After the photos on the square, with only one of the Barnoldswick candidates - my friend Lynn - (see twitter & facebook for appropriate channels) they apparently retired to Victoria's for a cup of tea.

The warning signs were there all along, in the money supply numbers and the asset prices. Has there been a similar situation in history? Probably if you...

" Gordon & Ed forged a wedding between the two. " Not really, all they did was facilitate what the Co-op wanted to do, Exactly what Ossie is doing now and in the process laying the seeds of even worse financial consequences. The report says that it was a bad decision taken by a board ...

Fairly damning report into the management of the Co-operative bank, and the even more parlous state of Britannia when Gordon & Ed forged a wedding between the two. A deal that should never have been done, and maybe Britannia would have been another of those banks who lent money on property to go...

The Labour Party are giving hints that they are to move their accounts from the Co-op into a bank set up under the Union umbrella.

Seems they failed to mention that the Co-op licence that bank and more than 50% of the directors are from the Co-op

A friend yesterday came under some fairly hostile trolling online and during our discussion she said:

Its fine seriously being female and ethnic it's unfortunately normal

Made me think, just what is normal and how a human being can adapt to survive such normality
