    Beggars and Begging

    Northampton Borough Council promote not giving to beggars, but to local homeless charities. They Then get the right help rather than spend money on drink, and locals are less likely to feel intimidated

    The Next England Manager

    Alan Shearer. He clearly cares and spoke common sense throughout the tournament. He won't suffer fools either and will pick and play who he wants , and in their correct position.

    Euro 2016 big thread

    Shame Lineker said well done to Ireland at the start. Thought France had dropped out! Shearer should take it on - Never get the job though as he talks too much sense

    Forthcoming General Election

    We did have regional government offices until the 2010 election, but these went iup in smoke in the bonfire of the quangos. They were supposedly replaced by Local Enterprise Partnerships, but these have a much narrower focus. Both were/are funded primarily from EU funding (including funding...

    Glastonbury......

    Watching New Order on i-player - really good. Need to track down Squeeze too. By the way nice touch from Coldplay in regard to the young Warrington band killed in a car crash (can't recall the name of the band for my sins - soz)

    For those who had the full picture yes, but suspect an anti establishment protest vote featured somewhere too - as was the case across England. Tony's anecdote re his Cornish cousin suggests a degree of ignorance in regard to EU funding.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

And, don't forget your homework or you won't be going to the roller disco this evening - I really don't like being...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    My understanding is that anyone born in Northern Ireland is automatically entitled to Irish and/GB nationality, so any application would be a formality.
