Unless you're a Turkish German? Don't they have to give it up after a certain age or am I being a silly bugger?
[edit]ah they dropped that racist instrument in 2014. Good stuff. Dual nationals for all.

Thing is we can already get to London from the North West in like, 2 and a half hours. It's the infrastructure up here and across the Pennines that needs sorting, fuck HS2.
I used to have a friend who'd have to make the choice between electricity/heating and food when sanctioned and had moved his bed into his living room as his flat was so cold. The full dole is naff all as it is and it does appear these people are being scapegoated and blamed for our financial problems.
Capita back in the news again because of yet another failed public sector contract. Having worked on one of these in the past (and having friends who worked on others) there's certainly some satisfaction in seeing their incompetence have a light shone on it.

Don't know anyone who worked on this project though. We were working on the replacement army site (which after a series of idiotic choices made from on high was rebooted multiple times both before and after we had it, delayed, launched, failed) and some site for finding Care providers that I have no idea if that ever launched.
At a certain point we need to just stop giving Capita money and start hiring companies that actually deliver products even if they cost more and/or the deadline is further.

I've tried water in the south and it tastes like shit. Full of limescale and scum on ya brew.
I have no doubt in my mind that the Boris couple pic is old, just watch his response here to the question of when it was taken.
Boris to make tory haircuts an official secret when he gets into number 10, national interest or whatever tories say when they get in trouble.
"Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader and arch-Brexiter, has been appointed chair of the Boris Johnson campaign, it has just announced."
I take it he wants the campaign to fail and is sick of the proper job idea already.

The not enough time excuse is pitiful, i'm not sure if those comments are what he should be kicked out over, i think he's been more controversial in the past(not sure) but if it's enough to get kicked out then he should, enough time or not.
what. He was a 1/3 of the vote.
So the events of the day
Chris Williamson was referred to the NEC
The recommendation was for it to be sent to the NCC for a proper investigation
Claudia Webbe was supposed to be there but was actually on a pre-planned trip to Brussels
Keith Vaz steps in at the last minute, ignores the advice and votes to reinstate Williamson.
Everyone goes mad
Tom Watson now saying Corbyn should intervene even though they've been saying for months that the Leader's office shouldn't intervene in these case
Keith Vaz says it should be looked into despite voting for it
what a shambles.

haha, that's funny but it's pretty clear he's keeping her out of the cameras etc.
odd optics when pointed out though.
Old Seamus Milne might need to reconsider his brexit stance, or his political plans will face an early end.
Every cloud has a silver lining and getting rid of that berk would be good.
I read that as he will lose his seat in 36 years and I was like well no shit he's in his seventies.
Don't forget his multi billion island airport and garden bridge for school chums, the guy will happily chuck money at stuff if it suits.
I don't think the long term benefits of anything other than himself come into it though.
Hunt also saying today the government would basically pay for any fishing tariffs if there was a no-deal
like, everyone knows these promises are total bullshit but they keep saying things.
I think his time in the party is coming to an end. He's already lost a lot of power within the party over the brexit stance and gov talks. Labours recent support of a second ref no matter what is decided was definitely taken without him in the loop. The ever increasing likelihood that they will back remain full bore will be a loss for him as well. He is running out of chairs to stand on and everyone else is dead set to override him and his stupid, stupid ideas when it comes to brexit.
Him and corbyns chief of staff also made the mistake of pissing off the shadow cabinet and plp, and have paid the price in the very slow, but positive turn in labours brexit policy.
It's kind of ironic that Corbyn in 2019 seems to have the exact same problem as Theresa May before the 2017 election (remember Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill?): Two confidants who reportedly make all the decisions for him while bypassing the entire rest of the party leadership / shadow cabinet and pissing everyone off in the process.
Oh FFS, just when you thought things couldn't get any worse Mr. Austerity himself is applying for the IMF top job...
Should stay at the Evening Standard instead. Him regularly sniping at the May government from the editor's desk is probably the only positive thing he's ever contributed to society.
Obviously I can only mention my area, but that times article about no police is bang on the money, I work in an office where we have direct contact with police, and even we have to tell people to ring 101 because there are no police available. On countless occasions low level crime is effectively ignored completely.
A few months ago a fight broke out in a public park and I was told by that the cops to let them get on with it as cant be arsed with the paperwork..
The irony is shoplifting they have a total hard on for, steal a mars bar and you get the whole lot after you

I remember that his Gov shot down Gordon Brown's bid for the IMF top job as well, before it even got off the ground - Osborne obviously feels he is "worthy" by comparison.
Someone told me recently that a sizable town near me and the surrounding area had two cops and one patrol car assigned to it overnight... If they hadn't been called away elsewhere.
Jaw-dropping stuff.
you just can't trust Cor... *checks notes* Boris with our national security.
My MP Kevin Barron is also stepping down before the next election. He's another one that repeatedly voted with the Tories.
The people picking our next PM:
Scum.
- 54% want Trump as PM
- 58% want the death penalty.
- 56% believe Islam is a threat to British way of life
- 42% believe having variety of racial backgrounds has damaged UK.
Scum.
