STOP! Do not attempt to influence your government. Do not promote political or ideological causes. Do not allow yourself to act in any way that may be defined as terrorism. Do not attempt to distort the meaning of terrorism from that which the government that you may not influence prescribes. Do not talk with your companions. Do not examine your phone.
Please stay where you are, and await further instructions.
To my eternal shame, I voted Lib Dem, as I couldnât stomach NuLab again. And all we got was a deeper sense of betrayal than letting them back in would have given usâŚ
Yeah, they sewed the game up. Itâs like consumer product branding - washing powders, for instance - under one all-controlling entity. Clegg is Cameronâs foil, keeps the nation wondering whatâs going on.

Please, weâre not on The Sun. They were both leadership material, they had a competition, Ed won (or rather, the media-anointed Blairite successor lost). Letâs leave real knives to the likes of Hazel Blears.
I donât think so. All about a hopelessly polluted future where the protagonist ends up assassinating someone in order to trigger a war & reduce the population. I have it in a box somewhere, but god knows where. I read so much itâs difficult to remember whatâs what from week to weekâŚ
