I am disappointed that he used the word "offend" which will alienate a lot of gay people. He could have been rather more diplomatic, I feel.

It needs a hearty meal, a stiff drink, and a good lie down from the look of it.

There is very little appetite over here to get involved in Syria, people are feeling war-weary and Iraq in particular has left a very bad taste in the mouth. In a yougov poll published yesterday only 9% of those surveyed are in favour of deploying British troops on the ground in Syria. More...

Not automatically, no. It's possible the opposition might call for one but it's highly unlikely as no confidence votes are only really effective against minority governments. Yes we have one of those at the moment but the two coalition parties would vote together to defeat such a motion. They...

The coalition government has a working majority of 77 so losing this vote is actually extremely embarrassing for the Prime Minister. David Cameron (or Call Me Dave, as I refer to him) has suffered a political and a public relations disaster this evening, which concerns me because politicians...

If dear old Charlie doesn't understand the rather significant difference between isolationism and non-interventionism he really ought not to be on a panel discussing politics at all.

I think "GET BENT" pretty much sums it up :D

Let's hope so. When I recall what happened at the 2012 RNC I still can't believe they "got away with it". I may have watched too many cowboy films during my youth, the ones where the good guys always win in the end, but to see that kind of blatant corruption occurring before my very eyes...

I'm not a kook or a conspiracy theorist. Are these qualifications to be a "Paultard"? If so I may no longer qualify to be one of the good Doctor's merry-men :p

I wonder how many of those registered Republican voters were Ron Paul supporters? Also how many of those registered Republican voters were turned off by Mitt Romney?!

I wish Mr. Willis the very best of luck and I will be watching what occurs with great interest and willing him to succeed, especially after the quite disgraceful way the delegation from Maine was treated at the RNC. Those people were heroic, there's no other word for it. And Nevada too, of course :D

Channel 4 News (a very well respected news programme over here) just showed a short clip of Senator Paul's speech, which was a pleasant surprise. They clearly they see him as a "mover and shaker" in the fiscal cliff situation.
