Could this law be a compromise between the anti-migrant right and left-wing who generally support the rights of migrants so long as they have not broken any laws? Could this simmer tensions and be enough to shift people away from heavily right-wing parties?</description>

			<description>Are you all gonna watch it today? Personally i’d prefer to sit through a DVD of Swansea City and Bristol City highlights.
All that expense just to celebrate Charlies “official” birthday. How many birthdays does he get?
In a week that has been dominated by the seemingly lack of funding for the UK military and defence budget, it seems crackpot crazy to be wasting public dough on this nonsense today. 
If it was up to me, i’d just send Charlie and his immediate family to a pizza hut and let a few streamers and balloons off.</description>

			<description>Be it Ideology, Religion, Climate, Immigration, Taxation (and how it is spent) Culture, Race, Class, Sexuality, Sex/Gender, Policing or Protesting…etc

Most people of whatever political persuasion seem to me, to stick to one side as opposed to an al a carte choice.
A one sized Fitz Hall, if you like.

It seems to me that that people (who take the time to post on social media at least) are now very firm in their views and not much is going to give way, while hostility to one and other is growing.

What happens next, once the discourse has run dry?</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Did anyone watch Question Time on BBC1 on Thursday? I did. On the panel, amongst others, were Andy Burnham and Robert Kenyon the Reform candidate. I actually felt sorry for the latter, (leaving aside the revelations about the murkier side of his comments in the recent past which were quite disturbing) he seemed totally out of his depth poor lad and on times quite inarticulate. He would make a good local councillor as he clearly has a passion for the local people and the area that he grew up in, and still lives in, but as an M.P...uhm. I know the argument is that we need more &#8220;ordinary&#8221; people in Parliament rather than career politicians but in this case&#8230;?

I think after Kenyon&#8217;s performance Burnham will very likely win this by-election, especially as Restore are fielding a candidate which will split the Reform vote. If that is the outcome it will be interesting to see if Burnham will be seen much in the constituency or will he be devoting his time and energy into a leadership campaign?]]></description>
