Fox News, unfortunately, is one of these 'alternative news sources', completely removed from reality, but which has a very wide reach. I believe it's the most watched 'news' channel in the States.

Have you seen the mock ups of the new passports, they're not OUR blue at all, but some sort of soft foreign blue. Surprised the normally patriotic daily mail have missed this & are more worried about queues. Don't they know we Brits invented queuing and love queues. dailymail.co.uk Looks like they lifted the article from the guardian, so hopefully light blue loving communist conspiracy. |

Harrumph! Wasn't worth voting Leave at all if we're not going to get the right shade of blue.

Seriously, I am surprised that the leavers don't care. As a football fan, when they screwed up Birmingham's royal blue, there was a right hoo-ha about it (and rightfully so, we don't play in aqua-sodding-marine). If you want the old passport, it should be the same colour, as it should be. The detail is important and is what matters. Like 350 million a week to the NHS. But as with most things Brexit, detail is just boring, schmoring.

Whilst in reality I'm not bothered about the passport colour, it's seems funny to make a big fuss about a symbol and then get the symbol wrong. To me the passport is just a distraction from the real issues of Brexit, a trivial token gesture to placate hard Brexiteers. If the govt can't get these simple things right, it may be telling when it comes to the complicated exit & trade negotiations. |

So some people very vocal here when Jared O'Mara made indefensible comments online, and he was rightfully suspended: theguardian.com So now Toby Young makes equally as bad comments, and the tumbleweed blows... throw in his support for progressive eugenics and surely he his totally unfit for the Office for Students post? (He can say what he likes, I defend free speech, but when it comes to being promoted to a position of power, when he can enact some of his dodgy views, I start to worry). theconversation.com So Labour suspend their idiots, while Tories promote theirs? |

If rumours that Chris Grayling is to become party chairman, I can't think of any role I'd sooner see him in.

For the rump of 70,000 blue-rinse reactionaries who form the conservative party, he's just the sort of person they admire. And that's what matters.

70,000 oooo.... ripe for entryism, so fellow socialists if you were to join and vote in the next one, who would you fancy? Bearing in mind the Corbyn option didn't work too well for the Tories who joined to "destroy" the Labour party and now face the really possibility he could win the next election.
