The last UKMT EDIT: Actually, what the gently caress will the UK be called after Scottish Independence? Obviously The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is right out. Prior to the addition of Ireland and Scotland it was just The Kingdom of England (even though it included Wales because gently caress you that's why), so I guess it will end up as The United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland? Which is pretty weird I guess. Pasco fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Sep 1, 2014 |

gorki posted:Regardless of why he omitted those bits, when the media started obsessing over it why did he not just say that he felt it was so obvious that it went without saying? Because he left his notes face down on a glass table and they were photographed. Not that the press needed much of an excuse to continue savaging Miliband, but he just coated himself in BBQ sauce and jumped into shark infested waters.

TinTower posted:In all seriousness, none of the Lib Dems that most people have heard of – Clegg, Farron, Cable, Alexander, Hughes – are going to lose at the next election, as they have massive majorities. Farron's seat is actually one where Labour lost their deposit last time around. Does the polling from Lord Oakeshott, which paints a rather grimmer picture for the Lib Dems than you do, not cause you concern?

serious gaylord posted:It's not as simple as that. Not having a tv doesn't exempt you. You can't have a smartphone since you can watch Live tv on the BBC iplayer app. Same for your computer and tablets. Having any device capable of viewing live tv means you need a licence. The burden of proof is not on them either, its on you to prove that you do not watch live BBC television. serious gaylord posted:It's up to you to go 'look, I don't have any of these apps, heres my store history to prove i never downloaded them. I've also never visited the BBC sport website while a live stream was being shown, I've never used iplayer to watch a live broadcast' etc etc. serious gaylord posted:The same way they got over 180,000 of them infront of one last year. This is all utter, utter bollocks. You only need a TV licence if you watch TV Live (or 'as Live'). "The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorders. You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch ‘catch up’ services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD." Of course, I never watch Live TV and still pay the licence because I feel like I spend half my life on the BBC News/Sport website.

It's nice to see the right-wing eating itself for once.
