The alleged actions involve a Brazilian male escort.

I would rather have eaten a razorblade sandwich than watch that...

I instead went to the cinema.

The Tory Mayor of Havering and two other councillors have defected to UKIP, making the Tories a minority administration on my local council. This may have had something to do with a batch of incumbents getting deselected for the upcoming May elections.

Nigel Evans found not guilty, therefore no Ribble Valley by-election.

Not just that. The evidence against him like wet tissue. It should have never gone to court.

If the Guardian article on the case is accurate I'd have to agree.  What were the police and CPS doing?

Post-Savile, they'll have it hard either way. It says something that of the celeb sex prosecutions recently that have returned verdicts, the only 'wins' for the CPS have been Stuart Hall (who pled guilty) and that fairly obscure singer.

Also, Norman Tebbit calls for Martin McGuinness to be assassinated.

One is allowed to day dream, even of the death of your enemies.

Not the Christian thing to do, but I cant really blame him. If he was an active politician it would be another matter, but this is only human.

Worth mentioning as it's not specified in the article; his wife was paralysed from the waist down and in the case of the Queen, the IRA killed her cousin.

Max Clifford found guilty of eight indecent assault charges (not guilty on two others and no verdict on an 11th - the jury took over a week); sentencing Friday.

Al will probably have more to say, but the PR man was responsible for the David Mellor resignation. Personally I never liked him; he seemed to be a PR equivalent of an ambulance chaser.

they've become bogged down at around 35-37. Still, it's not exactly brilliant news for the Tories either.

Labour won on 36 in 2005.

Most of the art (a good deal coursework) seems to have survived as well.

Michael Gove demoted, the best news to come out of this reshuffle.

Some very happy staff rooms in schools across the country this morning I'd imagine.

Definitely; although he is now Chief Whip. Mind you, his role in that could backfire.

Didn't even know he was still alive; I've got one of his books, but I've yet to read it.

I suspect many people felt he had it coming.
