With the sudden influx of a large number of new SNP MPs is there a distinct possibility that we see a lot of inexperienced and incompetent people being thrown into Westminster?

Great to see the Labour liquidation in Scotland. For a long time their policy in Scotland was limited to reminding the electorate that they were not the Tories.

Don't know whether to laugh, cry or throw flowers at the TV. Beautiful stuff.

Just got back from Manila for the Pacquaio fight. What a dump. I'm not sure the place has any redeeming features.

Is that someone behind Willy Brandt using a selfie-stick...?

Tresor is brilliant. I miss those clubs in Asia...

You're entitled not believe this, but I was standing next to the guy filming it. It was for a colleagues leaving do and we did the sub-crawl around the Glasgow subway system, stopping for a pint at each station. I was 17, not long been at the company and had just thrown up shortly before the...

This made me laugh... http://eveningharold.com/2015/04/11/andy-murray-loses-wedding-to-novak-djokovic/

Just out of interest, is there any data to back that up? I think you're correct in that undocumented migrants might be beneficial to the economy on a small scale, but surely they would be infinitely more beneficial to the economy if they were fully documented and legal? I.e. the ability to...

Bought this last year after doing a stint working in Macau. (Not my photo, or hairy hand...)

I'll be honest, I've never given much thought to the idea of immigration being a moral question. (I'd be interested to hear you expand on the idea though). I've always viewed it as practical issue (infrastructure etc.) and one that should primarily serve Britians best interests (skilled labour...

The definition of "shit wages" is pretty general, and I'd define it as a figure below the market average. To use a broad example, if Asda decide to pay a "shit" wage to their employees, then their staff will fuck off to Tesco or Sainsbury, and Asda will find it difficult to staff their shops...

A) I wouldn't class this is strictly an immigration issue, globalisation probably plays a more significant role in the flight of decent low-skilled manufacturing jobs abroad, but if a significant amount of labour is added to the jobs market, then how can that not drive down wages? (Not sure why...

Except that wasn't the point I was making. I'm not denying that there may be racist owners of clubs out there, who promote a transfer or recruitment policy based on skin colour. However, the incentive or - to be more precise - the penalties for endorsing such a policy and rejecting a large...

This. There's absolutely no incentive for clubs to discriminate on colour, the opposite in fact.

The Stasi museum is worth a trip, but my recollection was that it had no English translation, so your enjoyment might be limited. However, this was about 5 years ago, so it could have well changed. Anyway, Berlin is a cracking city. Fascinating history and good clubs. Fantastic combination.

Off to Bangkok on Friday morning for Easter. I love that city.

People that are constantly sharing photos in the mistaken belief they might win a prize.

Does anyone use LinkedIn? It's becoming increasingly ridiculous. Saw this a few days ago. People now quoting WIZ KHALIFA!

I thought the guy 2nd right was a young Peter Beardsley? They look a jovial lot anyway...
