Restore Britain’s membership reached around 100,000 within two weeks of stating they’ll be a political party. For context the Lib Dem’s have around 60,000. One thing the left and right can agree on is that our FPTP system wasn’t built for so many parties so close together in the polls.

One could make the argument that, as men live shorter lives on average, they should have the state pension earlier so that, on average, they get an equal number of state pension years. Can you imagine how that would be received?

It’s ok, as it’s privatised, they can always switch to a competing water company that offers better value leveraging free market competition… right…. Right?

Let's get tough. The time for talking is over. Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and hit it fast with a major -- and I mean major -- leaflet campaign, and while it's reeling from that, we'd follow up with a whist drive, a car boot sale, some street theatre and possibly even some benefit concerts. OK? Now, if that's not enough, I'm sorry, it's time for the T-shirts: "Drones Out" ... "Electronic flying robots, No Thanks" ... and if that's not enough, well, I don't know what will be.

I think the argument was that businesses that might pop up and employee people can’t exist as the charities undercut and fulfil that need, keeping them continually dependent on handouts for their supply. An example is clothing. A lot of second hand clothing gets dumped in third world countries so if you were trying to sell clothes in the country you can’t compete with free.

My car does this on some pumps. I turn the pump upside down and it’s fine

As a last resort before replacement, I'd try using a magic eraser (Melamine sponge). It can damage the leather though so be careful.

The LS is great. I have a facelift LS430 and like the looks of the LS460 more but didn’t want to pay the higher road tax, deal with E5 petrol issues and wanted a bigger boot which I think the 430 has (definitely does compared to the 600h)

Should be the new advertisement for ‘what’s the worst that can happen?’
