So if precedent is anything to go by, we can expect the rule to be quickly changed as it will inconvenience somebody in the Government.

Quite probably. But if so, it's because they've been incorrectly suspected of something that they haven't done. Not just because they are muslim, which is what is happening in China.

I'm not sure a solid 20 hours of posting racism counts as "a few moments".

Hope nobody had an imminent trip to Spain planned...

All the things that people above have said. For the Guantanamo Bay comparison to work, the US would have to be rounding up muslims and detaining them just for being muslim.

And Toby Young is surely riding in on his white horse as we speak.

I get the feeling that "I didn't appreciate that the words I used were associated with anti-semitism, and intend to better educate myself to their impact" is really going to cut it with this one.

I've been wearing one for ages. Since my parents were murdered outside a theatre and I've been fighting crime on the streets of the fictional city of Gotham it just seems appropriate.

No, the SNP will. That'll be it though, even the Lib Dems won't be.

Well quite. "Lawyer who gets paid a lot of money to fight a case says that a case is worth fighting" isn't really evidence that they might win it in my book.

What suggests they were likely to win it?

Ridiculous, when Quitalia was staring them right in the face.

Rumours that Corbyn might have the Labour whip removed as a result of some of the recommendations in the EHRC report. Can't imagine his supporters would take that too well.

Championship 14/15, Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich were promoted in that order. Seems pretty fair that five years later they go back again in that order

Precisely.

Probably, but that someone will still likely be the taxpayer rather than the individual or their family.

Also the brain box behind this subsequently-deleted claim:

The precis of the Russia Report sent to the press: For people who don't fancy reading the whole thing.

Edit: my New Year's Eve 2018 was clearly a raucous affair.

It's fairly traditional. Monday and Tuesday were typically quieter, so if you wanted to take a day off then you'll do it when it'll have the lowest impact on your livelihood. Then when chain restaurants arrived and opened every day, prioritising availability of their product over making every day profitable, that pushed more of the smaller ones into offering the same service. So everyone is right. You don't seen it very often, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a thing.

Bit weird that he thinks he might be really. I mean, I've not needed to request advance warning on whether I'm mentioned in connection with treacherous activity and colluding with foreign powers trying to damage the country. Wonder why he does.

Ireland has so few places to go on holiday that the Tánaiste has to literally go and stay in Father Ted's house.

Fair enough. I'm not going to lie and claim to have read Reeves' book, but given it's a history of women in Parliament, it would be odd if she didn't find something to praise. As I've said, I've not read it so I don't know if she left out all the bad stuff. But I'd expect a biography to cover the good and the bad. Plus, I guess it comes down to how many degrees of separation counts as zero tolerance. Jeremy Corbyn said that he was "really pleased" when the Astor statue was erected. I wouldn't say that's enough smoke to warrant expulsion, but zero tolerance is zero tolerance. McNicol I expect can have few complaints if he leaves the party at the end of the investigation if what seems pretty clear to be true, is true.
