Leadership Farce



The Sunday Times ran an interesting story yesterday in which it suggested that Labour leadership election had descended into complete farce and may need to be called off.

 Apparently more than 140,000 new 'activists' are projected to have joined the party in time to take part in the leadership vote with unlikely bedfellows like the Telegraph newspaper and the Unite union urging their followers to support Jeremy Corbyn, albeit for very different reasons.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
