From our correspondent in Brighton -
As Ed Balls entered the conference to a standing ovation, Mrs Wife overheard a delegate say "Either Yvette's had a LOT of surgery or he's using a model to make him look butch."
BTW, she thinks he's a sunshine, but was impressed by the speech and his delivery.

A man who thought Brown was the Messiah and who completely screwed this country with his crap policies and who, on this morning's Today programme on the home service said that it had been 67 years since the Labour party won the 1945 general election.
Can we really trust a man who cannot count to run the economy any better than he did last time he was allowed anywhere near the reins of power?

.. sort of. It's more of a what a stupid justice system we have type story.
I bring your attention to paragraph 5[^] of the article where it says he will be jailed for 4 years and banned from driving for 3 years. Now I';ve done the math and that's just stupid.
BTW NNOTD is not copyrighted like CCC and MQOTD, the nature of the beast is that anybody can post these whenever you come acroos a story worthy.

You have to remember that a four-year sentence doesn't mean that he'll be in for four years: he'll get half of that off for good behaviour, and any time spent on remand will be subtracted from it. Then there is the wonderfull "oh the prisons are full, we'll let some out earlier" bonus to consider as well. The ban however will run from the date of sentencing, and will last absolutely three years. So when he gets out, he won't be able to drive legally, and a three year ban will drastically affect his insurance costs (as if anyone from Leigh Park actually bought insurance - or a car - anyway)
Not long enough for either of them though. Should have added another zero...

I love the line
"Fagan told police she was behind the wheel and said the pair had been out shoplifting when the crash happened..."

I know it's a bit of a not knowing all the facts comment but, as an ex-biker, I am of the opinion that it you kill someone while driving and you are shown to have caused the death by driving illegally you should lose your license for life.

"ex" - because I see too many numpties out there on the road to feel any where near safe.
I now prefer my 7 airbag car

Well, even without the numpties, biking is a nonsense itself. Driving faster than 25km/h with only 2mm leather as a protection is a no-go.
