Poor Spelman and Gillan, had a little cry because they were dropped, neither were much good, particularly Spelman and her expences problems. I bet that 'third-rater' Clegg was really pleased he is number two, but then number 2 in that crap outfit isn't much to write home about.

Another bad apple gone, and good riddence

Well done to all involved, couldn't have been a more eventful birth.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-19571493 Glad to hear this man has been locked up, I'm from Nottingham and am ashamed that no one offered the lady 20p to stay on the bus, or the driver let her stay on.
