Prefer stories like this.

So what we've established is we all prefer things that confirm our existing prejudices.

If someone openly wrote rubbish lies about you - you would she them for liborus allegations....,.

I'd probably sue them for libelous allegations. I'm not sure my lawsuit against a made up word would be successful.

There have been some charges, but it's all very token, and just the tip of the iceberg:

Libor rigging trial: Former Barclays bankers jailed

Four former Barclays bankers are ordered to serve jail terms for rigging the Libor interest rate.

I'd quite forgotten that particular acronym. Funny how quick the world moves on.

Aye, I suspect so. Doesn't give you any confidence in sound leadership from our political class either way though. Really is a dog's choice with any of them.

Vote for the one which aims to deal with child poverty.

Crimes against libido.

It's not the book though is it?

The polls are all over the place, but there are a fair few commonalities:

• The Tories don't have much more room to grow. It looks like the ceiling for them is the 42-44% mark.
• Labour are pressing soft LibDem votes hard, and there's still another 4-7% for them to take.
• A significant number of Labour-voting leavers (~30%) have abandoned the party over the stance for a second referendum.
• It's unlikely that we'll see a majority Labour government next Friday.

The poum.

• It's unlikely that we'll see a majority Labour government next Friday.

I'd say it's impossible as the election isn't till the 12th.

Next Friday is the 13th lid.

Next Friday is the 13th lid.

Today's Monday the 2nd. Next Friday is December 6th. Check a calender.

This Friday is the 6th, next Friday is the 13th.

Are you being serious?

Yikes!

What are Jo Swinson’s Liberal Democrats so desperate to hide?

I’ve had some bizarre lawyers’ letters in my time. But this one involved a forgery by the Lib Dem press office. Why?

Seems like someone didn't forward an email and have tried to pretend they did rather than just admit the mistake.

I think that's a pretty safe bet.
