I've had a read of the BNP's policies (at least they have some, even if they don't have a manifesto). Here's a representative sample. None of these are costed in any way by the party. Immigration This is their big topic. • "At least twenty percent of the currently resident population...

Lib Dems: "We have a financially responsible plan to phase fees out over six years" - so it would happen gradually, BUT fees for *final* year students would be scrapped immediately. I believe as a student you automatically get registered both at Uni and at Home, so you can choose which to vote...

Prepare for a giant post. I've gone through all 3 main party manifestos (I must be warped). Lib Dems's is far and away the best - FULL of detail and policy, easy to read, and is fully costed at the end. Labour's is appalling - boring, full of waffle, mostly "we'll improve this" or "look...

So did anyone else think Episode 3 was a bit rubbish? Weak writing and plotting, some shouty stuff from the Doctor and Daleks dressed as smarties. Definitely not up to the usual standard. On the other hand, Episode 4 looks like it could be a classic! :)

^"Chico Time" is worrying. "Boyzone Water" is even worse! :lol:

Sweet. And it's not a kiddie coaster :P.

Chap in work told me about it as his kid was there:- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-1265871/Alton-Towers-suffers-power-cut-leaving-riders-stranded-mid-air.html Not much they could do about it since the entire area was out!

Topical free app called iElect UK here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ielect-uk/id350116506?mt=8 The apps my life now depends on are: TweetDeck - 'nuff said, I loves my Twitter, & this works really well :). NewsRack - takes RSS feeds and makes them dead easy to read. BRILLIANT app, I...

Nice little free iPhone app called iElect UK here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ielect-uk/id350116506?mt=8 It gives you candidates and basic info for constituencies - apparently mine has been Labour since 1906, the longest in the country! :o

Mandelson waited until the very end, knowing full well there wouldn't be enough time to properly debate it, the unelected cheating ****. Interestingly, Talk Talk have just said that they'll refuse any request to disconnect someone, and they'll see the (next) government in court. Now if...

My comments of the Digital Economy Bill, which got shoved through last night: http://www.coasterforce.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28183 Suffice to say, I won't be voting Labour.

As you may have heard on the news today, the UK government forced through the Digital Economy Bill last night. It now passes to the Lords to get "rubber-stamped", and then goes into UK Law. Usually bills as complicated as this get properly debated - this had only 4 hours thanks to Labour...

^At least with the Lib Dems they're being clear about their economic policies - the Conservatives are not. I really don't want Osborne as Chancellor either! However, the Dems are relying on Labour being truthful about potential savings. Brown just proposed a "PR" referendum, elected House...

I thought HTTY Dragon had some fantastic visuals, with excellent animation, and was a huge leap forward for Dreamworks towards the quality of Pixar. I particularly liked the non-verbal communication between Hiccup and Toothless - very hard to get right, and they nailed it! So much better than...

I enjoyed the first Moffat/Smith episode on Saturday! I think it tried to do too much though, so felt a bit disjointed at times. I think Matt Smith will be excellent. He's a strong actor, brought a lot to the role immediately, and didn't at all look over-awed by following such an established...

No they didn't - they were forced to drop it by the other parties! Plus the 50p tax on having Broadband. Also the Conservatives blocked the proposed PR Referendum. BUT the bloody Digital Economy Bill looks like getting rushed through in the next 2 days - which is ****ing appalling -...

START THE FANS PLEASE! </O'Brien> This is so heading for a hung parliament! Massive number of floating voters out there, much more than usual, which means they have to target more than just the marginal seats this time. Interesting that parliament has been scheduled to return on 18 May, 6...

^I keep using that logic as I wait for Cardiff's ridiculous run of luck to expire - e.g. Leicester goal last night from corner disallowed for "not crossing the line" (rubbish), the Tax Man actually believing their crock of crap about US investment being imminent, etc. Still waiting.

^You're playing with fire if you vote BNP though - they're not placid, and they're not a protest vote, they're a bunch of racist idiots. Don't do it. The risk of giving those utter ****s a platform is too great. They may not - it's so close this time, votes for anyone will have an impact.

Yes you can! As long as you're 18. http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/how_do_i_vote/registering_to_vote.aspx BUT if the election is announced as expected on Tuesday 6th April, then you need to register RIGHT NOW to get your registration in on time.
