It would appear Nigel Farage is trying to get Parliament back sitting over these riots, good luck Nige!

Like the school holidays I don't understand why {this year} Parliament rises for weeks, it started hols on 30th July and will reconvene on 2nd September, like the schools there is no need for it.

This practice started about the mid 1800's the reason for the Parliamentary holiday was because [then] during the Summers the river Thames used to stink to high heaven and M.P.'s couldn't stand the smell so gave themselves a few weeks off till things cooled down, this is no longer the case {apparently} so therefore no need to continue the practice. Anyway nowadays the "stink" always seems to be coming from inside Parliament.

Correction I'll give it 3 months, they've obviously hit the ground running......nose first. 

Farmers protesting outside Westminster, Winter fuel payment binned for millions of O.A.P.'s, Horizon scandal payouts still nowhere to be seen, no nearer solving the boat crisis......Yes 3 months was a good guess.

General election in the Spring me thinks!

Noticed on the news 3 "guest" speakers at the farmers protest at Westminster yesterday, Kemi Badenoch, Victoria Atkins and everyone's favourite Jeremy Clarkson, interesting trio.

It's obvious why Badenoch and Atkins were there to point score for the Tories, they don't give a monkeys about the farmers it was just a chance to have a dig at Labour. If the rolls were reversed and the farmers were outside a Tory run Westminster demonstrating those two would have set the dogs on them and had them jailed.

As for Jeremy Clarkson {I'm a farmer 'cos I've got sh*t on my wellies} apart from being surrounded by the media when he arrived how can he empathise with these farming families that have worked farms for generations when he's been doing it 5 minutes.
