David Cameron has pledged a free vote in Parliament on punching people in the face who haven’t prepared dinner on time if the Conservatives win the General Election.

The Prime Minister’s pledge to allow a vote on the face punching ban if he has a clear majority after May 7, was last night hailed as the right move by campaigners.

Mr Cameron said he shares people’s frustration at the legislation outlawing the slapping of tardy food preparers in the kisser– which has now been in place for decades – and would like to see the ban repealed.

In a statement to the press, Mr Cameron said a free vote on the right to punch out the lights of anyone not having food ready on time was the right approach and Mr Cameron’s pledge – made in an article in the Countryside Alliance magazine – would mean there was a real possibility of the ban being overturned and…

On a visit to Stoke Mandeville today, UKIP leader Nigel Farage made a ‘joke’:

“Jimmy Savile and now HS2, Stoke Mandeville has had it all!”

Hundreds of people have reported being sexually abused by Savile at Stoke Mandeville hospital.

As an example, one woman described being raped by Savile on about 10 separate occasions at the hospital when she was aged eight or nine years old.

Q: What not to do if you’re a politician on a visit to Stoke Mandeville?

A: Make a Jimmy Savile joke.

Section 102 and Schedule 11 of the Welfare Reform Act, (Clause 99) is the (State) power to require revision before appeal. People who wish to challenge a benefit decision will no longer be allowed to lodge an appeal immediately. Instead, the government introduced mandatory revision or review stage, during which a different Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) decision maker will reconsider the original decision and the evidence and, if necessary, send for more information.

Many of us have campaigned since 2012 to raise awareness of Clause 99. During the Consultation period, I wrote a set of responses to the government’s proposals, which many people used as a template for their own responses.  I remember that we ALL RAISED THE SAME CONCERNS.

In summary, the main concerns were that basic rate ESA was to be withdrawn during the mandatory review period, leaving sick and disabled people with no money to…

When I first saw this video of UKIP’s agriculture spokesman Stuart Agnew MEP claiming that decarbonisation will deprive plants of carbon dioxide – I honestly thought it was a spoof.

But no – it’s the UKIP.

Hard to know where to start when it comes to explaining just how ignorant these comments are.

So better just let you see for yourself:

For me, the most disturbing thing is that the video was posted by the UKIP itself.

Presumably they must be actually really very proud of their stupidity.

I thought I was seeing things when Cameron appeared on BBC News supporting Jeremy Clarkson, saying how much his children would miss him if he had to leave Top Gear as a result of “the incident”.

Personally, I think Top Gear is a waste of licence payer fees … middle aged men in badly fitting jeans, who despite their high salaries, don’t seem to spend much of it on haircuts or grooming, endorsing petrol guzzling vehicles (Kyoto agreement anyone?)  http://unfccc.int/kyoto_protocol/items/2830.php

Anyway,  I just turn over to one of the other channels if there is a cack BBC programme on the TV.

Obviously I was not present when “the incident” took place, but it is reported that Clarkson assaulted a producer because no food was available…

Imagine for a moment, if you will, being in your place of work and a colleague assaults you. The police would be called… your…

Disabled travellers are deterred from taking the train by poorly trained staff, confusion over booking requirements and inaccessible stations, according to a charity, which says targets to provide accessible trains could be rendered meaningless.

Only one in five train stations in England is fully accessible, research by the Papworth Trust found, while two-thirds of disabled people say the need to book assistance rather than turn up and go means they use trains less than they otherwise would.

The charity found that one in five disabled passengers was not aware that additional help, through a service called Passenger Assist, was available, while one in six had been mistakenly told by rail staff that advance booking was essential for them to travel on a train.

Only 404 stations out of 1,967 in England are fully accessible, according to train operators’ own assessment of their provision of four basic requirements – step-free access…
