Home Nations prejudice corner

BONG! "No negotiating with Taliban" says Brown, who's also busy not negotiating with policemen and Mediterranean types who are hawking around a treaty-thingy.

BONG! The police may strike. Yorkshire miners currently offering their services to government as replacement cover if needed.

BONG! The public has spoken. The £50 million Big Lottery Fund award will go to a cycling and walking scheme in Wales. Insert obvious London-centric "they don't have cars over there" gag here.

BONG! New Scottish Social Attitudes Survey finds that one-third of Scots have a prejudice towards someone and think that's OK. Remaining two-thirds of Scots were either too drunk, too busy eating deep-fried Mars bars, too busy buying comedy tamoshanters or too high on smack to complete survey. Oh, and too busy reneging on campaign pledges.

BONG! MOD is sitting on 8,200 empty homes. Has anyone told David Abrahams?

BONG! British UN official found dead on a Vienna park bench. Hard drinking suspected, Harry Lime not thought to be involved.

BONG! Did Alex Salmond improperly use a government limo to meet Donald Trump? And are pictures of them together scarier than a date with Ann Widdecombe in a Gordon Ramsay restaurant?
