Well, this must be a bargain - NOT! Yet again, they are offering "up
to £20 off". I must get at least 3 a week from them. Never, EVER pay the
full price as there is always a "never to be repeated" special
deal.
Yes, this IS the place to go for secondhand books, but why treat us
as idiots?

Police and Crime Commissioner Elections
On May 5th we have elections locally for a new Police and Crime Commissioner. I have received no postal correspondence, haven't a clue who holds the post currently, and frankly don't care. I shall not vote as I feel I have no data on which to base my choice. What a shambles! The sad thing is this probably cost us all millions.

President Obama and the EU referendum
In the UK referendum I am likely to vote "IN" to remain in the EU but
I get saddened by all the negativity and "spin" on both sides in this
debate. The intervention by the current US president Obama does little
good.
We have not had a trade deal with the US before and who is likely to benefit? Well, the USA of course.
Mr Obama, your intervention, although possibly well meant, is probably going to encourage people to vote "OUT".
It is fine to have an opinion (like I am amazed by the support in the USA for Mr Trump) but if you were in the EU Mr President you would not want the centralism in Brussels. The EU needs to change and the UK is better in there shaping it in my view.
Your intervention is likely to backfire Mr Obama and is not helpful I am afraid.
UPDATE 2200z: President Obama is quoted as having said that a trade deal with the USA could take "up to 10 years if we left the EU". Should we be voting to leave then?

Britain and the EU
Just watched
the second Nick Robinson BBC2 programme about Britain and the EU. Some
decent information in this series. If you are looking for real
information,and NOT spin, I suggest you watch this on iPlayer or
Catch-up if you can.
