BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Soham murderer Ian Huntley is dead. Attacked in prison.
No one will mourn him, but prison should be a safe place. This is a major failure.

Im sure some of you liberal lefties can spin a reason why he was freedom warrior jailed for a misjustice.

You managed it over Floyd

I suspect that he was a target from day 1. Surprised it took this long for a serious attack.

He had been attacked before. Throat slashed.
The guy who attacked his this time is also a child killer on a full life term. So absolutely no hero.

Hardly a surprise that a place full of the county’s worst criminals isn’t safe.

Very true. If Huntley's death can be justified, so can his killer's, given his previous crimes.

Fair. But be honest, he was a target.

This is cool: you can get lots of data about any constituency in bar chart form. There's probably a lot more functionality too, but I've not explored yet.

An interesting article centred on the profitability of sheep farming, but also touching on ecology, cattle, subsidies (of course) and why Muslims might keep sheep farming in the UK going... worth a read, whatever your perspective.

Neither link has my constituency. Have I been disenfranchised?

If you were searching for the name, maybe try clicking around on the map in the right area, and see if it's been given an alternative or faulty name?

The political genius who thought a Celtic v Rangers match in Belfast would be PR boost the GFA 1998 'Yes' campaign needed...

Was that Alastair Campbell, per chance?

The map only shows 50 Scottish constituencies.
But tories down from 5 to 3, that's a win!

One for the crap maps thread.
