    no way.

    Another tier of govt with no 'new' powers and no real authority except to make up grandiose schemes that waste our money.</p>

    We're over governed as it is.</p>

    RE: no way.

    If they had real powers along the lines of the Scottish and Welsh assemblies?

    If you mean an English assembly in the same way as Scotland, then I can see the argument for that, but not regional ones within England (e.g. a Yorkshire assembly)

    I have a point to make:

    I once saw a lad piss himself in assembly at school.
    He then asked for his Mum.
    He was about 12 at the time.

    I must also point out that it wasn't me.
    The lad was a ginner - so he probably deserved it, or summat.

    Depends on the powers allowed to the organisation. Perhaps real democracy is to be found at a more local level.

    It is worrying re the Nationalists being in power in Scotland though and their stated aim to break up the union

    Interesting.

    This sounds like the plot from Star Wars.

    I liked the big furry bear thing.

    Aye.

    I like big bears who try to break the union on Endor.
    With Neil Kinnock, in wet trousers, running about with an orange light sabre.

    I can't get to the Southampton game.
    There are no hotel rooms.
    They've all been taken by boats, or summat.

    There are Regional Assemblies

    Trouble is they are unelected.

    it's the South ffs, you don't need a hotel, you can sleep on the beach under the palm trees, drinking cocktails and looking at the big dipper (which is upside down this side of Watford).

    Spend all night looking at big dippers.
    Enough said.

    Anyway - Southampton, Portsmouth & Brighton are gay.
    You can't buy a house there unless your anus has been officially prolapsed by big black men.

    RE: There are Regional Assemblies

    Sorry, mate.
    We are talking about people pissing their trousers.
    There's no room for sense here.

    Dirk knows something about Elections.
    Their lass says he's going to see some specialists about his election issues.

    She's obviously Chinese.
