If I vote for what I believe in and many others do then even without MP's or just a couple that party and it's policies can influence whoever the government is - UKIP in 2014-2016 shows this does happen. If I vote for any of the main three parties I am voting for many policies I very much do not agree with and if my views are aligned to any one of the three closer it might just be the Lib Dems (but that is by a small fraction over Labour and the Tories fall a distant last with the only policy I like being the smoking one.). There are simply too many policies that I do not agree with from all 3 and so, for me, and lots of others I know voting for who comes closest to our views is the right vote as even if it is 'wasted' then so too is a vote for things I simply do not support. Hopefully that all makes sense............................ PS If/when Labour win I sincerely hope they crack on and sort out the mess the UK is in, I would just prefer it to be with help from the other parties who tend to be more 'radical' than Labour.

So one that lasted the full 5 year term and another that only collapsed because because members of the main party (ie Johnson and friends) bought it down from within because of Brexit. So no real evidence that hung parliaments do not last long.

You wonder what else Moyes could of done at West ham to keep his job. Fighting relegation when he took over, gets them a trophy and the team is probably sat where they should be looking at the ones above them. Thursday night matches always seem to be a curse for the mid band clubs who manage to break into the european places.

The thingy is now an influencer 😀

Great stuff - happy to contribute as well Can I make a suggestion of a column for Genre/Description and Similar to?

I got a code but won't be using it so if you send me a message, you can have it.

I also want a large labour majority but to answer your question. Voting for a small Labour majority is the same as voting for a coalition. You can't predict which you will get. There is not much danger if the main Labour alternative is not Tory. By the way the 1970s is evidence coalitions can survive. The Lib-Lab pact kept Callaghan in Govt for a couple of years.

Haven't been many hung parliaments since 70s has there? Only 2010 and 2017. I'm not suggesting you do anything, couldn't give a flying f**k. But pink triangle was just saying a small majority labour govt could be more progressive than a hung parliament, because left wing labour MPs.

Spectacular work - what a start! Ben

Damn!

i think this is exactly what's happened

ISLAND with an introductory chat with John Peel. @dondo Bruce was brilliant. A 12 out of 10 concert. Superb band, great sound and excellent lighting. A masterclass in how to do it. Three hours plus on stage and scarily he's three months older than me.

Great thread. On the topic of checking names, do you think they would do this when it's your name on the door (no actual ticket)? It's The Looking Glass Cocktail Club in London. I guess they ask for ID if you look too young but not sure about guestlists.

It feels like they've looked at The Thingy, and thought "what can we do to really f**k with this?"

It's rained every day in Buckinghamshire, bar Saturday. Which was still sh*t

Last year Mawaan managed to stretch to a band, dancers, and a couple of leaf blowers

It's not 4 nights it's 5, now having been very lucky enough to stay in some of the best hotels in the world let me tell you, the difference between 4 and 5 nights can be eyewatering! The author of that article clearly didn't get tickets and as such has just written a hatchet piece full of bullshit! I was in Ibiza in '95 and it was £10 a bottle for beer and £15 for water then!!!!! you aint doing Ibiza on £360! Utter dross which has boiled my piss!

Right Team, I've made a start on the big excel spreadsheet. I won't have time to do every stage this year, so I've made this editable for anyone who would like to give a helping hand and contribute. I reckon between us we can cover it! Here's the link...... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MAURVZfABJD3RD0rSlQuKb0KkPwjxcpy/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102654520778015346586&rtpof=true&sd=true 1. Tabs at the bottom for each different stage 2. I've added Youtube sets, but if someone wants to add in Soundcloud or Mixcloud sets as well, then all good 3. Please don't erase any sets that have been added, if you want to add another set for an artist, just whack it in the next column along Thanks Ravers!!

Nothing...

Last week US and UK were describing the proposed ceasefire in terms of Isreal making concessions. Cameron said Isreal had made a generous offer. This lets them blame Hamas for any breakdown in talks and Isreali move into Rafah.

The telegraph is actually very useful at the festival. A single page in the long drop is extremely absorbent as long as you don’t mind Nigel Farages face imprinted on your arse. 😉

Check your spam 😉

Is there being no pattern not a pattern in itself?

Firstly please provide tour evidence for 'hung parliaments often don't last' as I am sure you would want me to prove it (and something from the 1970's is not relevant in 2024. Same question to you that I posed to them - how do I go about getting that small Labour majority with my vote without me and others who do whatever it is you suggest ending up giving Labour a huge majority and thus wasting my vote.

I would assume you'd have EP on after Diplo, so likely correct, but the website isn't usually a reliable indicator as to when each act will be on, it's usually misleading and has no pattern from over the years. I'm still wondering when the final acts will be announced, there is apparently a major artist still to come, I'm not sure who though.
