Benedict Spence is sitting in for Peter Cardwell on Talk TV this evening. In the spirit of Mow-vember, he is growing a moustache. He is beginning to look like a retired colonel from an Agatha Christie novel and we all know what happens to them. I would advise him to keep away from the vicarage!

Take a look! 📌 pin.it/7j7OdKNeG via @pinterest Piddington tablets empty the chamber.

Harry repeating the same old grievances. Meanwhile, KCIII and Q Camilla open the new session of the Welsh senedd and pay their respects at Aberfan for the 50th anniversary of the disaster which took the lives of 116 children and 28 adults as it engulfed Pantglas Junior School. As a small child, I saw the TV coverage when it was reported that, when the bodies were dug out of the coal slag landslide, a teacher was found under a flight of stairs with his arms around a group of four little children. They were all dead.

If only someone would invent the Open Textbook Library. Oh, wait . . .

In 1914, my grandfather and his school mates rushed to sign up to serve in the armed forces. Many were turned away as they were under-age. My grandfather was finally accepted at the age of 16 and he served fitting out midget submarines in Portsmouth, as he was short in height and had small hands. Then in 1918 he helped set up dashboards (I'm sure that's no the right word) in Sopwith Camels. I understand that was a plane, not an animal. Many of his school friends went to the Somme and never came back.

As contributor AmimeJ has blocked me from replying to their post, I will do it here. The information they gave about behaviour of the anti-immigrant protestors was not known to me. If the accusations of the protestors wishing ill upon the police officers' children are true, it would indeed be a disgrace. It was not on any channel or recorded by citizen journalists, that I saw. However, if these events are available on video, I would encourage AmimeJ to upload it so we can all get a balanced view of the demonstration.

I do apologise for my choice of art on my reply to Ms Rees-Mogg. I did not realise it depicted people of a certain ethnic and religious heritage until later. That was certainly not my intention. I merely wished to draw attention to the Bible verse from Matthew 15 "The blind leading the blind".

Earlier today in Parliament, an immigration minister (Sarah Jones?) repeated the party line of calling Danny Tommo's 'gentlemen in waiting' thugs. The rest of the speech was the usual banal drivel but her jacket gave me a migraine. I cannot account for the state of it but she may have been walking through the lobby and someone, who had recently been drinking Ribena, unexpectedly vomited over it.

I wish to correct my comment about Danny Tommo's 'Gentlemen in Waiting'. I wrongly thought that Lauren the Insider was referring to them. I now understand that she was referring to the people who showed up to the Reform party conference. Organised anonymous groups should always be discouraged until their intentions and identity can be verified.

Between 1066-1886 the Normans rated every home, mule and chicken in the kingdom for tax purposes which was then published in the Domesday Book. Now, under Burnham's new policy, canny citizens who bought a house at a low price in an unfashionable area, are being penalised. They had no part in the gentrification of their postcode. Ask the people who bought their council houses in places like Hampstead: have they got a few thousand handy to pay the mansion tax?
