I've got t'telly on for the live dabate and I'm currently counting about a dozen labour MP's in the chamber, with a few more Ulster Unionists sat further along. There appears to be about 50 or 60 Tories on their back benches. It's been like that for most of this afternoon and this evening. From what I've heard of the debates, the pro-ref's have absolutely thrashed the opposition....but the vote has yet to come. So watch what happens in the next hour as the bars within Westminister empty and they all pile in to defeat the motion.

If this reminds me of 'owt, it is of the scenes in Tripoli 6 months ago when the Bengazi boys rose up and the Mad Dog let loose his troops and ordered his supporting mob on to the streets with a few subtle treats. For Gaddafi and his family, read Cameron, Clegg & Milliband; for his mob and hired mercenaries, read those spineless backbenchers.

I think I'll emigrate to Libya - they know more about democracy there than the rotten, corrupt regime which masquerades as a democratic government here. And of course, they're not a member of the EU.
