Once had sautéed pigeon breast at a fancy restaurant in Paris and it was one of the best dining experiences of my life, a most under-rated form of poultry/game whatever you're supposed to call it, remarkable really considering how numerous they are and presumably easy to raise (I'm guessing it's their small size that prevents them being the staple food they were in days gone by).

Ate Pigeon two ways as a starter at Hu Tong restaurant in Hong Kong. Cold, salted white meat and hot spiced red meat. It was absolutely outstanding. Also ate it with this view: Looks back across the bay at all the Hong Kong skyscrapers. My favourite dining experience by a long way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous but they're both at it. No, I was on about the audience's reaction to points against privatisation/outsourcing/tory handling of the NHS/tory handing of carillion.

Momentum have no power on their own. The left has the support of the majority of labour members hence the fact the MEMBERS - not momentum - have voted for momentum backed candidates for internal positions. It's democracy in action for labour members to select candidates based on their beliefs. Surely you believe in voters taking back control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows about the “list”? Who is the MP who knows about the “list”? Strange times when what you claim is the best paper in Britain has run out of journalists. Maybe we should get our news from Facebook after all. Edited 21 January 2018 by Sharpe's Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's democracy in action for labour members to select candidates. Sorry but this is so delusional I don't even know what to say, to claim Momentum has no power after the results of the NEC election last week is beyond laughable. Of course it's the members who'll decide the candidates, no one I don't think is denying that. That's the perfect way to pull off the deselections. 25 minutes ago, Sharpe's Fox said: Also just a reminder folks that only one side of the house calls for their colleagues to be deselected in a public domain, and it ain’t the opposition side At least she was honest.
