Glad he is stepping down just hope the truth comes out in all the investigations and FIFA and football can move on. I see it two ways at the moment 1) He knew and or took part in corruption 2) He didn’t know and was despite being in the job so long essentially useless and not in control. Either way he has to go.

Great set of photos Anna, I hadn’t really thought of models shows until last year when Biggin Hill had some in the Festival of Flight show. What camera and lens did you use?

The more you look at it or think about it our voting system in the UK is not logical. Firstly I am not going to bash the Conservatives for winning, although I feel that is ultimately awful for the country as they will be a weak majority government open to attack from their own rebels with the opposition parties leaderless and needing to rebuild. That can never be a good thing and shows what a crazy political system we have.

Surely this system can be changed, and a Government formed in proportional representation way rather than first past the post.
For example
• Scottish National Party won 56 seats with total voters across the country of 1,454,43
• Liberal Democrats won 8 seats with total voters in Scotland of 2,415,888
• UKIP won one seat with total with total voters across the country of 3,881,129
• The Green party also won one seat but had total voters of 1,157,613
• Social Democrat and Labour Party have 3 seats but only have a total of 99,809 voters
There are many other odd things like this across the results even the Conservative and Labour figures don’t really add up
• Conservatives 331 Seats for 11,334,920 voters
• Labour 232 seats for 9,347,326 voters

No matter what way you look at it, that is not 99 extra seats worth of voters, although I agree it’s a clear winning margin and If Westminster was to have a government filled proportionally they would still be the lead party
It’s also worrying when you see that only 66.1% of voting population voted, I have become so fed up with the way things are that I chose to go along and vote but spolit my paper with the “Words none of the above” . It did not fill me with any joy doing this, but it is the only way I can be heard, I was not against any of the local candidates in particular, but had issues with the leaders of the parties they represented.

I truly want to see voting made a legal obligation, with the option of “None of the above” on ballot papers. I would also like to see manifestos made law so if any Government is failing to do as promised it will need go to a new election. I am glad to see the Conservatives will give us a referendum on Europe, but I really wish we could get a referendum on the voting system that makes it more simple and fairer to all.

I know it sounds a little like a rant, but I honestly feel that this election more than any other has shown how broken the voting system is, we need get people to vote, be part and challenge the system. But people now think votes don’t count and nothing changes, I fear next five years will see a lot of unrest and protest in the country and people are growing tired of how out of touch all the main parties are with reality. It’s a mess no matter who got in, and if we are going to get another 5 years of bickering it will never change,

Grew up with Keith Harris and various furry things attached to his arm on TV in the 70’s and 80’s. Although he did used to get on my nerves at times, I can not deny he was a great talent and one of the few from the 1970’s not to have been tarnished with some sort of scandal.

She looks stunning, I hope like many of the other Aircraft from Chino we will see her in the UK someday soon.

I honestly feel with Clarkson he has become to believe all the hype around him and lost touch with reality. I agree that we all get frustrated but personally I feel if he did hit anyone in the situation described that is common assault. As such if guilty he deserves to lose his job, I would only feel differently if it was in self defence.
I used to like Top Gear, but now find Clarkson and Hammond very, very irritating and see James May as the only one who really has a passion for what he does and a true love of cars and aircraft. All 3 i’m sure will be on TV again soon, probably for Sky or Channel 5 should the BBC sack Clarkson.

It would be nice to think all 3 could come out of this a bit more humble and far less cocky, but I don’t hold too many hopes.

Thats great thanks Anna, its not too often you get the chance to see US navy ships over here recently so don’t want to miss this chance.
