When UKIP had three times more people who voted for them than the SNP and only end up with one person representing them in house of commons you know the UK needs electoral reform

My new leader predictions Tristram Hunt new Labour leader Suzanne Evans new UKIP leader Lib dems .....Who cares

Ahh Benj Rosser putting up one of Danters rides This really worries me... May Fair Blocks 1.jpg

I have and always will support as many shops in the City as I can and that includes the OLM. It's not about chain stores Adrian it's about supporting local people who work in them

Was down there today.Nice to see there will soon be just two empty shops in Widemarsh Street when just over 12 months ago there was seven. On the OLM there is one empty unit next to Costa and one of the three small cabins.One has opened today as a hairdressers. There are two empty units facing Newmarket Street that are non retail.

You could always go to the Coffee cart on the OLM.They have very nice home made ice cream too.

Will be there Saturday.Is Anthony the tall guy?

I'm sure the timing of lights has been tweaked as the last couple of times I have visited they were on much longer than usual

It's been a sham the last 20 years since it was installed. http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/12920473.Hereford_traffic_lights__out_of_sync__/?ref=rss&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

And something to make you smile

Agree but it goes right through the Lugg Meadows and that will never happen

Something to make your P**s boil http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02q3k6w

We have this system installed in the City and Herefordshire Council pay something like £22,000 a year for its upkeep. http://www.scoot-utc.com/DetailedHowSCOOTWorks.php It's not working

An unlikely Twitter phenomenon and an illiterate Conservative candidate have combined to propel Labour fifteen points clear in the latest YouGov poll. What started as an innocent teenage crush on would-be PM Ed Miliband, quickly gained support on Twitter, as a legion of young Miliband admirers, dubbed Milifans, admired the Labour leader’s sultry good looks. Within a few hours, however, a more sexually charged tone crept in. Sixteen-year-old Carly from Canvey Island tweeted ‘He’s well lush, and I bet he’d be gentle too’, while Bekki, 15, told the world she would ‘do anyting to feel dem Milihands on my booty’. Disgusted Tory candidate John Grant took to Twitter using the hashtag #MilibandlovesMiners, tweeting ‘See how Miliband loves the miners – he can’t get enough of the dirty urchins’, following it up a minute later with ‘Vote Conservative to stop miners procreating’. Speaking to BBC Wales, Bryn Jones of the South Wales Miners Federation said: ‘It’s despicable – we get labelled as all sorts, and granted we’re a bit grubby behind the ears, but for the Conservatives to suggest we shouldn’t have any more nookie – well, I’m shocked. Most of us are on income support, if it wasn’t for the Dirty Dragon and its rock bottom prices our community would fall apart. Thank goodness Ed Miliband is on our sideâ€. As news of the Tories’ apparent anti-miner’ stance spread, voters quickly came out in support of Labour, causing an unprecedented swing to the left in the latest YouGov poll. Others, however, were quick to see the funny side. Dafydd, 68, tweeted ‘I love you too Ed. You have lovely eyes, dark and brooding – like coal’ while Stanley, 47, wrote ‘Handsome Ed, you have a lovely (coal)face, I’d love to make you mine’. Keen to keep the momentum going in the build up to the election , Labour have begun filming a variation of a hit Channel Four show. ‘Come Mine With Me’ will screen at 8 p.m. on 2 May and will show Ed Miliband going to various mining communities across the UK to experience how the closing down of the mines has reduced accidents, improved safety and ended long working hours once and for all.

Me,Love Costa,Zizi Prezzo & the Cinema.River Island & Debenhams. Pandora has cost me a bloody fortune.

I have heard there is to be one installed very soon.

Agree.The number of people coming and going from the OLM especially on weekends is staggering,Widemarsh Street is by far the busiest street in town. On another note,whilst having coffee outside Costa I always have a rant to the missus about cars doing way in excess of 30mph when the speed limit is 20.

I found an apt sign

Oooo I Iove a nice muffin and so does my wife

Good grief,that's a face only a mother could love

I'm going for a bike ride through town later so will find out

Oh come on Ubique,you seriously think Hereford is the only part of the UK with empty shops.

Police are investigating a Tory MP over claims he attempted to bribe voters with chocolate cake. Jesse Norman allegedly gave out cake while campaigning for re-election at an Asda supermarket in his Hereford constituency. West Mercia Police last night said it was investigating reports of a breach of the Representation of the People Act 1983, which bans Election candidates from providing food, drink or entertainment in a bid to win votes. Detectives are expected to speak to Mr Norman after he was photographed with trays of baked goods on April 2. He described the allegations as ‘nonsense’, saying: ‘We had a couple of small boxes of chocolate muffins ... we may have given out one or two to children, who are not even voters.’ The probe follows would-be Ukip MP Kim Rose, who is standing in Southampton Itchen, being grilled by police for giving out sausage rolls at a party event earlier this year. The 57-year-old has criticised the 'absolutely ridiculous' investigation after he was told he will face no further action. Mr Rose said: 'The officers told me today that I have now entered the political world and I must no longer hand out sausage rolls. 'They told me I have got to watch anything I do. So I'm going to stay away from bakeries from now on - if I see one I'm going to run a mile.'

Nigel Farage has slammed the Large Hadron Collider for taking two years off work then coming back online to ‘deliberately introduce dark matter into an already crowded Universe’. The UKIP leader has long highlighted quantum immigration as an ‘explosive issue’ for the general election. ‘Frankly we just don’t have the infrastructure to assimilate all these new particles’, Farage raged, taking an earnest boggle-eyed bantam stance. ‘It has been openly admitted that we don’t really know where all these ‘exotic particles’ originate and we know far less about their skills and employment records. How do we know that the minute these particles are created, they won’t go straight on benefits?’ Farage pointed out that the last time the Collider worked, or as he put it ‘engaged in particle trafficking’, particles appeared that no-one ever heard of and that seemed to be in a state of rapid decay on arrival. He added: ‘How do we know that the NHS of the future can cope with an influx of negative, unstable particles, with no tangible financial contribution?’ Likening the Large Hadron Collider to a ‘bastard child of the Channel Tunnel and a big revolving door’, the UKIP leader expressed concerns that it would punch a black hole into the finances of the EU, leaving the hard-pressed British taxpayer to foot the bill, yet again. At this point, he was greeted with a round of sustained applause by a leading British taxpayer, identified unofficially as Joe Muggins, 38, from Billericay. ‘We want assurances that the Collider will put British particles first and prevent positive discrimination in favour of foreign and untrustworthy ‘dark matter’,’ the UKIP leader concluded. ‘An influx of this sort of thing could destabilise Britain and all the other bits of the Universe we are less bothered about. We already have incipient riots every time floppy-haired, slappable physicists hijack our televisions to use language such as ‘Quark’ and ‘God Particle’. Things can only get worse.’
