Apparently Downing Street is Grade I listed so Milliband's pledge to install his pledge stone in the garden may not be too easy to keep. 
If Miliband erects his pillar in the Rose Garden he may be sent to prison

IANAL. But that sounds like a lot of bollocks.
Sadly, it's much more likely that Cameron and Clegg will get another five years and that Miliband will end up with a brand new and rather impressive limestone work surface in one of his kitchens.
How exactly? Load of old bollocks.
And people are entitled to protest if they want to. And given the amount of coverage given to Jim Bloody Murphy and the egg throwing, it likely was a minor incident. Surely of more interest is the leader of Labour in Scotland, in *Glasgow* FFS getting that kind of reception. And easy to say it was nationalists -- could be pretty much anyone tbh.

People counter demonstrated stuff all the time. It's indicative of how dull this election has been that he felt the need to scamper away when the people their didn't agree with him.
Politicians only seem to talk to invited audiences nowadays.
given the polling figures, 2-1 it was the nats tho
And fair play to them.
Depends what you mean by nats I guess -- people voting SNP are not necessarily nationalists and there are plenty of people who are't voting SNP who hate Murphy/Labour.

This is why the Tories only ever appear in stage-managed factory settings, with workers made to stand there in respectful silence under threat of discipline. I'd love to see George Osborne try and stand up in public in Glasgow. It'd be more than eggs.

Large groups of voters scare them without the threat of a P45 to keep them in line.
Good luck to the SNP, I do remember Labour teasing the Tories when they were all but killed off in Scotland ... karma...

Which of the vague "promises" is she worried they won't be able to deliver?

My local labour council has obtained an injunction against homeless people using the central library following a protest camp set up by homeless people outside the town hall/library.
A few months ago a group of homeless young people from the place i volunteer went down to anti G4S demo at the townhall. A labour party rally was taking place, so they went to heckle the speakers about welfare reform. They were quickly encircled by labour party supports who chanted scum at them.

Ah the campaigning student Ed Miliband:
"These rent increases are wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on. Students and the university have been let down by both sides because landlords have acted in a reckless and provocative manner. After the latest rent increases, I would urge both sides to put aside the rhetoric, get round the negotiating table and stop it happening again."

be interesting to see how my dad's constituency labour candidate does today, my dad (and two others) had been suspended on completely false charges so that they couldn't stand for selection in the locals to make sure the preferred ones (professionals, managers, solicitors, none of these awful working class trade union types!) got the plum wards. anyway turns out my dad is one of signatures on the branch cheque book and he refused to let them have the two grand in the account to use for campaigning. he's also refused to campaign for them (as have a dozen or so others in the local party - seems solidarity does still exist!) which probably means lots of leaflets have gone undelivered and there won't be much knocking up going on tonight.

Good riddance. Twat. Mind you, they'll probably go whoring after someone from Dragon's Den now.

Balltyne. The bluff scottish one. Meaden and Jones bleed tory.

Yes, you're right, a policy sinecure for a Scot would send a good message. How about Pocket and Sweet? They are retail entrepreneurs from Balamory, and would signal to a younger generation that Labour supports their aspirations.

is boris johnson being bought off with a role in cabinet? the headlines suggest it but the text says he's just attending a meeting. Fucking journos.

Exasperated, not angry.
not while he's still mayor of some city or other, it'd look too much like taking the piss
