Check the rules. Are you betting on when Boris announces he will step down, or is it when he is formally replaced? Then add a fudge factor because Betfair could settle it based on what colour tie he is wearing; Betfair has form!
At odds of 90 or even 200 on betfair laying 2021 makes sense. The only way Boris leaves office in 2021 is via a fatal heart attack.
He's a fat muscular old fck, with Xmas dinner to come. I wouldn't be laying the heart attack.
Genes tho. His dad, who he increasingly resembles, is still hale and hearty and tippling wine and slapping female arses in his early 80s. They both have that stocky, enduring, prop forward physique. It can take a lot of punishment
Thank God there is no question of heavy cocaine use, that can really fck your heart.
I have no personal knowledge of this, but I would lay odds that Boris does not do a lot of ‘ooter
Petronella in the speccie says Carrie and cohort party like fck in no 10 while Bojo is the grumpy old man in the corner. My guess is it gets pressed on him.
Yes, I believe all that, and I believe he refuses the chang
More wine? Sure
There are few 50-somethings who actively enjoy cocaine
Tbh, there's not a lot of 30 somethings that do either. At least judging by my own friends who are all mid or late 30s, I think we're more likely to go down the party drug route like mandy or 2cp rather than something that just makes everyone cunty like coke.
The other thing that's been putting people off is the reports that party drugs are being laced with fentanyl to get people addicted. The guy we bought from has ended up in jail and now we don't have anyone who we trust to not fuck us over. We really need to legalise it.
Or you could just try not taking drugs?
Why?
You said that you are concerned about the stuff being spiked with something nasty. The way to eliminate the risk is abstinence.
Just like the way to avoid pregnancy is abstinence?

Or buy from a legal source, as though we have stopped since our trusted dealer wound up in jail.
Totally puzzled by the respect for Jeremy Junior-Doctors / Pandemic-Preparedness-Plan Hunt.
Also he comes across as a weirdo on camera.
He has no chance at all. If he makes the final two he will handily lose to whoever he faces. He won’t make the final two.
He made the final two last time.
He mismanaged the junior doctors strike, but was smart enough to learn his lesson and kicked the Consultant contract into the long grass.
One of the legacies of that strike is a contract so Byzantine in terms of what is permitted to keep below the limits on hours that any Omicron absences are going to be very hard to cover in the next few weeks.
Over all though he wasn't a bad Heath Secretary. There have been a dozen worse in my lifetime.
Remember though that Health is a career ending cabinet job. None has gone on to be PM since the NHS started.
A lot of liberals find the ruthlessness that Tories display towards their leaders unseemly. Personally I think it's one of their redeeming qualities. They don't muck about. None of the sentimentality of Labour. The country (party?) always comes before any one individual.

I think it a reflection on Johnson that someone as historically inept as Hunt is now seen as a safe pair of hands. He is quite dull too. He was in the seat Infront of me on an ANA flight from Tokyo whilst still FS.
P.S. A man of the people, he and his family flew in the back with the hoi poloi.
Saw Biden's Omicron press conference and what a contrast to our failed leaders on this side of the pond.
He was calm, measured, reasonable.
Emphasising the importance of vaccines, without sparking panic; emphasising in a calm voice that this is not March last year and that there's no reason to panic, just to be sensible. Activating FEMA to help capacity in hospitals, ambulances and vaccination centres. As far as I saw not a single hint of restrictions or any other nonsense. He was genuinely "Presidential".
The problem on this side of the pond is leaders have got hooked on trying to manage the demand side of healthcare, instead of taking the supply side on as their responsibility which is what Biden was doing with FEMA.
What a difference a genuine leader is over there. Far better than the clown in Downing Street who seems to be scared of his own shadow now yet is himself infinitely better than the even worse fools in the devolved governments or on the opposition bench.
I don't like him much, and he gets mocked here a lot, and he was just acceptable under the circumstances, but what a shame we don't have a single leader in any party it seems in this country of the caliber of Biden.
Our scientists and politicians need to be firmly told the time for managing the demand side of healthcare via restrictions is over and that their job now is to handle the supply side, like America is doing. If Whitty or Vallance can't live with that, they should resign or be fired.

Speaking purely hypothetically, I cannot see Carrie absolutely battering the chang and then coming up with policies like "let's save a load of dogs and cats from Kabul."
Mandy? Yes. Wizz? Well, it can give you a bee in your bonnet about stuff.
Animal rescue policy made in the afterglow of an acid trip? Quite possibly. And look at that taste in decor. It screams comfy corner to K-hole in.
But I cannot imagine Downing Street to be wall to wall nose candy. Unless Gove shows up of course, then all bets are off
The dog and cat thing was because she is a brainless racist cnt. Hitler did meth, but that isn't what made him Hitler.
I’m now interpreting all your posting through the lexicon of Hunter S Thompson.

Yes, @ydoethur has agreed, the last Minister of Health to get the top job was Neville Chamberlain.

I know him a bit, we've chatted half a dozen times (he's my local MP). Smart, practiced retail operator, handles awkward questions smoothly, writes an informative blog with a joke at the end to keep you reading. Intelligent but unexciting - makes Starmer sound like a populist in comparison. Certainly very different from Johnson, if that's what the Tories want, but I think ultimately too quietly intellectual for them.

You're a lockdown guy, right?
Before vaccines came along I was very much in favour of strong preventative measures. These days, I think we should trust in the efficacy of the vaccines.
How we deal with the anti-vaxxers is another matter. Either lock them down or dart guns.

Genes tho. His dad, who he increasingly resembles, is still hale and hearty and tippling wine and slapping female arses in his early 80s. They both have that stocky, enduring, prop forward physique. It can take a lot of punishment
Thank God there is no question of heavy cocaine use, that can really fck your heart.
I have no personal knowledge of this, but I would lay odds that Boris does not do a lot of ‘ooter
Petronella in the speccie says Carrie and cohort party like fck in no 10 while Bojo is the grumpy old man in the corner. My guess is it gets pressed on him.
Yes, I believe all that, and I believe he refuses the chang
More wine? Sure
There are few 50-somethings who actively enjoy cocaine
Tbh, there's not a lot of 30 somethings that do either. At least judging by my own friends who are all mid or late 30s, I think we're more likely to go down the party drug route like mandy or 2cp rather than something that just makes everyone cunty like coke.
The other thing that's been putting people off is the reports that party drugs are being laced with fentanyl to get people addicted. The guy we bought from has ended up in jail and now we don't have anyone who we trust to not fuck us over. We really need to legalise it.
Or you could just try not taking drugs?
Why?
You said that you are concerned about the stuff being spiked with something nasty. The way to eliminate the risk is abstinence.
You're a lockdown guy, right?
Before vaccines came along I was very much in favour of strong preventative measures. These days, I think we should trust in the efficacy of the vaccines.
How we deal with the anti-vaxxers is another matter. Either lock them down or dart guns.
I like that idea of dart guns. What about a bounty on the most evasive?
Totally puzzled by the respect for Jeremy Junior-Doctors / Pandemic-Preparedness-Plan Hunt.
Also he comes across as a weirdo on camera.
He has no chance at all. If he makes the final two he will handily lose to whoever he faces. He won’t make the final two.
He made the final two last time.
He mismanaged the junior doctors strike, but was smart enough to learn his lesson and kicked the Consultant contract into the long grass.
One of the legacies of that strike is a contract so Byzantine in terms of what is permitted to keep below the limits on hours that any Omicron absences are going to be very hard to cover in the next few weeks.
Over all though he wasn't a bad Heath Secretary. There have been a dozen worse in my lifetime.
Remember though that Health is a career ending cabinet job. None has gone on to be PM since the NHS started.
I think it a reflection on Johnson that someone as historically inept as Hunt is now seen as a safe pair of hands. He is quite dull too. He was in the seat Infront of me on an ANA flight from Tokyo whilst still FS.
P.S. A man of the people, he and his family flew in the back with the hoi poloi.
I don't think him that inept, indeed he was our best Foreign Secretary in a very long time.
OK, so many years ago, there was either an advert or a trailer for a TV program, featuring a Scottish footy manager who said, "I don't drink, I don't smoke. I don't do anything that's bad for me." But I can't remember who it was!

Fentanyl is fucking lovely stuff, though. That is not a stab at edginess, I get it off the NHS while they are sticking cameras up my arse. Mad for it I am.
I had that done once, but they never invited me to make a series.
Pulp Fiction ... when they shot the pilot they found a stage 3 and a bit out of 4 thang, so they like to keep looking.

I know him a bit, we've chatted half a dozen times (he's my local MP). Smart, practiced retail operator, handles awkward questions smoothly, writes an informative blog with a joke at the end to keep you reading. Intelligent but unexciting - makes Starmer sound like a populist in comparison. Certainly very different from Johnson, if that's what the Tories want, but I think ultimately too quietly intellectual for them.
His plainess doesn't frighten me, although I wouldn't vote for him. He does realign the Conservative Party with reality, which is no bad thing.
Some of the alternatives frighten the hell out of me, although even the most unpleasant candidates have to be an improvement in the seriousness stakes over an idle, feckless clown.
I just made an incredible "authentic" bolognese, it is the best I've ever tasted outside of Italy
The mayor of Bologna was on r4 a couple of years ago. He said he is relaxed about any dish being called bolognese if it contasins the 2 key ingredients, *white* wine and full fat milk.
Here is the 'official' recipe decided by the Accademia Italiana della Cucina: With a solemn decree of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina – the Italian Academy of Cuisine, the present was notarized and deposited in the Palazzo della Mercanzia, the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Bologna on the 17th of October 1982. Ingredients 800 gr. beef cartella (thin skirt) 150 gr. pancetta, dried 50 gr. carrot 50 gr. celery stalk 50 gr. onion 5 spoons tomato sauce or 20 gr. triple tomato extract 1 cup whole milk Half cup white or red wine, dry and not frizzante Salt and pepper, to taste. Procedure The pancetta, cut into little cubes and chopped with a mezzaluna chopping knife, is melted in a saucepan; the vegetables, once again well chopped with the mezzaluna, are then added and everything is left to stew softly. Next the ground beef is added and is left on the stovetop, while being stirred constantly, until it sputters. The wine and the tomato cut with a little broth are added and everything left to simmer for around two hours, adding little by little the milk and adjusting the salt and black pepper. Optional but advisable is the addition of the panna di cottura of a litre of whole milk at the end of the cooking.

What does your cabinet look like in A Nightmare on Downing Street?

Word of caution regarding the idea of a VONC after the local elections: I can’t think of a time when local elections have ever triggered a VONC. The problem with local election results is that the media starts going into overdrive and if they’re a disaster, MPs tend to be hit with a kind of collective, desperate inertia. They want to do something but it looks reactive and panicky so they hold fire.
Personally I think if they want to go for it they should do it early spring. Let Boris absorb the latest covid gloom, get some green shoots going, then bring in a new fresh broom. For Rishi I feel there is no better chance for a shot at the top while his political capital remains high - although having the NI increase hit halfway through a leadership election campaign wouldn’t be ideal, I suppose.
For Liz it would be an opportunity to get moving before the Brexit crap hits the fan.
The problem with Rishi or Liz is their political instincts are out of tune with the prevailing public mood. Sure, they can probably manage to go to the CBI and not waffle about children's TV characters. But radical small state supply side stuff won't wash either.
Rishi is a complete unknown on such things - I hope that as he knows how the treasury works (and the obvious flaws in the railway documents) that he is prepared to ignore the treasury when he takes power.
Reannouncing HS2E or NPR will return a lot of Red Wall voters to him - even if their delivery dates are pushed back a bit.
It’s interesting, because there is only the one person who seems credible as a Prime Minister in the cabinet, in Rishi, clear favourite. But he’s handed thirty billion pounds of tax payers money to criminals! Second favourite Truss has signed all those trade deals the details and impacts of which are yet to come out in the wash.
Opposition parties could love getting stuck into their records the next couple of years.
If you are talking about Bounce Back Loans - yes some money has been lost but I suspect a lot more will be recovered than people expect.
Plus something had to be done to give small firms a chance to survive and a loan administered by a third party is a lot lower risk and hassle than grants - which gave many welsh holiday lets better profits in 2020 than in 2021.
It would be good if we get some of that money back off the scammers. The Mail said Sunak mislaid thirty billion but I can’t Say I understand about maths or finance to that degree.
I don’t really know what skills or knowledge I bring to this blog, the longest job I’ve had is managing a charity shop when I was 17/18, my maths coped with that okay I think.
Maybe if you want to know how to encourage a horse to give you a hug. I had a big horse day today. Took some horses out. Lots of horse hugs and riding. But no Mr Overalls.
It was before I went to Cheltenham a couple of months ago my friend told me they found him dead, suspected heart attack. Today she told me he wasn’t the same when his companion was gone, he would just be in a world of his own. Poor Overalls!
He bit me once another time he kicked me in the mouth, but that wasn’t his fault some people blew their car horn when they didn’t need to. But he always came over and gave me lots of hugs.
OK, so many years ago, there was either an advert or a trailer for a TV program, featuring a Scottish footy manager who said, "I don't drink, I don't smoke. I don't do anything that's bad for me." But I can't remember who it was!
Someone: "I don't drink, I don't smoke, and tomorrow I am celebrating my 80th birthday." Churcill: "How?"

I was a bit nervous about putting chicken liver in my bolognese, but it really works..
“Zia Nerina, a splendid woman, titanic of proportion but angelic of face and manner, who in the 1950s owned and ran the Trattoria Nerina in Bologna”, features minced beef, chicken livers and chopped bacon or uncooked ham, in addition to the usual vegetables, plus white wine, stock, tomato purée and nutmeg.

He has no chance at all. If he makes the final two he will handily lose to whoever he faces. He won’t make the final two.
The winner of the contest will be whoever promises the best feather-bedding and inheritance protection to the increasingly ageing membership. The young do not vote Conservative so adding more debt to their already laden backs will not cost any votes in the country...

Pretty much as it is at present. It has improved a notch with the defenestrated Frost out of the picture.
Lincoln County Georgia, which is nearly one-third Black, proposes closing 6 of 7 polling sites for 2022 after GOP took over local election board & purged Dems

Lincoln County voted 68% for Trump last year and is a GOP stronghold.

Saw Biden's Omicron press conference and what a contrast to our failed leaders on this side of the pond.
He was calm, measured, reasonable.
Emphasising the importance of vaccines, without sparking panic; emphasising in a calm voice that this is not March last year and that there's no reason to panic, just to be sensible. Activating FEMA to help capacity in hospitals, ambulances and vaccination centres. As far as I saw not a single hint of restrictions or any other nonsense. He was genuinely "Presidential".
The problem on this side of the pond is leaders have got hooked on trying to manage the demand side of healthcare, instead of taking the supply side on as their responsibility which is what Biden was doing with FEMA.
What a difference a genuine leader is over there. Far better than the clown in Downing Street who seems to be scared of his own shadow now yet is himself infinitely better than the even worse fools in the devolved governments or on the opposition bench.
I don't like him much, and he gets mocked here a lot, and he was just acceptable under the circumstances, but what a shame we don't have a single leader in any party it seems in this country of the caliber of Biden.
Our scientists and politicians need to be firmly told the time for managing the demand side of healthcare via restrictions is over and that their job now is to handle the supply side, like America is doing. If Whitty or Vallance can't live with that, they should resign or be fired.
I'm a bit worried about this bit though, as reported on the BBC: "The new measures announced today include:
Buying 500 million rapid tests to deliver to Americans for free"
That's about two each. I get though more than that in a week.

Look I know voter suppression is a thing but unless there's some other issue here then this story doesn't make sense.
Lincoln County voted 68% for Trump last year and is a GOP stronghold.
Its also got a population of under 8k though so perhaps reducing the number of polling stations is merely for cost saving.
Finally what's special about a county in Georgia being 'nearly one third Black' ?
The Wiki entry says 257 square miles - and the map has it as roughly triangular - so the county is something like 30 miles long x 15 miles broad at least. To put that in context, the IoW is 150 sq miles. One voting station won't cut it.
Here is the 'official' recipe decided by the Accademia Italiana della Cucina: With a solemn decree of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina – the Italian Academy of Cuisine, the present was notarized and deposited in the Palazzo della Mercanzia, the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Bologna on the 17th of October 1982. Ingredients 800 gr. beef cartella (thin skirt) 150 gr. pancetta, dried 50 gr. carrot 50 gr. celery stalk 50 gr. onion 5 spoons tomato sauce or 20 gr. triple tomato extract 1 cup whole milk Half cup white or red wine, dry and not frizzante Salt and pepper, to taste.

That looks like it should be worth trying: thanks for posting it.

They are good points. Although, if it has a population of under 8k it will be phenomenally rural. Even if counties in Georgia tend to be much smaller than most in the US. Should imagine many voters will face a long drive with no public transport to the one polling place.

Yes well I think this country is a bit test and case mad. It's worth noting they've gone this far without any home testing at all.
Test if you have symptoms or are concerned is far more sensible than test every time you flinch or leave the house.
No wonder so many in this country are so paranoid. It isn't healthy.

At that point you're just better off locked in the panic room till the dust has settled.
Mind you 2021 can be backed at 90 on betfair, might have a tenner. 10 days is a long time in politics
Check the rules. Are you betting on when Boris announces he will step down, or is it when he is formally replaced? Then add a fudge factor because Betfair could settle it based on what colour tie he is wearing; Betfair has form!
At odds of 90 or even 200 on betfair laying 2021 makes sense. The only way Boris leaves office in 2021 is via a fatal heart attack.
He's a fat muscular old fck, with Xmas dinner to come. I wouldn't be laying the heart attack.
Genes tho. His dad, who he increasingly resembles, is still hale and hearty and tippling wine and slapping female arses in his early 80s. They both have that stocky, enduring, prop forward physique. It can take a lot of punishment
Thank God there is no question of heavy cocaine use, that can really fck your heart.
I have no personal knowledge of this, but I would lay odds that Boris does not do a lot of ‘ooter
Petronella in the speccie says Carrie and cohort party like fck in no 10 while Bojo is the grumpy old man in the corner. My guess is it gets pressed on him.
Yes, I believe all that, and I believe he refuses the chang
More wine? Sure
There are few 50-somethings who actively enjoy cocaine
Tbh, there's not a lot of 30 somethings that do either. At least judging by my own friends who are all mid or late 30s, I think we're more likely to go down the party drug route like mandy or 2cp rather than something that just makes everyone cunty like coke.
The other thing that's been putting people off is the reports that party drugs are being laced with fentanyl to get people addicted. The guy we bought from has ended up in jail and now we don't have anyone who we trust to not fuck us over. We really need to legalise it.
Fentanyl is fucking lovely stuff, though. That is not a stab at edginess, I get it off the NHS while they are sticking cameras up my arse. Mad for it I am.
I had that done once, but they never invited me to make a series.
Pulp Fiction ... when they shot the pilot they found a stage 3 and a bit out of 4 thang, so they like to keep looking.
I went to a neighbour's Christmas party a few years back. A cheerful man whom I'd never met (though I vaguely knew his wife) was telling me about his colonocopy. Apparently during the procedure - due, presumably to the fentanyl - he started hallucinating that he was in Star Wars, as one of the pilots attacking the death star, and the screen in front of him showing the progress of the camera up his arse was his ship making its way down the valleys of the death star. (If I knew my star wars better I could probably explain it.) Apparently a first for the operators of the camera. He went on to add me on linkedin, and has had the odd piece of work out of me since.
Lincoln County Georgia, which is nearly one-third Black, proposes closing 6 of 7 polling sites for 2022 after GOP took over local election board & purged Dems
Look I know voter suppression is a thing but unless there's some other issue here then this story doesn't make sense.
Lincoln County voted 68% for Trump last year and is a GOP stronghold.
Its also got a population of under 8k though so perhaps reducing the number of polling stations is merely for cost saving.
Finally what's special about a county in Georgia being 'nearly one third Black' ?
They are good points. Although, if it has a population of under 8k it will be phenomenally rural. Even if counties in Georgia tend to be much smaller than most in the US. Should imagine many voters will face a long drive with no public transport to the one polling place.
257 square miles. So slightly less than twice the size of Rutland with a fifth of the population. Don't imagine we'd be happy with one polling station in that area. No car, no vote.
Here is the 'official' recipe decided by the Accademia Italiana della Cucina: With a solemn decree of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina – the Italian Academy of Cuisine, the present was notarized and deposited in the Palazzo della Mercanzia, the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Bologna on the 17th of October 1982. Ingredients 800 gr. beef cartella (thin skirt) 150 gr. pancetta, dried 50 gr. carrot 50 gr. celery stalk 50 gr. onion 5 spoons tomato sauce or 20 gr. triple tomato extract 1 cup whole milk Half cup white or red wine, dry and not frizzante Salt and pepper, to taste. Procedure The pancetta, cut into little cubes and chopped with a mezzaluna chopping knife, is melted in a saucepan; the vegetables, once again well chopped with the mezzaluna, are then added and everything is left to stew softly. Next the ground beef is added and is left on the stovetop, while being stirred constantly, until it sputters. The wine and the tomato cut with a little broth are added and everything left to simmer for around two hours, adding little by little the milk and adjusting the salt and black pepper. Optional but advisable is the addition of the panna di cottura of a litre of whole milk at the end of the cooking.
Oh the original recipe, yeah I've tried that a couple of times, once it was great, the other time I fucked it up. Been meaning to do it again, maybe over the very long weekend, though I also want to fire up my new wood fired pizza oven, a real dilemma!
My friend, that must have cost you a bob or two!
Ooni had a sale at black Friday, 25% off so I went for it!

American elections also involve far more voting than we get here, where I can't remember voting on more than three things at a time (and that only once). This means each elector will take much longer.

But even that doesn't help the GOP as the county seat of Lincolnton (where I assume the remaining polling site would be) has a higher proportion of Black people than the county average.

It is rivetting, seeing the camera feed in real time. And my benchmark for cool is the doctor who was in charge of proceedings when they found my cancer. Hmmm, she said, I'm not sure what we are looking at now, but I'm pretty certain it is not meant to be there.

And wouldn't making it more difficult to vote hinder the GOP given their voters are more likely to be older and less likely to use postal votes ?
Maybe so. But why does the self-styled Patriotic Party in the self-styled Greatest Democracy in History, seem to have such an issue with folk voting easily?

The Wiki entry says 257 square miles - and the map has it as roughly triangular - so the county is something like 30 miles long x 15 miles broad at least. To put that in context, the IoW is 150 sq miles. One voting station won't cut it.
Maybe not.
But reducing the number of polling sites looks like a good way of suppressing the GOP vote so why would the GOP want to do that ?
Its easy to see conspiracies everywhere but there's never any shortage of idiocy by those in charge.

Lincoln County Georgia, which is nearly one-third Black, proposes closing 6 of 7 polling sites for 2022 after GOP took over local election board & purged Dems
Look I know voter suppression is a thing but unless there's some other issue here then this story doesn't make sense.
Lincoln County voted 68% for Trump last year and is a GOP stronghold.
Its also got a population of under 8k though so perhaps reducing the number of polling stations is merely for cost saving.
Finally what's special about a county in Georgia being 'nearly one third Black' ?
They are good points. Although, if it has a population of under 8k it will be phenomenally rural. Even if counties in Georgia tend to be much smaller than most in the US. Should imagine many voters will face a long drive with no public transport to the one polling place.
Perhaps so.
But even that doesn't help the GOP as the county seat of Lincolnton (where I assume the remaining polling site would be) has a higher proportion of Black people than the county average.
And wouldn't making it more difficult to vote hinder the GOP given their voters are more likely to be older and less likely to use postal votes ?
Maybe so. But why does the self-styled Patriotic Party in the self-styled Greatest Democracy in History, seem to have such an issue with folk voting easily?
Only those folk which vote for the other lot.
Now perhaps the closing of polling sites in a GOP stronghold is some small part of a grand conspiracy - are the people closing the sites also able to close them in other counties with Lincoln County thus being some acceptably small collateral damage for the GOP ? I've no idea how these things work but that might be some tenuous hypothesis.
Alternatively its some bizarre local decision - there's never a shortage of crap decisions made by those in government so why shouldn't this be another ?
Totally puzzled by the respect for Jeremy Junior-Doctors / Pandemic-Preparedness-Plan Hunt.
Also he comes across as a weirdo on camera.
He has no chance at all. If he makes the final two he will handily lose to whoever he faces. He won’t make the final two.
The winner of the contest will be whoever promises the best feather-bedding and inheritance protection to the increasingly ageing membership. The young do not vote Conservative so adding more debt to their already laden backs will not cost any votes in the country...
That is if it goes to the membership. Theresa May's election did not, after Leadsom was pressed to withdraw.
Lincoln County Georgia, which is nearly one-third Black, proposes closing 6 of 7 polling sites for 2022 after GOP took over local election board & purged Dems
Look I know voter suppression is a thing but unless there's some other issue here then this story doesn't make sense.
Lincoln County voted 68% for Trump last year and is a GOP stronghold.
Its also got a population of under 8k though so perhaps reducing the number of polling stations is merely for cost saving.
Finally what's special about a county in Georgia being 'nearly one third Black' ?
They are good points. Although, if it has a population of under 8k it will be phenomenally rural. Even if counties in Georgia tend to be much smaller than most in the US. Should imagine many voters will face a long drive with no public transport to the one polling place.
Perhaps so.

Lincoln County must have been an unfortunate name during the Confederacy.
Think that was me. Felicity Cloake's 'Perfect' is our go to for any classic. She tries lots of recipes and shares the best.
Her minestone and oatcake recipes are both pretty good, but I've managed to improve the oatcakes substantially by simplifying and adding egg and whisky.

Lincoln County must have been an unfortunate name during the Confederacy.
The new county was named after General Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810), a Revolutionary War hero notable for receiving Gen. Cornwallis's Sword of Surrender at Yorktown, Virginia. In 1809 he retired from the military.
Unfortunate indeed. Surprised it wasn't re-named tbh.
Mind you 2021 can be backed at 90 on betfair, might have a tenner. 10 days is a long time in politics
Check the rules. Are you betting on when Boris announces he will step down, or is it when he is formally replaced? Then add a fudge factor because Betfair could settle it based on what colour tie he is wearing; Betfair has form!
At odds of 90 or even 200 on betfair laying 2021 makes sense. The only way Boris leaves office in 2021 is via a fatal heart attack.
He's a fat muscular old fck, with Xmas dinner to come. I wouldn't be laying the heart attack.
Genes tho. His dad, who he increasingly resembles, is still hale and hearty and tippling wine and slapping female arses in his early 80s. They both have that stocky, enduring, prop forward physique. It can take a lot of punishment
Thank God there is no question of heavy cocaine use, that can really fck your heart.
I have no personal knowledge of this, but I would lay odds that Boris does not do a lot of ‘ooter
Petronella in the speccie says Carrie and cohort party like fck in no 10 while Bojo is the grumpy old man in the corner. My guess is it gets pressed on him.
Yes, I believe all that, and I believe he refuses the chang
More wine? Sure
There are few 50-somethings who actively enjoy cocaine
Tbh, there's not a lot of 30 somethings that do either. At least judging by my own friends who are all mid or late 30s, I think we're more likely to go down the party drug route like mandy or 2cp rather than something that just makes everyone cunty like coke.
The other thing that's been putting people off is the reports that party drugs are being laced with fentanyl to get people addicted. The guy we bought from has ended up in jail and now we don't have anyone who we trust to not fuck us over. We really need to legalise it.

Her paella recipe is superb.
Yes, her approach is quite unique. A sort of Which? magazine for recipes. She tests the published variations of various chefs and cookery writers and writes them up like a student doing a 'science project'. Actually I'm sure that it is the same process followed by many cookery writers, but they normally just reveal the final outcome instead of her 'suck it and see' approach. Btw I seem to recall she was on one of those Xmas University Challenge programmes a few years ago.
Most random cooking tip I ever got was from Frank in Everybody Loves Raymond. He complains about his tuna sandwich not having celery in it, since it doesn't have "that crunch". I'm not a fan of raw celery normally but I now put a stick of quite finely diced celery in my tuna mayo. It does give a much better crunch than cucumber.

Similar random cooking tip: Charlie thingy, Gordon Brown's old spin doctor, once in a radio interview advised putting a bit of orange juice in the roasting tin with your parsnips. It works.

Putin on Omicron:
"They say it is not as harmful as it seems, some experts even call it 'live vaccination',"
He mismanaged the junior doctors strike, but was smart enough to learn his lesson and kicked the Consultant contract into the long grass.
One of the legacies of that strike is a contract so Byzantine in terms of what is permitted to keep below the limits on hours that any Omicron absences are going to be very hard to cover in the next few weeks.
Over all though he wasn't a bad Heath Secretary. There have been a dozen worse in my lifetime.
Remember though that Health is a career ending cabinet job. None has gone on to be PM since the NHS started.
P.S. A man of the people, he and his family flew in the back with the hoi poloi.
He was calm, measured, reasonable.
Emphasising the importance of vaccines, without sparking panic; emphasising in a calm voice that this is not March last year and that there's no reason to panic, just to be sensible. Activating FEMA to help capacity in hospitals, ambulances and vaccination centres. As far as I saw not a single hint of restrictions or any other nonsense. He was genuinely "Presidential".
The problem on this side of the pond is leaders have got hooked on trying to manage the demand side of healthcare, instead of taking the supply side on as their responsibility which is what Biden was doing with FEMA.
What a difference a genuine leader is over there. Far better than the clown in Downing Street who seems to be scared of his own shadow now yet is himself infinitely better than the even worse fools in the devolved governments or on the opposition bench.
I don't like him much, and he gets mocked here a lot, and he was just acceptable under the circumstances, but what a shame we don't have a single leader in any party it seems in this country of the caliber of Biden.
Our scientists and politicians need to be firmly told the time for managing the demand side of healthcare via restrictions is over and that their job now is to handle the supply side, like America is doing. If Whitty or Vallance can't live with that, they should resign or be fired.

Some of the alternatives frighten the hell out of me, although even the most unpleasant candidates have to be an improvement in the seriousness stakes over an idle, feckless clown.

Here is the 'official' recipe decided by the Accademia Italiana della Cucina:
With a solemn decree of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina – the Italian Academy of Cuisine, the present was notarized and deposited in the Palazzo della Mercanzia, the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Bologna on the 17th of October 1982. Ingredients
800 gr. beef cartella (thin skirt)
150 gr. pancetta, dried
50 gr. carrot
50 gr. celery stalk
50 gr. onion
5 spoons tomato sauce or 20 gr. triple tomato extract
1 cup whole milk
Half cup white or red wine, dry and not frizzante
Salt and pepper, to taste. Procedure
The pancetta, cut into little cubes and chopped with a mezzaluna chopping knife, is melted in a saucepan; the vegetables, once again well chopped with the mezzaluna, are then added and everything is left to stew softly. Next the ground beef is added and is left on the stovetop, while being stirred constantly, until it sputters. The wine and the tomato cut with a little broth are added and everything left to simmer for around two hours, adding little by little the milk and adjusting the salt and black pepper. Optional but advisable is the addition of the panna di cottura of a litre of whole milk at the end of the cooking.

I don’t really know what skills or knowledge I bring to this blog, the longest job I’ve had is managing a charity shop when I was 17/18, my maths coped with that okay I think.
Maybe if you want to know how to encourage a horse to give you a hug. I had a big horse day today. Took some horses out. Lots of horse hugs and riding. But no Mr Overalls.
It was before I went to Cheltenham a couple of months ago my friend told me they found him dead, suspected heart attack. Today she told me he wasn’t the same when his companion was gone, he would just be in a world of his own. Poor Overalls!
He bit me once another time he kicked me in the mouth, but that wasn’t his fault some people blew their car horn when they didn’t need to. But he always came over and gave me lots of hugs.
Feeling very tired this evening. 🥱
Churcill: "How?"
“Zia Nerina, a splendid woman, titanic of proportion but angelic of face and manner, who in the 1950s owned and ran the Trattoria Nerina in Bologna”, features minced beef, chicken livers and chopped bacon or uncooked ham, in addition to the usual vegetables, plus white wine, stock, tomato purée and nutmeg.
Did you use pineapple rings, chunks or fresh pineapple?

"The new measures announced today include:
Buying 500 million rapid tests to deliver to Americans for free"
That's about two each. I get though more than that in a week.
Should imagine many voters will face a long drive with no public transport to the one polling place.
Test if you have symptoms or are concerned is far more sensible than test every time you flinch or leave the house.
No wonder so many in this country are so paranoid. It isn't healthy.
He went on to add me on linkedin, and has had the odd piece of work out of me since.
Don't imagine we'd be happy with one polling station in that area.
No car, no vote.
But even that doesn't help the GOP as the county seat of Lincolnton (where I assume the remaining polling site would be) has a higher proportion of Black people than the county average.

Boris was relatively popular six weeks ago, did that make him a good leader in your eyes?
But why does the self-styled Patriotic Party in the self-styled Greatest Democracy in History, seem to have such an issue with folk voting easily?
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/aug/11/how-to-make-perfect-hummus
But reducing the number of polling sites looks like a good way of suppressing the GOP vote so why would the GOP want to do that ?
Its easy to see conspiracies everywhere but there's never any shortage of idiocy by those in charge.
