    Good evening, everyone.

    11 - is Harman sure she wasn't marginalised for being a batshit insane feminist zealot?

    10 - Bercow's a precious little fellow, isn't he?
  • Scrapheap_as_wasScrapheap_as_was Posts: 10,069
    Damn... was about to lump on Germany, they were looking far more incisive...

    Could easily be 3-0 or 4-1 to them.

    IN YOUR FACE NATE SILVER

    Plus, I also tipped Muller as FGS.

    Kerching.

    Any criticism of HMS Harman is an afront to all wimmin - she is as one with wimmin. wimmin = harriet.

    Germany score against Brazil 1-0, seem to be worth their lead.

    Peter from Putney posted this on the last thread, after I posted I was backing Germany tonight, and laying Brazil for the World Cup, and that I had backed Muller as FGS.

    Nate Silver of 538.com gives Brazil a 73% chance of winning tonight and therefore Germany only a 27% chance. He also gives Brazil a 54% chance of lifting the World Cup trophy.

    So, TSE, either you or he is going to be very wrong this evening.

    FWIW, I'm going with Nate!

    So, my 6/1 tip has become a 12/1 tip now, as Muller scored the second as well as the first.

    The kicked the Columbians (who were the better football team) off the park and the referee did nothing about it which led, ultimately, to the Naymar injury as the Columbians responded in kind.

    5.I can see where Opperman is coming from. It's the easy approach of many in his party, much like Labour making attacks on Toffs, or implying that all Tories are toffs, but it offends a lot more people, especially as people in general seem willing to think negative things of the Tories more readily than Labour.

    Germany of course, look the world wars weren't Germany's fault.

    The First World War, was down to some truly bizarre treaties and alliances being invoked.

    Things being slightly different, we could have been on the same side as Germany.

    The Second World War, was the fault of the Frogs, with their vile Treaty of Versailles, it wasn't surprising Germany responded the way they did.

    They were great friends at school (used to hang out together with Fiona Fowler).

    So my mother, not unreasonably, flattened her.

    I'll dig out the full quote, but Enoch was a racist, and wrong on that, and many other things.

    On the polls they are jumping around all over the place at the moment, the Tories have probably been hit more than Labour by the sex abuse cover up allegations and by Coulson's jailing, but the fundamentals remain, the Tories need to squeeze the UKIP vote back well below 10% towards 5% or they will lose, until that happens everything else is irrelevant. Cameron got a small boost from Juncker towards that goal, which has now receded, he has to keep focus on that aim

    Extraordinary surge by Labour, almost Teutonic. I find it really hard to understand what is causing this, unless there has been some delayed reaction to Coulson etc.

    Or as the government of the day are the tories picking up the grief for the alleged cover ups of child abuse? That would seem a bit unfair but the subject stirs stronger emotions than almost anything we discuss regularly on here.

    There was a piece by Peter Oborne a few years ago, to tie in with his book on the D'Oliveria affair, said that it was the timing of the D'Oliveria affair is what damaged Enoch more than anything else.

    On the polls they are jumping around all over the place at the moment, the Tories have probably been hit more than Labour by the sex abuse cover up allegations and by Coulson's jailing, but the fundamentals remain, the Tories need to squeeze the UKIP vote back well below 10% towards 5% or they will lose, until that happens everything else is irrelevant. Cameron got a small boost from Juncker towards that goal, which has now receded, he has to keep focus on that aim

    Cameron has got huge boosts every time he's stood up for the UK against the EU centralising power. UKIP do better whenever the EU is in the news. The Lb Dem vote collapsed when they tried to be "the party of in". Huge shares of the country want major powers, including control of immigration, back in national hands. When are the political establishment going to realise that euroscepticism is politically popular?

    If the Conservatives came out and said, "We want A, B and C back from the EU or else we'll leave" they would win the next election. If they refuse to do that in order to stick up for a corrupt, undemocratic institution that has nothing but contempt for us, and let Ed Miliband in as a result, it will be sheer political malpractice.

    Extraordinary surge by Labour, almost Teutonic. I find it really hard to understand what is causing this,

    As the days go by, and even as it seems the Tories should be getting more support (rather than merely Labour support declining,as very slightly had appeared the case),it is getting harder and harder to see when the Tories will have a chance to turn things around,even as there appears not much that should impact them negatively in a significant way. If they haven't turned it around already, is the Ed M affect really enough on its own to stop it? It seems doubtful.
