I'll be voting LEAVE because I believe in Britain.
How about you?
I'll be voting REMAIN because I believe in Britain in Europe [ and the World ].
I want trade and human movement barriers coming down everywhere. Any country not doing so should have to pay an extra tariff.
Don't you mean Britain in the European Union?
I prefer the use of the expression "Britain in Europe".
So you don't consider Norway to be part of Europe?
Interesting. Would you be interested in some lessons in basic geography?
Why do you bring the stupid referendum into everything ? REMAIN will win by over 20 points in any case.
I want Britain in Europe because I want Britain to think it is in Europe like, e.g.Turkey.
Er, Look at the previous comments in your little thread. You will see that it is you who brought the 'stupid referendum' into it with your first comment:
"I'll be voting REMAIN because I believe in Britain in Europe "

Antonin Scalia has died. That's going to complicate the primaries.
The debate is just 3 hours away, we will see the impact first hand. But who does this favour?
RIP Judge Scalia.
It solidifies each party behind more firmly ideological candidates, and behind its eventual nominee. Bad for Trump in primaries I think, but better for him if he does get the nomination, and it should stop Bloomberg stone cold.
EDIT: I am assuming that, surely, Obama will not be permitted to appoint one of his Communist Islamist nominees by the God-fearing United States Senate.
it undercuts the argument that the next president will appoint supreme court replacements since it's too late for that, Obama will get the opportunity now, it ruins Hillary's point too.
I don't see how. It's still extremely likely that the next President will replace Ginsburg, Kennedy and Breyer at the least. Replace them with conservatives and - boom.
You never will either - I believe many on the left don't get why people vote Tory - it's a mystery...However, if it makes you feel better we can agree about your comments being 'unexceptional'
Not sure if you intended it to sound this way but it does sound like you are claiming Sean is on the Left. This is very much not the case. Until Recently Sean was one of the Tory party's staunchest defenders. It appears to be Cameron's policy on the EU that has driven Sean out, just as it did many more of us.
You missed my earlier comments - I think he is as unrealistic on the right as are those on the left who are very emotional about their politics and therefore fail to grasp what motivates voters. I expect a defeat for Leave will produce a similar twitter meltdown to that after the election. If the result is the other way I doubt if it would be the same.
There couldn't be a worst time for that to happen, just before a presidential election there will be the mother of all political fights about the composition of the Supreme Court.
Scalia was a very conservative justice, if Obama or a Democrat gets to pick his replacement that will shift the Court to the left
Can he? I don't think he has the votes in Congress. But what happens politically now?
Which candidate does this favour ?
Even if Obama will not get an outright liberal through Congress whoever he does nominate will be left of Scalia, I doubt it makes much difference to the primaries though

Obviously it matters. The Unionists would never have won the Sindy Referendum were it not for the fact that many Scots have an emotional attachment to the UK.

On Thread. People are beginning to wake up to the hole that Britain is in. Placed there by the elite politicians of all the major parties and their many supporters in Business, Education and the Arts.
They know in their bones that Britain is being run by Corrupt Charlatans and liars, brought about by the chief Charlatan and Liar, "call me Dave" himself.
Only today these so called politicians want to start a war with Russia, egged on by that madman Kerry of the USA, and who is now interfering in our referendum.
The next few weeks could see dirt flying all over the place; but I know who will get the most mud on their faces - the British People, as they see their nation subverted from within.

Hold on but it says they had loads of losses (which they rolled over, which is standard) and they only paid dividends in 2015, so it doesn't sound like they have been profiteering. And personally Osborne has been paid a grand total of £1200 for his massive 1% stake in the company.
Not exactly like they have revealed google-esque $130 million pay out to the top bod.

He is the pub bore, always wrong, never learns.. never be a pb tory!!
The longest Supreme Court confirmation process from nomination to resolution was Brandeis, at 125 days. Obama has 342 days left in office.
You need to include the failed procedures too. Sandra Day O'Connor to Justice Alito was 7 months. Lewis Powell to Justice Kennedy was 8 months. And needless to say, nowadays, any Republican Majority Senator who votes for an Obama nominee is getting fired in November.

Appointing a successor will add spice to the election, and maybe we'll be able to bet on it. Republicans led by Cruz might block Obama's candidate, but that only delays things if Hillary wins the White House. On the other hand, Obama might feel obliged to nominate a more neutral judge to placate Republicans, who then will face a double-or-quits choice based on who they think will win the presidency with the freedom to appoint a more partisan justice.
Cruz has form though, having held up the US ambassador to Norway for over two years.

TBH, even with the mega deal the premier league got, I can see them being interested in this. With internet and how cheap it is to have a satellite channel, a system like they have in the NFL could easily work in the UK and be very very lucrative.

Obama will not nominate a moderate He has repeatedly defeated conservative Republicans in Congress and his legacy as a liberal icon is on the line with this presumably final point of conflict He won't defeat them this time but neither can he concede to them without a fight, so it will be stalemate Instead, he will dare them to keep voting down a qualified liberal nominee and the conflict will remind liberals why they really need to support Clinton if she wins

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES MILLER v. ALBRIGHT, SECRETARY OF STATE CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
No. 96—1060. Argued November 4, 1997–Decided April 22, 1998
Justice Scalia, with whom Justice Thomas joins, concurring in the judgment.
'...The Constitution “contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization.” United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702 (1898). Under the Fourteenth Amendment, “[e]very person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no naturalization.” Ibid. Petitioner, having been born outside the territory of the United States, is an alien as far as the Constitution is concerned, and “can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of Congress.” Id., at 702—703; see also Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815, 827 (1971)...' [my emphasis]
Hence, the late Justice Scalia, in concurrence with numerous previous judgements of the SCOTUS, explains that people situated as Ted Cruz are naturalized citizens of the US, and are aliens as far as the Constitution is concerned.
Ergo, not a natural born citizen, and therefore ineligible to ascend to the Presidency...

Reckon UKIP will overtake labour in the polls in the next few weeks if he really is so out of touch with the voters
Though this weeks council by elections point the other way.
Indeed there does seem to be quite a paradox going on in polls vs elections. We shall have to see how things work out in May.
I don't see UKIP overtaking Labour at any time in the near future. But it is fair to say that as far as UKIP is concerned the local election results leading up to the GE were a poor reflection of their final vote share although not of the number of seats they got.
UKIP are distinctive for their international views, on domestic policy they are all over the place, with Libertarians supporting the spare room subsidy. I cannot see the point in voting kipper in local elections, and it seems that I am not alone.
What happens after the referendum is not yet clear. Anything tighter than 55-45% would probably give them a role.

The SNP had a chance this week to vote for higher public spending, and decided not to
At 5% we are at frictional unemployment levels. It is an astonishing achievement, especially when it is considered how many of the new jobs have gone to immigrants, the unemployed of other EU countries and the reductions in the head count in the public sector.
But I am sure the usual suspects will be along shortly to point out he missed targets set in a budget speech in 2010 or something equally heinous.
Or that the equally incompetent Gordon Brown presided over similar or lower levels.
Only by boosting the public sector headcount to record and unsustainable levels.
Leeds United have started legal action against the Football League in an attempt to dismantle the collective selling of TV rights and win the right to sell their own games, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Kinda. They want to make all 380 Premier League matches live on TV in England
TBH, even with the mega deal the premier league got, I can see them being interested in this. With internet and how cheap it is to have a satellite channel, a system like they have in the NFL could easily work in the UK and be very very lucrative.
I think we'll see club season tickets. Something like £100 per season to watch all your team's matches.
How much not to watch them? That was torture today.
It was rather considerate of Man U to put such space between us and 5th place. Champions League now nailed on!
We have no chance of making the top 4 now which will make the job of the next manager attracting the right quality of players much harder. LVG has been a bit of a disaster I'm afraid although in fairness to him the quality of the squad he inherited left much to be desired.
Anyway Leicester should have their minds on much higher things than the top 4. Carpe diem.
LVG's problem is that apart from Martial none of the £250 million spent has turned up even one World class player. He is hopeless and needs to go, the sooner the better. It reminds me of coming home from matches in the 1980's with my daughter in tears in the back of the car.

Tommorow is a free hit. Whatever happens we stay top. It looks like Gabriel is not fit (thigh injury in training) so the 5.0 avalible on a Leicester win looks value to me. The match will be much tighter than that.
the identities and backgrounds of those controlling Momentum can be revealed for the first time.
The newly appointed national leaders of the group include people who have defended violence, described the 2011 riots as an “uprising against the police”, banned participation in Remembrance Day, stood for election against the Labour Party, committed voter fraud, or were suspended from Labour for supporting a second convicted election fraudster.
Five of the eight members of Momentum’s new national “steering committee”, announced last week, have endorsed or taken part in revolutionary or anti-democratic activity, or excused violence, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

Cruz emphasises that the *next* president appoint his successor. Obama has a year or so left in office which is more than enough time in normal circumstances.
(Can he appoint himself? Obama was a constitutional law professor in his former life.)
Separation of powers. He can't be concurrently POTUS and Chief Justice.
Taft is the only POTUS who became Supreme Court Justice (after a gap of eight years)

It is depressing. Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin both look a total waste of money and Depay (who in fairness added marginally more purpose to the general meandering forward when he came on today) is struggling to get in the team. I am really not sure about Darmian either. But it is Di Maria which still sticks in the craw. It made Fernando Torres look like a shrewd investment for Chelsea.

Is that codified?
Yup. You can only work for one branch of government at any one time.

"I'll be voting REMAIN because I believe in Britain in Europe "
It looks like your understanding of basic English comprehension is about as advanced as your understanding of Geography.
It solidifies each party behind more firmly ideological candidates, and behind its eventual nominee. Bad for Trump in primaries I think, but better for him if he does get the nomination, and it should stop Bloomberg stone cold.
EDIT: I am assuming that, surely, Obama will not be permitted to appoint one of his Communist Islamist nominees by the God-fearing United States Senate.

Sound like a charming lot...and we are supposed to be more concerned about Osborne getting a £1200 dividend?
He has repeatedly defeated conservative Republicans in Congress and his legacy as a liberal icon is on the line with this presumably final point of conflict
He won't defeat them this time but neither can he concede to them without a fight, so it will be stalemate
Instead, he will dare them to keep voting down a qualified liberal nominee and the conflict will remind liberals why they really need to support Clinton if she wins
This is the first Supreme Court vacancy under a Democratic president and a Republican Senate since 1888.
Osborne too has excused violence, unless we think that firing projectiles into Syria would have been a gay affair involving sunflowers and rainbows
MILLER v. ALBRIGHT, SECRETARY OF STATE
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
No. 96—1060. Argued November 4, 1997–Decided April 22, 1998
Justice Scalia, with whom Justice Thomas joins, concurring in the judgment.
'...The Constitution “contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization.” United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702 (1898). Under the Fourteenth Amendment, “[e]very person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no naturalization.” Ibid. Petitioner, having been born outside the territory of the United States, is an alien as far as the Constitution is concerned, and “can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of Congress.” Id., at 702—703; see also Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815, 827 (1971)...' [my emphasis]
Hence, the late Justice Scalia, in concurrence with numerous previous judgements of the SCOTUS, explains that people situated as Ted Cruz are naturalized citizens of the US, and are aliens as far as the Constitution is concerned.
Ergo, not a natural born citizen, and therefore ineligible to ascend to the Presidency...
