Always a game for cards anyway, but not been a NLD with so much on it for a long time. Took short odds for 40+ booking points, also got a small stakes spread buy at 61.
She's written a corker here. Agree with every sentiment.
This and the German threat only fired me up to start local organisation talks.
"He says there will be consequences. Imagine a French man telling Thatcher there would be consequences. He'd be walking like John Wayne for a week. Consequences, you little man? Consequences? You've never stuck around long enough to see the consequences of your repeated capitulation in the face of attack. Your countrymen have never successfully defended Paris from the Germans, a tradition you continue to this day." Katie Hopkins
Could you argue that the Paris commune successfully defended Paris? (only going by Wiki. my GCSE/O-level pilot history missed out this period)
No. Germans in January 1870 had forced the French Govt to sign a ceasefire and armistice. The Germans chose not to occupy Paris under that Treaty. A few months later the Commune took over Paris and in May the French govt removed them.
Can't people who want to read such puerile crap from the Daily Mail read it in the privacy of their own bathroom and spare the rest of us this pollution?
Dear Roger, have you considered that Katie's article probably resonates with more voters views than your own? You are being given the opportunity to learn something.

Your inner Mary Whitehouse is showing, luv.
It's moronic I can only imagine you haven't read it....
(OT. Have you seen 'Hail Caesar' yet? I really enjoyed it and who taught Channing Tatum to sing dance and act! Great cameo from your mate RF)
Roger, the clue was in the link - www.dailymail. You reading that is just as inevitable as Mary Whitehouse going out to see Last Tango...!! With a similar outcome.
Hail Caesar was on the list for today but Herself has a nasty cold, so I will wait until her Typhoid Annie status has subsided. (I just wish other folks with stinking colds would stay indoors. Is there an Old Wives Tale that the best way to cure a cold is to travel on public transport or go to the cinema?)
63% of white men voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 63% of white men voted for George Bush snr. in 1988 62% of white men voted for George W. Bush in 2004 62% of white men voted for Mitt Romney in 2012
Hispanics will make up 12% of the eligible vote this year only 0.5% below the AA vote.
Their vote in swing states will be 18% in Florida, 17% in Nevada, 15% in Colorado. They will also make up crucial blocs in Virginia and the rust belt states.
The latest Florida poll has Trump +2. Hardly "in the bag".
Hispanics in Florida are usually Cuban-Americans, lections.
Incorrect.
Florida's Cuban hispanics now make up a clear minority of the demographic - 31
Though Puerto Ricans are different to Mexicans too.
Do you think my point has any validity that SW Hispanics are quite different to East Coast ones, both in terms of origins, but also social class? Similar perhaps to the differences between British Muslims and British Sikhs in voting behaviour.
Clearly in Florida the GOP has historically been stronger in the Cuban community but even this demographic is trending away from the GOP. Outside of Florida the hispanic voting patterns are at the margin very similar whether it be Nevada, Virginia or the rust belt states.
Just as New Mexico has trended away from GOP (Bush Jnr won there) so has Nevada. Colorado has followed suit and it time so will Arizona and Texas will become a swing state eventually.
By the time Texas becomes a swing state the Democrats would have won the presidency a dozen times by always winning Florida. A realignment will happen long before then.
Nothing is forever in politics.
However the GOP is in terrible trouble in POTUS terms and presently they have no answer to the conundrum.
Trump will turn it into a positive. Elect me and I'll clean up politics. Starting with the GOP...

Are there that many ESN voters in the country?
What does ESN stand for? Erasmus Student Network?
As a leftie I wouldn’t describe Wail readers as ESN. Deluded yes.
Much like Labour the GOP need to get the fanaticism of the base out of the system, that will only come by nominating losing ideologues ie Trump in 2016 and Cruz in 2020. The answer will then be the half-Hispanic, JFK lookalike likely next governor of Texas and son of the former governor of Florida George P Bush, however it will take 16 years out of the White House to get there
Are you seriously arguing that the answer to the Republicans' problems is the injection of the right demographic blood into the Bush dynasty?
Far from being an ideologue, Trump is the only candidate throwing out the ideological baggage that the party has accumulated since the Reagan era.
Yes, pretty much, for all their faults the Bushes are the only Republicans to have won a presidential election in the last 28 years.
Trump is anti immigration, anti Obamacare etc. If he wins, fine, obviously the GOP are electable and problem solved, George P Bush will only be the answer if he and then Cruz both lose
YouGov has recorded four consecutive leads for Remain since the last published poll, suggesting a movement towards the Remain side in the first two weeks of campaigning
Remain lead 40% to 37%, I am sticking to my prediction of Remain 52% to 48% with England outside London voting Leave
My recent model here showed the likely strong REMAIN vote in Scotland, Wales & N.I. had the effect of moving the overall UK vote by around 3.25%. Therefore, if the overall result were to be 52% vs 48% in favour of REMAIN, this would suggest that England, including London, had voted LEAVE. Very tricky for Dave & Co. were this to be the case.
Wales I think will be closer to England, Scotland strong Remain, NI in between
As ever ..... the Welsh are really English in sheep's clothing.

ITV apologises after cameras miss only goal in Merseyside derby
Gosling hit an 118th-minute goal to take Everton into the fifth round, but after viewers had sat through nearly two goalless hours ITV had already cut to a scheduled ad break moments before the winning goal.
Mr. Eagles, the BBC had tens of millions for the concept (alone) of The Voice. They could've withdrawn entirely from F1 and it would've gone to Channel 4.
Better than feared I suppose - how many shots did we have vs gunners.
They were much better than us when they had the ball. The front players were far more incisive. Kane needs help. But a point is more than I thought we'd get, so I'll take it happily.
Mr. Eagles, the BBC had tens of millions for the concept (alone) of The Voice. They could've withdrawn entirely from F1 and it would've gone to Channel 4.
Is all about ratings. Terrestrial broadcasters know F1 doesn't attract the ratings of shows like the voice.

I see Telegraph today has gone big on Cameron trying to bury the accurate immigration statistics. Its a full front page story. This is going to become too big for him to sustain if he doesn't release them.
The big question is whether he will be able to sit on them until after 23 June (my birthday btw!).
Surely there's no mystery - 600000 came in - who need NI numbers to work - 300000 left, leaving 300000 as the NET migration figure.

I find it quite patronising when people claim us ethnic minorities are only not voting for a party because their candidates aren't brown enough.
