Exactly what I said a few days ago. Leave must be very happy to be ahead with the people who can be relied upon to turn up at the polling stations.
Winter is coming for the pensioners though, from Project Fear.
Look out for pensions, saga holidays, werthers originals, bus passes and phone calls from your grandchildren all being under existential threat if we Leave.
One can only hope the older generation are made of strong stuff.
So looking forward to GOT coming back.
Me too. Enough of this faux gasping at a mediocre budget. Bring on Game of Thrones and let the Winds of Winter rage.
Oh, and good evening to all.
Evening. Is your icon John Snow really going to be alive and a player? I vaguely recall muttering I would not read the next book if he wasn't. Too few Starks left.
Winter is coming has entered the language in a way that is truly remarkable. Mind you half of the Godfather script did the same.
I believe Melisandre will revive Jon by means of necrophilia.
Interesting.
My son is studying Mary Queen of Scots and the murder of Lord Darnley at the moment. Certainly sets the mood with absurd quantities of sex, conspiracy and brutality. Bothwell ended up chained to a post in a dungeon until he went mad and died. Rizzio , possibly the queens lover and possibly father of James, was stabbed 50 odd times in front of the queen when she was 7 months pregnant with a view to inducing a miscarriage. Darnley was strangled in the garden whilst trying to escape his house which was in the process of being blown up. The list of suspects included the Queen who was already bonking Bothwell and married him 3 months later. Elizabeth had more spies and nobles in her pocket than you could shake a stick at.
Makes GOT seem a bit tame in places. And most the actors were young enough to think the EU is a good idea. Bothwell was only 21 when he died. Mary came south to seek refuge from Elizabeth (proving her stupidity beyond doubt)!when she was 24.
Our history is more exciting than most of its teachers want to let on.
Kate Andrews, of the Institute of Economic Affairs, says experience in other countries has shown "a sugar tax is incredibly regressive".
She tells the BBC: "It's disproportionately going to affect the people at the bottom, people who are poor on low incomes."
One could say the same about taxes on cigarettes. The solution is simple, which is to avoid these products if you don't wish to pay the taxes.
The new tax will put 8p on a can of Coke or Red Bull - surely it would be way more effective (at reducing consumption, rather than raising revenue) if it put 80p on a can, doubling the price.

Exactly what I said a few days ago. Leave must be very happy to be ahead with the people who can be relied upon to turn up at the polling stations.
That's why I'm determined to Remain. My children and grandchildren (those old enough to have an opinion) are solidly for Remain.
So even if I wasn't for Remain anyway I owe it to them to vote Remain. It's their future.
And in their future the chances are they will change their views and then wish that Leave had won.
As we get older clearly we get more sensible.
No, like, apparently, some here, they'll look back to the equivalent of a "sunny" time of their youth. In my case I was young and strong, the world was my hamster and 33% of the world map was coloured red. Except that it wasn't that good in many respects.
I am afraid you are in denial. All the polling evidence is that as people get older they get less and less enamored of the EU. Well, the sensible ones anyway.
I'm not in denial. The EU has many problems, but becoming part of a Free Tade Area consisting of the UK, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands isn't the best alternative.

Didn't Elizabeth I ask Wolsingham to ensure the Babington plotters had such a cruel death that no-one would ever be tempted to emulate them?
And, a century later Judge Jeffreys was such a byword for cruelty that his descendants two generations later couldn't visit the West Country.

Straw man attack. No one has ever suggested that. The only reason you have to resort to such idiotic comments is that you have no reasoned or logical response to make. It is a typical Europhile response and exposes the paucity of your arguments

That's funny. Shows how most of these new online 'news' outlets are just clickbait with little journalistic input. One minute's research would have told them that their 'analyst' was, quite literally, a clown!

For all people give John crap for attempting usurpation, monarchs in general seem remarkably practical when it comes overthrowing or killing relatives, or working with those who did it.
If they were around today I suspect they'd think everyone but the North Korean and australian leaderships lacked appropriate ruthlessness.

Yep. No wonder he kept his head down for most of his reign. At least it was on his shoulders.

Exactly what I said a few days ago. Leave must be very happy to be ahead with the people who can be relied upon to turn up at the polling stations.
Winter is coming for the pensioners though, from Project Fear.
Look out for pensions, saga holidays, werthers originals, bus passes and phone calls from your grandchildren all being under existential threat if we Leave.
One can only hope the older generation are made of strong stuff.
So looking forward to GOT coming back.
Me too. Enough of this faux gasping at a mediocre budget. Bring on Game of Thrones and let the Winds of Winter rage.
Oh, and good evening to all.
Evening. Is your icon John Snow really going to be alive and a player? I vaguely recall muttering I would not read the next book if he wasn't. Too few Starks left.
Winter is coming has entered the language in a way that is truly remarkable. Mind you half of the Godfather script did the same.
I believe Melisandre will revive Jon by means of necrophilia.
Interesting.
Makes GOT seem a bit tame in places. And most the actors were young enough to think the EU is a good idea. Bothwell was only 21 when he died. Mary came south to seek refuge from Elizabeth (proving her stupidity beyond doubt)!when she was 24.

I would have so backed Rock the Kasbah.
Rock the kasbah unfortunately didn't.
Anyway fortunately for me, I believe in fairy tales and put £50 each way on Sprinter Sacre about a week ago To be there seeing him tank up the hill was simply amazing. The bet return was pleasing too

James seems to have been relatively unconcerned about the death of his mother.
For all people give John crap for attempting usurpation, monarchs in general seem remarkably practical when it comes overthrowing or killing relatives, or working with those who did it.
If they were around today I suspect they'd think everyone but the North Korean and australian leaderships lacked appropriate ruthlessness.
In a world of hereditary monarchs, with absolute power, murdering rivals was simply how politics was done back then.

James V was a nice guy. He had Lady Janet Douglas burned alive on false charges of witchcraft, because he coveted Glamis Castle - and forced her young son to watch.

The Chancellor is extremely unlikely to survive a second recession in his job, considering there hasn't even been a first recession in his job yet.
Immaterial, for the same reason people didn't seemingly react that much when official figures showed us going into, out of and then back into recession (before it later updates changed that too) - to most people it felt pretty much the same even if the percentage decimals went one way or another, what mattered was how they felt. Same now - if we continue to feel like crap, he will likely suffer, even if it is his first 'official' fall back into recession.
It's not immaterial to expect economic journalists who are reporting on the budget to know such basic facts like when the last recession was.
You place to much faith in the Wesminster bubble types. The Economist claimed the other week that CETA didn't cover financial services, when its one of the main chapters!!
"In sum, CETA provisions found in chapter 15 are likely to have a marginal impact on the Canadian and European financial services sectors, for two reasons. First, these provisions closely follow those of GATS and its annex on financial services,16 of which Canada and the European Union are signatories. Second, although CETA provides the possibility for the free movement of financial services and the individuals who supply them, many regulatory and licensing requirements are likely to remain in place on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean once the agreement comes into force."
Yes, I've read that. It definitely confirms it covers financial services, doesn't it? It says the main reason there won't be more impact is because GATS has already done so much for international trade in financial services between countries. It also says the main barrier to further integration was on Canadian side, who still have failed to align finance regulations between various provinces. That won't apply to UK obviously.
No, it names two reasons why it will have a marginal impact. Don't just pick the one that suits you.
And if you'd already read it and accept that it's going to have marginal impact, don't go promulgating bullshit about it being one of the main chapters.
I mentioned both reasons. And the very paper you linked says "Financial services are an important component of the agreement".

I agree, but I always warn people 7-10 gets a little bogged down in the side details, as you have the core main characters, who at that point all have their own very extended retinues of supporting characters and plots. But vivid and well crafted, no question, a real favourite of mine.
I've also now listened to the audio books of the series, which are well delivered too.

The changes in personal allowance are crafted to help the struggling middle classes.I calculate that the increase in the allowance from £11,000 to £11500 will give £100 to the standard rate tax payer and £200 to a 40% tax payer.That benefit is dwarfed by raising the level that 40% is paid by £2615 yielding a further £523.So its £100 gain for hard working people and for better off tax payers.One thing you can say about the Tories they look after their own well.

It's going to be a nasty, nasty campaign on both sides. There will be plenty more ads like that one.
Trump will go very hard on Hillary and portray her as utterly corrupt. Hillary will play on the fears of Trump the man as being unfit and dangerous.
I'd have thought that by November most Americans would wish they had a choice of someone else.
From a purely betting perspective there has to be some value in Trump to win - unless he gets stitched up at the Convention.
No, I don't think that will happen because you don't understand the psychology.
The numerous scandals around the Clintons have been around for years with no result.
As such Trump will merely allude to Clinton as being ill, and shrill anti-male. Trump appears presidental.
Clinton can do one of two things, go easy on Trump in which case he wins by default, or
go hard on Trump in which case he wins as she appears (mentally) ill, shrill and anti-male.
As Clinton has never shown any ability at politics guess which one she will choose.
Trump is going to win by a landslide.
Trump, the man who spends him time insulting every other candidate and believes in imaginary New Jersey Muslims cheering 9/11, is presidential??
The electorate does not consist of a panel of Harvard wonks.
You don't need to be a Harvard wonk to find Trump a bellicose clown. He'll lose badly among minorities (a third of the electorate), and struggle among white graduates (another third) and there won't be enough uneducated whites to see him through.
Do you REALLY believe that.
Consider this. The average black/hispanic has an IQ of about 85.
They will hear Trump...wall...stopping illegals... and think "thats good for our jobs and wages"

From a purely betting perspective there has to be some value in Trump to win - unless he gets stitched up at the Convention.
No, I don't think that will happen because you don't understand the psychology.
The numerous scandals around the Clintons have been around for years with no result.
As such Trump will merely allude to Clinton as being ill, and shrill anti-male. Trump appears presidental.
Clinton can do one of two things, go easy on Trump in which case he wins by default, or
go hard on Trump in which case he wins as she appears (mentally) ill, shrill and anti-male.
As Clinton has never shown any ability at politics guess which one she will choose.
Trump is going to win by a landslide.
Trump, the man who spends him time insulting every other candidate and believes in imaginary New Jersey Muslims cheering 9/11, is presidential??
The electorate does not consist of a panel of Harvard wonks.
You don't need to be a Harvard wonk to find Trump a bellicose clown. He'll lose badly among minorities (a third of the electorate), and struggle among white graduates (another third) and there won't be enough uneducated whites to see him through.
Do you REALLY believe that.
Consider this. The average black/hispanic has an IQ of about 85.
They will hear Trump...wall...stopping illegals... and think "thats good for our jobs and wages"
You don't REALLY, REALLY believe what you've posted do you?
It's going to be a nasty, nasty campaign on both sides. There will be plenty more ads like that one.

The changes in personal allowance are crafted to help the struggling middle classes.I calculate that the increase in the allowance from £11,000 to £11500 will give £100 to the standard rate tax payer and £200 to a 40% tax payer.That benefit is dwarfed by raising the level that 40% is paid by £2615 yielding a further £523.So its £100 gain for hard working people and for better off tax payers.One thing you can say about the Tories they look after their own well.
Since 2010 the personal allowance has gone from £6500 to £11000 - that is a fantastic increase for the lower paid - way better than anything Labour offered. The higher rate allowance was frozen for much of that period. You're cherry-picking and on the outrage bus. Heard it all before many times since 2010 - change the record.

The history of Southern Upland Scots, the Border Reivers and the Debatable Land is a catalogue of awesomely awful stuff happening at fast forward.
I don't think the Islands were much better, were they?
A bunch of splashing about on boats up north that I'd know nothing about. I was born and raised in the heart (or possibly the head) of the Debateable Land so the stories are imprinted in me.
Has 18-24 year olds voting to Remain by 58% to 25%
and 25-34 year olds voting to Remain by 60% to 25%
Very risky for Remain to be relying on the All Young Dudes and Dudettes
Exactly what I said a few days ago. Leave must be very happy to be ahead with the people who can be relied upon to turn up at the polling stations.
That's why I'm determined to Remain. My children and grandchildren (those old enough to have an opinion) are solidly for Remain.
So even if I wasn't for Remain anyway I owe it to them to vote Remain. It's their future.
And in their future the chances are they will change their views and then wish that Leave had won.
As we get older clearly we get more sensible.
No, like, apparently, some here, they'll look back to the equivalent of a "sunny" time of their youth. In my case I was young and strong, the world was my hamster and 33% of the world map was coloured red. Except that it wasn't that good in many respects.
I am afraid you are in denial. All the polling evidence is that as people get older they get less and less enamored of the EU. Well, the sensible ones anyway.
I'm not in denial. The EU has many problems, but becoming part of a Free Tade Area consisting of the UK, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands isn't the best alternative.
Straw man attack. No one has ever suggested that. The only reason you have to resort to such idiotic comments is that you have no reasoned or logical response to make. It is a typical Europhile response and exposes the paucity of your arguments
If one of the reasons for leaving is border control, then EEA/EFTA isn't a good arguement either. Sovereignty-wise we'd be worse of in those, too.
Edited for spelling.
As I have said more times than I care to remember immigration does not even begin to register with me as a reason for leaving. And you are completely wrong about sovereignty as well.

Only among the unhinged Republican electorate.
The amount of people voting in the republican primaries has gone up dramatically.
Trump is getting out the voters.
At Republican primaries.
Are you like @Cromwell's nega-image from the mirror universe?
Yes, the turnout at republican primaries has rocketed, due to Trump. Trump is getting out the voters.
Cromwell was a stupid dipshit with no brain who allowed his dislike of one of the candidates to cloud his perception of reality.
Look, as a libertarian, I am no fan of Trump but the reality is that he has a very good chance of becoming the next president irrespective of mine, yours or even Cromwells wishes.

In previous budgets lots of little mendacious tricks were carried out which stopped the 40% tax payers from disproportionately benefiting from the rising personal allowance

It's certainly in Trump's interests to try to set expectations for a contested convention and be clear that he doesn't expect or even entertain the idea that he'd be sidelined.
He needs to be careful not to be seen to be inciting a riot though!
Does anyone really believe there's going to be such a huge improvement in the public finances during an election year ???
Not even slightly. It seems for all his planning, all the admittedly difficult choices he's had to make, ultimately if he succeeds in his primary goal or succeeds Cameron will come down entirely to being very very lucky, if it happens.
To make these targets growth here needs to be comfortably better than the new OBR figures. That will only happen if growth elsewhere exceeds expectations. That looks unlikely at the moment.
Right - so despite all his supposed skill at the job, he comes down to the exact same excuses as any other chancellor he no doubt opposed; blame the world economy when you do poorly, while trying to claim the credit when the world economy, and you, do better.
Except we're doing better than the world, so deserve credit where credit's due.
He has not done a bad job to be fair, he's managed to reduce quite a lot of govt spending without causing a recession, in the face of poor economic performance of most of our near neighbours and key trading partners.
He can reasonably be criticised from the right, but to suggest that the alternatives of Brown/Darling/Miliband/Corbyn would have done anything like as good a job is preposterous. If Brown had won the 2010 election we would most likely had a rerun of 1976 with the IMF dictating the Budget a couple of years later rather than the Chancellor.
Brown had a good history from 1997 to 2001 of really turning the screws on public spending. But it always felt like Labour had decided they were going to lose the General Election in 2010, and their last eighteen months in office became nothing more than a scorched earth policy. Screw up as much as possible for the incoming government, squander and spend with total abandonment, writes lots of cheques, abandon any form of fiscal restraint.

Well done the Lib Dems.
Not really. Combine it with changes in in-work benefits, and consider the number of low-paid workers who aren't full time and... well let's just say it's not all it's cracked up to be if your objective is to do more for the low paid.

It's called stimulus. Worked out pretty well for the US.
Maybe our resident experts can comment. As part of my IHT planning, I can now gift £4000/annum to my offspring, and they put in the lifetime ISA, and get a 25% uplift, sounds too good to be true. I was planning to do the gifting anyway, have I got this right?

Felix the increase in the personal allowance was driven by the Lib Dems. My argument is not with that increase because it was targeted on those who needed it most.by freezing the of the higher rate Now the brakes are off for the better off.Just to put it into perspective to deliver the total gain in one year of £623 would require increasing the personal allowance in one step from £11,000 to over £14000.

The new tax will put 8p on a can of Coke or Red Bull - surely it would be way more effective (at reducing consumption, rather than raising revenue) if it put 80p on a can, doubling the price.
