Wow i have been far too engrossed in Snooker
At last council by-election that are interesting.
Alan or Boris ?
Both would probably follow the same policies.
Too early to vilify though, none are PM yet.
I too I was satisfied with Corbyn's speech, he came as close to supporting Leave as he could.
Listing all the faults of the EU and then adding Remain on the end was quite a laugh.
They look like holds to me

I'm going for 1 Con Hold, 1 Con Gain, 1 LibDem Gain
The 96-page paper, which was published without fanfare, was described by Brexit campaigners as the "Government report No.10 does not want you to read".

Please just make sure the little scamp gets his tax return correct and in to HMRC on time. We Don't want anyone getting any fancy ideas about removing him prematurely now do we?

He was cleared for good reason - she was told to go with the media to the back of the room. She then came back and got inside the Secret Service bubble surrounding Trump. So the campaign manager yanked her away from Trump after she touched him. That is an absolute no no and there is ample precedent for staffers known to the Secret Service doing this. The Secret Service contingent and campaign manager travel together on Trump's airplane.
Do not come between the candidate and his secret service contingent - it will never end well.

Exactly and when the campaign gets going after the May elections I expect that Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, PC and the unions will be hammering that message home to their supporters. "
Do we have a "bot" here ?
Given the left and Labour were running round like a pack of rampant hyenas on heat only to discover it was their own man that flecked up. Also shows total Lack of fiscal responsibility. Of course the left wouldn't see an issue with that of course as we know from the past.
Then we come to the pensions, completing the wrong form missing a section entirely..... That's when he actually found it....... After a week. Sloppy. Oh well as the left say it was an oversight so that's ok then only a tiny tiny tiny mistake of course.
. Anyhoos same way I am sure the left would have immediately accepted it was a complete oversight and one of those things, don't mention it again if this had been Cameron. (Who actually did pay all his taxes on time)
Sloppy ....
Two examples:
The idea that the EU keep the multinationals in line is laughable. It is the existence of the EU which enables so many multinationals to 'rationalise' their tax affairs so they pay very littke tax at all. It is also the existence of the EU that has revolutionised lobbying by big firms by allowing them to lobby at just one centre of power rather than 28 different ones.
He claimed Equal pay was due to EU membership. It wasn't. The Equal Pay Act was in 1970. 3 years before we joined the EU.
I do like the Independent Sketch Writer's piece on the speech

They should repeal the stupid law.

These are political operatives who make money as “brokers.” They bring money and candidates and delegates together but keep a lot of the money for themselves.
You will see them all over TV – never divulging who they favor (a new face?) because they may be telling multiple candidates and donors that they should be THE ONE.
“Really your father should run for president. Maybe not this time. But hey, Trump had no political experience either. Your daddy is a heck of a lot smarter than Donald Trump – and richer.”
“I know. Daddy, I told you so. I keep telling him he should run for president.”
Most of these birds thrive on chaos. They don’t care who gets the nomination as long as they get paid. Some of these birds are near starvation and others are so fat from feasting that they can hardly lift off the ground.

There are just bellow 3 million Turks in Germany.
Oh?......
The official complaint is there, and there is arm twisting by Turkey on the German government to follow suit or else.
It's the consequences of the policy of "Stay the course" and "Not rock the boat" when clearly there is a need to change things and to confront.

It's being eroded in this country too. Soon only America will be left.
The unwritten constitution of Britain makes government very flexible.
However the only bounds are the social norms and character of the PM, his Cabinet, and his Party's MP's. A lot is asked to trust a man's character, when the only way to find out his character is if he takes power.
That is why I prefer the american system of government, rather than the parliamentary one.
You know that politicians of all kinds may turn out to be scoundrels, but as long as you have strict rules and restrictions on their power at least you can prevent them from doing much harm.
Give us a shout when he attends and shares a platform with this guy for the ninth time. Might be worth critical consideration then
More relevant is that Corbyn also led Theresa May on the "best PM" question (though not by as much as he led Osborne) and wasn't that far behind even Boris. Panamagate seems strangely to have done damage even to Tory ministers who weren't implicated in it (indeed in Boris's case, not even a part of the government at all).
No other person has managed to get elected in as many different seats or to annoy Blair as much (except Gordon Brown of course).
My favourite moment was when Galloway defeated Oona King in 2005.
Crosby's problem is that London is a city where the minorities are now the majority, and Khan is the minority candidate.
Trying to remedy it by playing one minority against the other is very canadian, but it fails because Goldsmith and the Tories do not play the part.
Besides London doesn't have much of racial tension at the moment, but it has a lot of economic class tension and that favours Labour.
Long story short:
Goldsmith campaign: "It's all the muslims fault"
Khan campaign: "It's the economy, stupid"
"A satirical poem targeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has become an affair of state. Chancellor Angela Merkel's handling of the crisis has been abysmal and shows that she is losing her grip on power."

I think this may stump even you lot!
I've been offered a collection (reputedly one of the best in the world) of napkin rings for my Foundation. Does anyone know anything at all about the subject?
Good job that the American constitution prevented their politicians from passing apartheid laws, visiting genocide on the First Nations peoples, locking up more of their population than any comparable country, imposing the death penalty, authorising torture and tolerating massive inequality then.
They are incredibly lucky.
EU needs to be smashed. I hope Brexit is a beacon for others to seek to regain their freedoms.
Have you been to Stauffenbergstrasse yet to see the bullet-holes?
