'Napoleon had a Bercow complex'
I'm too busy watching The World at War. It's my favourite episode, The Fall of France.
I enjoy films with happy endings.
Yup a really happy ending for the UK, we dodged a bullet. Churchill, the great fan of European integration wanted the UK and France to merge into a single country.
You need to get Labour away from the power and patronage they have had as their assumed birthright in Wales for a century. That is the way the other parties will break them for good. See Scotland for how it works.
Scotland has the SNP to do the job. Wales? All it requires is for disparate parties from opposite ends of the political spectrum not to act like numpties. What could possibly go wrong?

you can never trust the Conservatives on Europe.
Well he was a Liberal, and he was double defector, what do you expect?
He will reshuffle to a unity Cabinet, Osborne, Javid and possibly Hammond will make way for the Leave big guns.
Can someone reconcile for me
1. Cameron will promote Leavers in a reshuffle 2. Cameron will be gone 24 hours after the vote
?
It's gonna be a helluva day....
Why should anyone have to reconcile something for either of you ? The leadership of the Conservative Party is for the MPs and members to resolve. I don't care enough about David Cameron to make his future or that of the Party he leads a relevance regarding how I'll vote in the EU Referendum.

On the other hand he decided to fight a certain Mr Hitler and all the hounds of hell, when absolutely no-one else would, or could.
ABrooke re Osborne.. He wasn't crap in front of the Finance Committee..they couldn't lay a finger on him.. he was polite,cool and informative..in spite of the lack of couth among the members.

Sort of on that topic of war in France... a good friend went to the Oshkosh Air Show in Wisconsin last year. Someone he knew had bought a P-51 Mustang and my friend not only got to sit in it, but they met an old boy who was in his 90's. He had flown P-51s in WW2. Over dinner, he told them of how he was chasing a Messerschmitt over Paris. To try to escape, the Luftwaffe pilot flew under the Eiffel tower. So this old boy had followed him under...
Invasion of France, Barbarossa, Kursk, Battle of the Bulge.
That's the kind of Liberal MP you need.
Indeed, I'm off to speak to the Remain team in Manchester and see what I can do to keep the UK in our rightful place in the EU.
We should remodel the EU like the Seventh Coalition, unite Europe to give the French a good hiding, which was of course led by someone who was an Old Etonian Tory Prime Minister.

let's face it the english can't actually win wars without someone to do their thinking for them
Certainly not that war, Castlereagh and Wellington both being Irish. One also thinks of General Ross, unfortunately killed in America in 1814. Later on, in Victorian times, Paddy Gough (who had fought as a junior officer in the Peninsula and was the son of a Colonel) became commander in chief in India and won some notable victories - mad a hatter, mind you.
As a fine point of interest a survey of the army found that 42% of serving soldiers were Irish, and only slightly more than 30% were English.
Something really wrong with the site. All the nesting has opened up so threads are a huuuuuugee length. The page Is spread completely across the screen such that the writing is so small you cant read it If you expand the page to get larger text you then have to scroll all the way along the line and then back for the next sentence. The edit function is so small you can see to edit When you finally get the cursor into to edit you can't move it. I know this site is free but it's as good as now unreadable and unusable.

British Indian Army was majority Indian, making the Rising of 1857 effectively an Indian Civil War.
Nicholson strode into the British mess tent at Jullunder, coughed to attract the attention of the officers, then said, "I am sorry, gentlemen, to have kept you waiting for your dinner, but I have been hanging your cooks." He had been told that the regimental chefs had poisoned the soup with aconite. When they refused to taste it for him, he force fed it to a monkey - and when it expired on the spot, he proceeded to hang the cooks from a nearby tree without a trial.[9]

Cambridge University is embroiled in a race row after students complained about an African-themed dinner which was based on the Lion King and invited guests to "Bring your Rafikis along".
The Africa Formal dinner saw undergraduates from Queens' College dine on traditional foods and drinks from Senegal, Morocco, South Africa and Nigeria.
But some students called for a boycott of the traditional end-of-year event because it represents 'cultural appropriation' rather than appreciation.

Its a f##king Disney Cartoon....take up the cultural inaccuracies with the fascist mouse.
Do these students merit such attention? I think we may be in danger of becoming addicted to outrage about outrage.
I would say no, but then look at the whole Rhodes Must Fall. It was in the media for weeks on end, in particular the Guardian.
It has become a real issue in the US, especially among a section of liberals, and appears to be "coming over here". Stephen Fry made some very good points about this in a recent interview in the US. It is one thing to complain, but the "regressives" are taking this stuff to the nth degree and making demands it be shut down and stopped or else.

It is looking fine in IE, Firefox and Chrome.
I am using chrome on an IPad it's the latest type of IPad and I have never had a problem previously. It seems ok on the first set of comments but as soon as I go for more comments it goes berserk. There is no problems with any other site I go to and there was no problem here until last Sunday. Something changed then.
Re Wales, worth noting that Welsh Labour had a poor election in many ways. Obviously any party will (or at least, should) look to maximise their return within the electoral system operating, and Labour did that. Even so, were the split between constituency and list AMs the same as for the Scottish Parliament i.e. constituency members making up 57% rather than 67%, Leanne Wood would almost certainly be First Minister now, assuming all else is equal.
Of course, all else might very well not be equal. Presumably Carwyn Jones thought that he was near-enough a shoo-in for the job being only one short; had he finished four or five short, he might have worked a bit harder to do a deal.

Never seen that part before. I have a setting of folding quotes 1 level deep. No idea if that's right or wrong. However now I have returned back to PB site the comments edit box has returned to the full size
WTF?
EDIT - large nesting on first page now so all comments show all nesting so that's changed also??? Almost impossible to read and use site now.

I see Bernie Sanders won the West Virginia primary, outpolling not only Clinton but 2012's anti-establishment Democrat candidate, Keith Judd, who won 41 per cent despite not running a campaign and being a convicted felon serving a prison sentence.

There is no problems with any other site I go to and there was no problem here until last Sunday. Something changed then.
I haven't changed any settings on the iPad?
Ditto.
Well at least that means it's not me screwing up some settings here though that's not much good for those with this issue.
I would say no, but then look at the whole Rhodes Must Fall. It was in the media for weeks on end, in particular the Guardian.
It has become a real issue in the US, especially among a section of liberals, and appears to be "coming over here". Stephen Fry made some very good points about this in a recent interview in the US. It is one thing to complain, but the "regressives" are taking this stuff to the nth degree and making demands it be shut down and stopped or else.
Have you seen the 'TriggleyPuff' incident during a debate on one of the US campuses?
Invasion of France, Barbarossa, Kursk, Battle of the Bulge.
That's the kind of Liberal MP you need.
Indeed, I'm off to speak to the Remain team in Manchester and see what I can do to keep the UK in our rightful place in the EU.
We should remodel the EU like the Seventh Coalition, unite Europe to give the French a good hiding, which was of course led by someone who was an Old Etonian Tory Prime Minister.
I think you'll find it was an Ulsterman put the seventh coalition together
let's face it the english can't actually win wars without someone to do their thinking for them
Certainly not that war, Castlereagh and Wellington both being Irish. One also thinks of General Ross, unfortunately killed in America in 1814. Later on, in Victorian times, Paddy Gough (who had fought as a junior officer in the Peninsula and was the son of a Colonel) became commander in chief in India and won some notable victories - mad a hatter, mind you.
As a fine point of interest a survey of the army found that 42% of serving soldiers were Irish, and only slightly more than 30% were English.
Good to see you Mr L
of course if you want mad as a hatter you could try Brigadier General John Nicholson
British Indian Army was majority Indian, making the Rising of 1857 effectively an Indian Civil War.
Nicholson strode into the British mess tent at Jullunder, coughed to attract the attention of the officers, then said, "I am sorry, gentlemen, to have kept you waiting for your dinner, but I have been hanging your cooks." He had been told that the regimental chefs had poisoned the soup with aconite. When they refused to taste it for him, he force fed it to a monkey - and when it expired on the spot, he proceeded to hang the cooks from a nearby tree without a trial.[9]
Changed days now , not many like that left we would give them UK passports and jail the General for political incorrectness.
Interesting article, though I think on the Tory side Hammond more likely than Farron. Chuka will likely wait until after the general election before launching another leadership bid
ABrooke re Osborne.. He wasn't crap in front of the Finance Committee..they couldn't lay a finger on him.. he was polite,cool and informative..in spite of the lack of couth among the members.
PBers..on a very sombre and totally non Partisan note can I pass the following information..Recently a very good friend of mine was diagnosed with a terminal cancer..which apparently began in his Prostate..he has just a short time left with us. In 2005 ,during a routine BUPA check up my Doctor discovered unusual growth patterns on my Prostate...I know..its suppertime and offputting but stay with it..subsequent examinations led him to tell me that I had four months to live..or as he put it "You will not be opening any Xmas pressies"..this was in August. Fortunately or otherwise.. depending on your political stance..I survived..Good Surgery and a brilliant American Doc and his team...I would therefor urge all PBers..male of course ..above the age of forty to have a PSI blood test and a digital examination..caught early this killer can be delayed..Do it tomorrow...Lefties should wait a week or two..xx
"A Brexit vote could “unravel” the European Union and endanger peace and stability in the region, two former senior US officials from Democratic and Republican administrations warned on Wednesday."
Something really wrong with the site. All the nesting has opened up so threads are a huuuuuugee length. The page Is spread completely across the screen such that the writing is so small you cant read it If you expand the page to get larger text you then have to scroll all the way along the line and then back for the next sentence. The edit function is so small you can see to edit When you finally get the cursor into to edit you can't move it. I know this site is free but it's as good as now unreadable and unusable. Have to move the page way over to the right to even find the post comment button.
It all started last Sunday as far as I can tell and has got steadily worse. This is actually the worse I have seen this ever since I started on the site which is a few years now.
Mods can someone do something ? Please???

I have the same issue on my iPad with getting more comments. And it happened around the same time. Ditto re the nesting. And it's on both IE and Chrome.

Re Wales, worth noting that Welsh Labour had a poor election in many ways. Obviously any party will (or at least, should) look to maximise their return within the electoral system operating, and Labour did that. Even so, were the split between constituency and list AMs the same as for the Scottish Parliament i.e. constituency members making up 57% rather than 67%, Leanne Wood would almost certainly be First Minister now, assuming all else is equal.
Of course, all else might very well not be equal. Presumably Carwyn Jones thought that he was near-enough a shoo-in for the job being only one short; had he finished four or five short, he might have worked a bit harder to do a deal.
Someone posted that labour's vote in Wales is 'super efficient'. Maybe labour's enemies noticed this.
And it is: 29/60 seats on a list vote of 31.5% and a constituency vote of 34.7% - hardly PR.
However, it does rely on holding virtually the entirety of that great South Wales block of seats (even losing that one seat to Wood in the Rhondda was the difference between Jones being back in power and at best having to wait).
Problem is Fallon made a fool of himself with his comments on the Mayoral election in London, Greg Clark was utterly useless on QT two weeks ago and Justine Greening has had a lot of bad press because her department has given money to stupid causes. My hope would be for Dominic Raab if the party wants to take a chance or Gove if it wants to play safe.
I absolutely agree about Dominic Raab. He gave another very good performance on Daily Politics the other day.
Raab is a good communicator.
Frivolous comment alert: I also noticed he has had what looked to me like a new haircut. We always used to joke when I worked in Town that a new suit or hair cut must mean a job interview. Perhaps he thinks the generational shift might just play in his favour.

Suddenly Welsh politics is interesting. It's only taken about a century.

Not that it should make a blind bit of difference to the UK either way but perceptions matter.
It may not make a difference to the UK but if Turkey lets through a load of migrants in the next few weeks and we have the same pictures on our screens as happened last year then that might affect the immigration issue's salience in the EU referendum.

Matthew Goodwin pointed out something interesting from recent Ipsos Mori Graph. Remainers have a FFS immigration ceiling. If EU immigration numbers rise from here, even in a quite small way, there is a big flake off to don;t know or even leave.
And here's the thing. It may soon revealed that immigration numbers have been much much larger than those that have already been sending some into orbit.

The ONS publish the latest migration figures on Thursday 26 May. That will be quite an interesting day in the campaign.
A sad story but fortunately with a happy ending. Not sure about having a PSA test without symptoms though. A few false positives still, and it unleashes a load of tests/procedures. I'll wait until the urology surgeons recommend it as routine.
If Brexit is going to result in people shunning us in trade , terrorists coming around and kicking our doors in and the potential for world war but none of this will happen if we remain........

Cambridge University is embroiled in a race row after students complained about an African-themed dinner which was based on the Lion King and invited guests to "Bring your Rafikis along".
The Africa Formal dinner saw undergraduates from Queens' College dine on traditional foods and drinks from Senegal, Morocco, South Africa and Nigeria.
But some students called for a boycott of the traditional end-of-year event because it represents 'cultural appropriation' rather than appreciation.
