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???
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.
I haven't changed any settings on the iPad?
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.
Maybe it's only Mossad agents who are being targeted in this way?
Drat !! My cover has been finally blown.
More thought about your codename might have helped.
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).
In the long-term, that whole block of seats could unravel from Labour, just as the central belt of Scotland did.
The trouble is (or advantage for Labour) is that opposition is split between Plaid Cymru and UKIP.
Personally, I think a Welsh UKIP have a better chance of unpicking them, but that requires a strong Welsh leader and brand.

As they say irony, does not travel well on the Internet
I can't stand John Bercow, honestly in a few years' time we'll be saying
'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.
But I don't think he wanted the French to be eligible to vote thereafter

So not Neil Hamilton then.
But I agree - those seats are ripe for picking once a viable alternative comes along considering how several of them have been treated over the last 20 years or so.
I'm not sure UKIP is that alternative though. The voters there might move away from Labour but not to anyone who's willing to get too close to the Conservatives, and UKIP and the Tories will side together on too many things with either Labour or Plaid (or both) in power. Plaid has more potential (as Wood herself showed, though the Rhodda has form in the Welsh Assembly elections), but not quite yet: it's still too much Eistedfod and not enough coal mine.

Neil Hamilton has the ego to think it might be him.
Nigel Farage has both the ego and the insecurity to feel threatened by it.
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.
I'm not sure he has enough hair to have a new style!!
Manufacturing output has traditionally fallen during recessions and then grown afterwards. Osborne seems to have abolished that cycle and it now never grows at all.
Then there's the 'Trillion pound export target'
2012q1 UK exports £128bn March 2012 Osborne targets doubling UK exports by 2020 2016q1 UK exports £126bn
@David Herdson - you might be right. Plaid came close in Blaenau Gwent and Llanelli, and good perhaps even have taken Caerphilly if they'd targeted properly. But UKIP did quite well in places like Torfaen, and had general rises in their vote of 15-20% in most places.
It tells me that, at least, a good chunk of the Welsh valleys are seriously looking at alternatives to Labour.
(1) More immigration (2) More integration and EU centralisation (no status quo) (3) Less money for public services and more austerity (4) No economic guarantees
Six weeks left. If they move very fast, it might (just might) be do'able.
Shocked by the Queen's indiscretion about the Chinese. That could be no accident. Clearly HM is a Remainer and planned her remark as a dead-cat slam against Leave, wrenching the news cycle from Boris and his battle bus. There can be no other explanation.

It should be easy to stick to those 4-5 bullet points, but instead we get Boris waving a Cornish pasty. One thing Remain is, efficient at pushing the same few Project Fear lines.
I've only posted a couple of times on here ( the second time after a particularly pleasant bottle of Barolo and I couldn't understand it when I read it in the cold, sober light of day) but have been a long time reader of the verbal jousting at this place.
With regards the EU Referendum, I've been trying to avoid the emotional side of the arguments and look at what questions would I need to have answered in order for me to come to a logical decision.
I've got a series of 22 questions split across Economy, Sovereignty, Immigration and Other. I am sure that the PB brains trust could either answer these questions or point me to where I might get the answers.
Would it be best to post the questions in the latest thread or should I submit them to our site editors for consideration of a separate thread?

Chillax. The data I've seen over the last few days has convinced me this could be close.
Boris is more trusted than Dave amongst swing voters, and the economy isn't the absolute slam-dunk Remain thought it'd be. Albeit Leave really do need to pull their finger out and reassure on this.
Remain are *not* going to win this by 60%+ and close this down for good.
Just catching up on the Welsh Assembly news. Imagine if the sole LD member had voted for Leanne Wood. Her being First Minister would have been totally out of the blue!

I know they say everyone is connected by 6 degrees of separation but getting from Liz to Boris's battle bus is stretching it a tad.
We need to get religion out of any serious decision making on other than a personal scale at some point. At least until all the religious people agree on one faith. As it stands most people think that most other people are sacrilegious. It can't be a good base.

Might make a good thread header if the questions are thought provoking etc. Could consider sending them to Mike, or TSE, although I'm not sure what the preferred means of communication is.
Alternatively, post them in the thread below the line, and hope they don't get drowned in the chaff.

Clearly the BBC, Cameron and the Queen were all in cahoots. They waited for the biggest day of Leave's campaign - Boris and his bus and pasty - and aired it for optimum distraction value. It was a cute bit of royal cunning and, by heck, it worked!

The normal response of the Osborne fan club when faced with any inconvenient economic data is to make excuses involving 'recession in the EuroZone'.
But with the Osborne fan club usually being supporters of EVERCLOSERUNION that excuse has become as inconvenient as the economic data itself.
Some on here won't give Ozzie any credit when things go well. But quick to blame him when things don't go well. Classic plays of Labour and Kipper types.

Well, I'd say just post your questions. Wait perhaps for other wiser heads to respond first though.
If you do post them you'll probably get answers to 2 or 3, set off several arguments that will strangely finish up having parallels with Ancient Rome, and really finish up wondering why you bothered in the first place.
However... there will be just enough to bring you back

I think Norwich are like WBA, Burnley and Leicester and quite used to the highs and lows of bouncing between the top 2 divisions. It is a lot more entertaining than mid table obscurity.

Ok I am all ears...

Yes. You will usually find it in the Tools menu in Firefox, and Chrome has a similar menu in Settings.

Possible boost to Democratic congressional candidates in November now Trump is GOP candidate
How much more or less likely are you to support a candidate if he/she supports Donald Trump? All voters: Much more likely: 16% Somewhat more likely: 17% Somewhat less likely: 11% Much less likely: 38% Don’t know/unsure: 18%
It's showing up in today's Senate polls according to RCP.
Ohio R 42%, D 43% Florida R 35%, D 36% Pennsylvania R 45% D 44% (was a 9% R lead)
My simulation on the 12 swing states now suggests a 60% probability of either a hung Senate (with VP having casting vote) or a Democrat Senate. Could be good news for Hillary.

Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock?
It tells me that, at least, a good chunk of the Welsh valleys are seriously looking at alternatives to Labour.
Remain means:
(1) More immigration
(2) More integration and EU centralisation (no status quo)
(3) Less money for public services and more austerity
(4) No economic guarantees
Six weeks left. If they move very fast, it might (just might) be do'able.
With regards the EU Referendum, I've been trying to avoid the emotional side of the arguments and look at what questions would I need to have answered in order for me to come to a logical decision.
I've got a series of 22 questions split across Economy, Sovereignty, Immigration and Other. I am sure that the PB brains trust could either answer these questions or point me to where I might get the answers.
Would it be best to post the questions in the latest thread or should I submit them to our site editors for consideration of a separate thread?
Boris is more trusted than Dave amongst swing voters, and the economy isn't the absolute slam-dunk Remain thought it'd be. Albeit Leave really do need to pull their finger out and reassure on this.
Remain are *not* going to win this by 60%+ and close this down for good.

We need to get religion out of any serious decision making on other than a personal scale at some point. At least until all the religious people agree on one faith. As it stands most people think that most other people are sacrilegious. It can't be a good base.
Alternatively, post them in the thread below the line, and hope they don't get drowned in the chaff.
If you do post them you'll probably get answers to 2 or 3, set off several arguments that will strangely finish up having parallels with Ancient Rome, and really finish up wondering why you bothered in the first place.
However... there will be just enough to bring you back

Are you looking forward to repaying your share of Osborne's £172bn of excess borrowing ?
Think they are all letting Labour know they can't just assume things.
Its like British weather, you have to experience the dross to appreciate the good times.

Does anyone on the Remain side have anything positive to say ever ?
Its all rather sad IMO.
We are a sensible, sober people.
Thank goodness.
Oh dear me.
Definitely ticks a lot of boxes.
Ohio R 42%, D 43%
Florida R 35%, D 36%
Pennsylvania R 45% D 44% (was a 9% R lead)
My simulation on the 12 swing states now suggests a 60% probability of either a hung Senate (with VP having casting vote) or a Democrat Senate. Could be good news for Hillary.
