Technical question: I am registered for a postal vote. But I'd like to vote in person for LEAVE. To make my tiny mark, to register my protest against the TRAITORS who seem destined to win (even if they will lose the aftermath, horribly)
Is it too late for me to ask for an on-the-day vote? Grateful for advice.
Iirc You can take your postal vote and put it in the ballot box on the day.
Yes, take your paperwork to any polling station in your local council area, show the staff there that you have a postal vote, show them the ballot paper with the official mark. Then go to the booth put your cross against your choice and put your ballot paper in the box in the usual way.
Just two hours to go before Mourinho is appointed as Man Utd manager, supposedly.
Hello top four finish, probably top two. Goodbye attacking, entertaining football.
I give him two years maximum in the job, assuming the rumours are correct and he gets it.
Peter,
Do you think Man Utd are value for the Premiership at 15/2?
PS Thanks for asking the question .... you've spurred me on to back them myself at 15/2 with SkyBET.
Not one for me.
ManU are more than a one season project.
Chelsea or Man City in my opinion. I think Leicester (25/1) and West Ham (66/1) are both worth an ew on Skybet.
Some might have said the same about Leicester. I think Chelsea will struggle to make the top three. Both Leicester and West Ham to finish between 6th and 10th imo.
Leicester won the league by 10 points, and have rich owners with Champions League to offer signings. West Ham had a strong finish to the season too. Neither are nailed on but both offer value on these odds ew.
David Cameron’s campaign to keep the UK in the EU appears to be working as Conservative voters switch to the remain camp, the latest Opinium/Observer referendum poll suggests.
With a month to go before voters decide whether Britain should stay in or leave the EU, Opinium puts remain four points ahead on 44%, with leave on 40% and 14% undecided. At the beginning of April, leave had a four-point lead.
Remain now has a substantial lead among Conservative voters with 48% of Tory backers saying they want to stay in the EU, compared with 41% who want to leave.
This is a considerable turnaround since the first Opinium/Observer referendum poll in early April, which showed 44% of Conservative voters in favour of leaving against 39% who backed staying in.
Adam Drummond, of Opinium Research, which carried out an online poll of 2,008 adults between 17 and 19 May, said: “There does seem to have been some move towards staying in the EU, particularly given that ours is an online methodology which typically shows a closer race than polls conducted on the phone. The change comes mainly from Conservative voters who have moved from narrowly backing Brexit at the end of April to a large lead for remain.”
I imagine the reality that hit Paul Mason has finally hit Tory voters. If 'Leave' win the centrist leadership of Cameron & co will be replaced by the Tories now leading the OUT campaign and I suspect that's a deal breaker
Well, the fans won't have to travel far to get home...
The Scottish Football Association has said it was "appalled" by scenes of disorder after Hibs' historic victory over Rangers in the Scottish Cup final.
This is a difficult one to prove one way or the other. I would point out that at around the same time that the railways were privatized the Tories introduced the fuel duty escalator. I read recently that some train operators are a bit worried about oil prices staying low for an extended period. So clearly they think the two could be connected.
People always miss the most obvious way in which the EU helped screw up rail nationalisation.
Undoubtedly nationalisation has been good for the railways but it could have been so much better. Each region could have been returned to private hands in the same way they had been run prior to nationalisation with a company responsible for everything including track and infrastructure. That would have removed the idiotic ability of a rail company to blame the infrastructure for their own mistakes.
But the EU rules on vertical separation prevented that from happening and so led to the daft situation we now have of different companies jointly responsible for services on the same piece of line and blaming each other for failings.
Do you mean 'nationalisation' or 'privatisation'?
I meant privatisation but by the time I noticed I had made a mistake it was too late to change.
A kinder person would of course have ignored my obvious faux pas but you always were a cruel man Robert. :-)

In the Danish referendum, the polls weren't consistently against the pro-euro side till the 26th of November 2015. The referendum took place on the 3rd of December.
I'm not saying this means Leave will win - the Remains leads may lengthen and become more consistent over time. But I don't think we can tell much from current polling.

It's interesting that they are using BoJo as the face of out rather than Michael Gove who I imagine is more toxic to Labour ( and ironically probably less toxic to centrist Tories than BoJo)

Ironic really as that's roughly what Watson did to the last three Labour leaders. It's just, because he's (1) utterly incompetent and (2) a complete knob, it's never quite happened for him. The best he's managed is being Jeremy Corbyn's stooge. I do hope he's enjoying it as much as such a loathsome person as he is deserves.

Polls tend to show 2015 Tory voters slightly more likely to vote Leave than present Tory voters, probably as a few of them have now shifted to UKIP. However I have long held the view Tory voters, not Labour voters, are the key to the referendum, Leave needs a clear majority of Tory voters to back Leave to win, if it is close or Remain slightly ahead, as with Opinium tonight, Remain should edge it

Everything is terminal for Leave.

It's interesting that they are using BoJo as the face of out rather than Michael Gove who I imagine is more toxic to Labour ( and ironically probably less toxic to centrist Tories than BoJo)
And that's a Remain slam-dunk.
