politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » After another massive political 7 days in the UK & US it’s time to reflect with the latest PB/Polling Matters TV Show
The scale and pace of political events is simply breath-taking with PM May’s first PMQs, the LAB leadership race now down to two with campaigning just ratcheting up and, of course, the Republican Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

21st March 2013. That's the earliest date when you can see comments on archived PB threads. I'm guessing that's when Vanilla replaced Disqus. Still, it's a pity you can't see comments before then, apart from perhaps on the WaybackMachine site.
NO. MORE. ETONIANS.
Ever. The main reason they are likely to lose (despite being modestly competent) is because they are seen as the party of the privileged. So bad is this perception, they are likely to lose to to the Worst Labour Leader since Michael Foot.
The next Tory leader has to be 1, working or lower middle class, and/or 2. a woman/ethnic minority. Better still, three out of four.
And they need to repeat this for a generation. No more Etonians. EVAH."

Well Sean, it may be a year late but you've got your wish.

Just bumped into one of my neighbours at the local Morrisons on Sheppey. Matt is an elderly Labour activist. He told me he'd been telling at one of the local polling stations.
I enquired as to activity and he said voting had been brisk (I was told the same at the station I voted in). I enquired as to how it was going for his bloke and he just shrugged and said "ok". He then added they thought they may trail in 3rd behind the Tories and UKIP. Must admit I was surprised to hear that.
As an aside I told him I dreaded the thought of a Miliband led government. His response; "he's just an ordinary, comprehensive schooled bloke, just like us". I clearly looked shocked, as he asked why I'd pulled the face. I explained I didn't think living in a £2M house was particularly ordinary. His respone; "you're talking rubbish, son".
They clearly don't like facts in the Labour party....

"If you follow our laws you are welcome but if you practise Sharia then you are not welcome in a free society ."
He also says he had a chat in a burger joint and stated he would not give the name of the company but said that the lady that gave me the Big Mac told me this ......

From the title it doesn't appear to be that controversial, why it was deleted ?
I made the change and all was well. And made my next meeting
The old comments are actually in the Wordpress database. If I didn't have a very serious job, and a lack of 20 hours to do the work, I'd write a little web app to allow old browsing of comments...
Hmmm...
Although quite possible I'm misremembering using Disqus on other sites.
New quest, use the phrase 'Vapid Bilge' on radio
The demise of the site was predicted many times but we made it through to the beautiful sunny uplands of Vanilla
@StigAbell: "History of politics" includes...
MLK: I had a dream.
Lincoln: Gettysburg Address.
JFK: Ask not what your country. https://t.co/lPsvlIdbSr
Assuming nothing major happens in the meantime...!
Never been able to solve it despite help from other PBers
Dear MikeSmithson,
Just a reminder — your site will be updated to the newest version of Disqus on Wednesday, March 13th. You’re still using an older, less cool version of Disqus on your site, but don’t worry; the update is painless. It requires no work (or website changes) on your end. You can also adjust your community settings here.
That is Ed Miliband. Of Ed-Stone fame. The man who couldn't even eat a bacon sandwich in public without ridicule.
A third of Labour's voters have left compared to that Titan?
Seriously? It's like some desperate attempt to sound hip.

There is plenty of material for Erdogan to accuse the americans, and members of his government have already accused the USA.
But as time passes the more I believe that Erdogan staged the coup himself.
Trump: 0
Johnson: 1250
The Field: 20
My mother would say, “Put on a proper suit, do up your tie, and sing the national anthem!”
IIRC he lost by 40 odd votes whilst the Greens polled over 1,600 votes
May: Hulk, Corbyn: puny human.
