Trump staging a recovery in betting markets, my view:
There has been a stabilization of Hillary's lead at around 5 points in my daily tracking average since Wednesday, and there is a picture emerging that Trump's campaign actually exists, so there is some good news for him that warrants that small recovery.
Smith crashing again in betting markets, my view:
I don't know why, the picture hasn't changed, Smith is a goner as usual but only now has the market found out about it ?
Last info I had was Corbyn beating Smith by 60-25 two weeks ago by someone working at Smith's phonebanks, since then I can only imagine it's been down hill for Smith especially after a pretty bad performance in the debate.
Anyway, it was always a mystery for me as to why was Smith regarded that high in the past on the markets.
The name could be kept of course but it reflects the rightwing of the Tories splitting off to join Carswellite UKIP in the Freedom Party or Woolfeite UKIP in the Patriots Party. Labour will also split, with the Corbynites in the Solidarity Party (perhaps with the Greens eventually too) while moderate Labour joins with the LDs in the Progressive Party
It just won't happen because of FPTP.
Which it seems unlikely the Tories will be in the mood to change, if the fevered dreams of 10-15 more years are realised.
I bloody well hope not. We are better than this...
The Aussies have got it right
Your opinion. Most compassionate and civilised people understand that the Aussie approach is thoroughly despicable. Ask Human Rights Watch and the like.
Wrong. - The Aussie approach is preventing thousands of deaths by drowning. If the 'morally right' approach is to encourage more to attempt the crossing and more to drown in the attempt then your interpretation of what is despicable, is a banana.

Probably not unless we get PR but you never know if the hard left stay in control of Labour and May keeps the UK in the Single Market

They can still frustrate the government, as has been seen in the last year or so. It'd only be a more frequent occurrence if they felt they had a democratic mandate.

'They can still frustrate the government, as has been seen in the last year or so. It'd only be a more frequent occurrence if they felt they had a democratic mandate.'
That's OK they can block something,but only for a limited period of time & not a finance bill.

They can still block changes like the welfare changes last year. I am not arguing they could, I'm saying that they would do it much more often.

There was a spit image of that bloke in Totnes yesterday, wearing a RUN DMC T-shirt.
I said to him I guess he was too old to have seen them live. Yeah, he said. Benefit of being an old bloke, I said. Saw them in '87 - with the Beastie Boys. Drove off in the soft-top Audi before his little head exploded and deposited dreads all over the interior....

They work and are cost effective - even when only used on the level of preventing crime.
Commonly, the anti-prison advocates state that it costs 30K to lock someone up for a year - then contrast that with the petty amounts stolen etc.
In fact, the cost of crime is vastly more than the 20 quid someone gets for a stolen car stereo or whatever. Even a simple magistrates court case - say a basic theft - will cost 5 figures... lawyers, police time, witness time, effects on victims etc.
So, locking up the habitual criminals saves a fortune. Nearly all the crime that affects people in an every day way is done by serial offenders.
One of the reasons for the big drop in crime was sneaking through the coalition (under the Lib Dems noses) the following measure - stopping bail for those caught committing crimes *while on bail*. Previously, the habituals would be caught, bailed, caught, bailed etc. Some of them achieved double digit levels of bail, previously.
While I agree with your premise (that we should prevent crime even if it is net negative in near term costs) I don't believe for a second that a simple magistrate case costs anything like £10k. Legal aid pays something like £300 for whole day defences, the prosecution isn't paid much more, and magistrates get next to nothing
Legal aid pays that - but administering the legal aid? A thick, badly written file of evidence doesn't just write itself... Building cost, security, police time... It is startling the ways costs mount up. The costs you see are just the visible portion of the iceberg. Those office blocks of civil servants don't pay for themselves...
Divy up the costs of the justice system per case and you will see what I mean.
So far I seem to have found that we are spending 17.1 billion on the criminal justice system

There are unconfirmed stories that IS have themselves a handy bit of publicity in the form of a US soldier in Afghanistan. Based on his standard issue weapon there is a fair chance he is a special operations bod. Only one unknown, was the guy alive or dead when IS got to him.
Update, sources say the guy is accounted for. One lucky boy if he is.
Jihadis love a good set piece video kill , hence their keenness to get hold of someone in the UK.

'Because then both chambers will be elected.'
On that basis a Parish council should have the same powers as a County council as they are both elected.
