Women are a far more subjugated group than black people
?????
women are a majority of the population, a majority of the electorate and outperform men in education. They live longer lives, have better social networks and have had a century of improving prospects.
In what way are they subjugated ?
I know they are a majority.
A candidate currently polling at over 40% can be exposed talking about sexually assaulting women as if it were amusing and something to boast about and he doesn't have to resign within hours - that's how.
But its just fine and dandy for a liberal POTUS candidate to make bigoted derogatory comments about Roman Catholics.
Inflation is going to be a huge political hot potato over the next year or so ...
No it isn't. Current inflation rate is 0.6%. It has a very long way to rise to reach the target BoE of 2% and even then it can rise substantially more before anyone would bat an eyelid.
And given that interest rates are at historic lows the BoE has huge scope to intervene if the interest rate did begin to cause concern.
A 5p rise in petrol prices is not even registering at the moment with oil prices being so low.
Inflation is going to be a bigger story in the months ahead - remember that once a 'shock' event gets in the data, it stays in the monthly infation figures for the next 12 months, so next year Brexit inflation will be regularly in the news. But I agree the current 0.6% is not of concern and little has fed into recorded CPI as yet.
The elephant in the room Is the risks of a sharp rise in government financing costs - the ten-year bond rare has risen from 0.7% to 1.0% alongside the fall in the £ - which again is no reason for concern; however if the £ continues to sink there may come a point where this jumps (indicating that the inflow of finance we need to cover our significant current account deficit is drying up) and if this happens there would likely be some panic, given the size of our public debt. This is the scenario where the government would come under a lot of pressure to 'do something', or at least to reassure and try and stabilise the ship.
And that rise in govt financing costs is what companies, labouring under the near £trillion pension debt caused by looney tunes accounting forced on them by the current pension legislation, and the self same low govt financing costs in the shape of 3 century low gilt yields, need. Badly. Now.
Inflation at the sort of levels we'd be talking about and an attendant rise in 20yr gilt yields to say 3% would free up squillions in the private sector. Far from a problem it's a cause for celebration as one of the great hidden unbalances unwinds.
Where is that like button.
However you cant be too surprised if the asset rich and over leveraged who have benefited astonishingly from the sutuation in the last few yeara squeal like stuck pigs. Brexit is going to hurt them - a lot.
He really is so biased against leave his reports are becoming his own project fear and we know how that ended.
We also know that there is a majority in Parliament intent on taking down the referendum but I believe the fury of the Nation if it happened would see a terrible revenge against those mps, Scotland excluded
I think ContinuityRemain sniff blood on the Single Market.
The premise is that they respect the outcome of the vote. In reality, they are hoping that political pressure - combined with that of the market movement recently on Sterling - can force the Government to massively dilute Brexit to occurring in name only.
Are Soubry, Miliband and Farron as dangerous as the IRA though
At the current moment I would say they are rather more dangerous, given that the IRA have hibernated.
Seriously, yes I subsequently saw the t-shirts advertising his website...
"They say listen, Obama and Hillary both smell like sulfur. I never said this because the media will go crazy with it, but I've talked to people that are in protective details, they're scared of her. And they say listen, she's a frickin' demon and she stinks and so does Obama. I go, like what? Sulfur. They smell like Hell."
Clocking on for the PB morning shift brought to you speeding at 100mph through the glorious Bedfordshire countryside courtesy of Thameslink.
Which is the least glorious of English counties?
I'll get banned for this, but I'd say Bedfordshire. ISTR the only National Trust property (as opposed to land) in the county is a dovecot. It's a nice dovecot, but a dovecot nonetheless.
'Worst' county: Lincolnshite or Essex.
Most glorious county: Derbyshire.
Best county: Cornwall / Devon.
I'll get my coat.
Edit: I forgot about Lancashire; surely a candidate for 'worst' ...
The first black woman elected to the US Congress, Shirley Chisholm, who was also the first black candidate for a major party's presidential nomination (for the Democrats in 1972), said that she met far more discrimination for being a woman than for being black. Other black women politicians have said the same. Things haven't changed much on that score. People who don't get this should step back and consider. Imagine if a presidential nominee had boasted about tripping up black people rather than sexually assaulting women.
I don't really want to play Oppression Olympics.
There are places where women are treated terribly, but the US isn't generally one of them.
The effect on Trump's campaign of a tape showing him talk derogatorily about women, versus the effect of one showing him talk derogatorily about black people, is an issue that's very relevant to this election, whether anyone likes it or not. The campaign has survived him talking positively about sexually assaulting women; it will not survive him using the N-word to refer to black people.That's what I'm asserting, and whether I'm right or not has to do with the question of the relative acceptability of the oppression of the two groups in the US.
That women, generally speaking, have a worse time in Saudi Arabia than they do in the US is not so relevant to this election. You're making the wrong comparison.
I wouldn't bet on that.
That is just what you should bet on. 538 has averaged the polls to find Trump 15 points down among women voters and up five with men. Trump could win this if he weren't so determined to repel large voter groups -- whether or not they'd be worse off elsewhere.
Nope the real dangerous lunatics are those like you who are so utterly desperate for Brexit to fail they will cheer absolutely anything that looks remotely like bad news for the UK. They are the same people who were willing to sell the country out to the EU no matter how bad the deal and who are still frantically trying to find some way to overturn the referendum result. Utter scum.
James Lyons Labour asking 170 questions on brexit? set five, ten even 12 tests for but asking 170 questions makes you sound like a six year old
I bet by about 130 they're down to things like "Which is the least glorious of English counties"? cause surely they know only the insane will read that far
Johnson is polling strongly in Alaska too. If these third-party candidates have anything about them (which is questionable) the'd be spending big on these small states where they're running well into double figures. If they could get a lead in an individual state poll, it could well set off a very positive media cycle for them. That said, it's probably too late now. They should really have been doing it a month ago.

There are some really nasty tweets below it. Just wonder how Trump will react as the results are announced and he’s losing. Especially if there are one or two very narrow margins. Al Gore it won’t be!
Plato, I know you had a disagreement with me yesterday, but I must ask: do you believe everything you read on Twitter, or do you only believe it when it matches your views?

I imagine if someone haf announced they were going to place a bet on Hilary in Utah at 5/1 two days ago they'd look pretty clever right about now.
i think mcmullan is a value bet. He is so close to clinton and trump, i can see a lot of the johnson support jumping to him as viable third candidate in Utah
also, 6-1 is good for clinton. The signs are that the mormon church HATES Trump, and all the GOP senators are not supporting him. He has deep problems there
Plato, I know you had a disagreement with me yesterday, but I must ask: do you believe everything you read on Twitter, or do you only believe it when it matches your views?
its... odd. This story for example, is clearly paranoid bullshit designed to get rednecks with guns to 'make sure there isnt voter fraud' in areas with high minority support for Clinton

I spelt all this out the other day. I am attending a Board meeting today where we are going to be told that despite exceptional additional pension contributions to a closed pension scheme our deficit went up last year. Pension liabilities are a black hole for British business (Tescos more than doubled in their recent accounts) and a significant drag on investment, dividends and profits. Zero rate interest policies carried on for 7 years now are becoming very damaging.
Johnson is polling strongly in Alaska too. If these third-party candidates have anything about them (which is questionable) the'd be spending big on these small states where they're running well into double figures. If they could get a lead in an individual state poll, it could well set off a very positive media cycle for them. That said, it's probably too late now. They should really have been doing it a month ago.
I am really not sure what role they think they are playing. If there was ever an election cycle where they could be relevant it was this one but the same self indulgent nonsense has prevailed. Its worse than the Lib Dems.
no nonsense : pence doesn't believe in evolution. Carson believes the pyramids are for storing grain. that's nonsense for me. your mileage may vary
To be fair, the Pyramids may have been designed to store grain. The fact it doesn't work very well for that task just shows it was a government-driven project.

He really is so biased against leave his reports are becoming his own project fear and we know how that ended.

If Trump does win, the Guardian issue the next day will be the newspaper equivalent of a samsung galaxy.
If Trump were to win (he won't) Labour would be significantly at risk of losing their title as the most disunited major party in a western democracy (obviously one has to find a way to exclude UKIP from this). This is serious stuff.

I find that interesting. Why do you support Trump, and the EU?
I support the EU because I'm a true believer in 'the project' and so am therefore minded to see any issues as challenges to be solved rather than to run away from them. I don't think that European integration should be seen primarily as a manifestation of globalisation.
I respect the arguments of people on the libertarian right against the EU although I consider them to be utopian fantasists on the whole. As long as the EU exists I think it's strongly in the UK's geopolitical and cultural interests to be part of it - and even in extremis we shouldn't be the first out of the door.
Regarding Trump, above all I think having him as President would shock a lot of people out of a fatalistic complacency about world politics and make truly consequential decisions seem conceivable again. From my own perspective I like his ambivalence about NATO and believe that he'd be the only Western politician with the ability to lead a genuine rapprochement with Russia.

MGM owns the rights and has made it very clear that they'll sue anyone that leaks any more. Several Dems have said they'd pay anyone's $5m fine if they do. It's like a shoot-out.

A very large portion of the laws and regulations are - of course - just instituting standards from various international bodies, and they will need to be enshrined in UK in one way or another.

Firstly, I am not sure they are "misleading" if they simply show the oafish and worse things he actually said. But secondly, this is no different from san(ish) people resigning from Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet. There are many in the Republican Party who fear this man is going to permanently damage and taint their party. And they are right to fear that.

Well yes and those who want to sell into the single market will obviously have to comply with them anyway. But I do think that accepting that that volume of legislation from others into our law without us having a vote on it is unacceptable and why we will not be in the Single Market. The solution, obviously, is tariff free trade with the Single Market which should be our objective. Our exporters will still have to comply but our domestic market will only have to comply to the extent that we want it to (which may be quite a lot for the reasons you have pointed out.)

Voting machine fraud is the thing that would worry me. It's difficult to fake enough individual voters to turn an election. It's much easier to alter 100,000 or more electronic votes.
@IainDale: 21% of the EU's 40,000 laws & regulations apply to the Single Market. I did not vote to stay in 21% of the EU. End of.
A very large portion of the laws and regulations are - of course - just instituting standards from various international bodies, and they will need to be enshrined in UK in one way or another.
Unless, of course, Iain is planning on taking us outside all international trade.
Luckily for Iain Dale, as so many of the loudest Brexiteers, his living will not be affected by leaving the single market.

Some of these BOOers have bought so deeply into Boris's Bent Banana regs story that they probably would.
Trump won the nomination because he was the only candidate who told the racists in the GOP it was ok to be racist. Bottom line. 0 replies . 1,332 retweets 1,842 likes
Martin Wolf, usually the best columnist in the paper, wrote a column giving ten reasons to remain. He said:
‘Above all, those promoting departure ignore what the UK’s European partners think about the EU. Their political elites, particularly of Germany and France, regard the preservation of an integrated Europe as their highest national interests. They will want to make clear that departure carries a heavy price, which is likely to include attempts to drive euro-related financial markets out of London.’ Those who want to leave don’t ignore this at all! It is precisely because we know how much the German and French elites want more integration that we so much want to leave. Mr Wolf’s argument that we must obey because otherwise they will be horrible to us is, if he would only think about it, abject.
Labour asks 170 questions (one per day until the end of March). Apparently, totally setting out the negotiating position publicly is a good idea, in Labour land: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37622928
North carolina is an odd case. There is huge dissatisfaction with McCrory, the Republican governor, because of a law cslled HB2 which allows churchgoers to be free to legally discriminate against anyone.
HB2 has lost jobs, investment and sports on a massive scale - about $400m is known to have been lost in the last 6 months and sports events for next year have moved out of state. Voters are very annoyed.
Some estimate the economic damage could peak at $5bn in total.
Mr. 86, quite. Constantly increasing an already enormous debt is not in our interests, whether we're in the EU or not. It certainly isn't a reason to stay in.

However you cant be too surprised if the asset rich and over leveraged who have benefited astonishingly from the sutuation in the last few yeara squeal like stuck pigs. Brexit is going to hurt them - a lot.
Seriously, yes I subsequently saw the t-shirts advertising his website...
Donald Trump just told a crowd to vote on November 28th
Stop The War Coalition spokesman on Today gets his point in just before they go to the weather "... and that means opposing the West."

Labour asking 170 questions on brexit? set five, ten even 12 tests for but asking 170 questions makes you sound like a six year old

Most glorious county: Derbyshire.
Best county: Cornwall / Devon.

Those advocating Brexit in name only are almost entirely Remainers. There are also Leavers who don't want to leave the single market, but their motives are not in question.
Very no nonsense bunch. I can understand why many really don't fancy it, but others think it's what's needed.

also, 6-1 is good for clinton. The signs are that the mormon church HATES Trump, and all the GOP senators are not supporting him. He has deep problems there

I think this will most true in the rural areas of swing states.
South beds was annexed by glorious mid beds a few years back and renamed the Central Bedesian Federation (Mid Bedesia, South Bedesia and Linsladeland)
I must confess that my gast is not flabbered.
Everyday more incidents and revelations pour out. It's a serious issue - we'd be going bonkers here at just a fraction of it.
I respect the arguments of people on the libertarian right against the EU although I consider them to be utopian fantasists on the whole. As long as the EU exists I think it's strongly in the UK's geopolitical and cultural interests to be part of it - and even in extremis we shouldn't be the first out of the door.
Regarding Trump, above all I think having him as President would shock a lot of people out of a fatalistic complacency about world politics and make truly consequential decisions seem conceivable again. From my own perspective I like his ambivalence about NATO and believe that he'd be the only Western politician with the ability to lead a genuine rapprochement with Russia.

This is a perennial right wing meme, motivated largely by the desire to impede voting amongst African Americans.
MGM owns the rights and has made it very clear that they'll sue anyone that leaks any more. Several Dems have said they'd pay anyone's $5m fine if they do. It's like a shoot-out.
I'm not sure the idea that the exchange rate is beyond our power to control counts as news.

Trump is the result of choices Republicans and conservatives made, stretching back 50 years. That's the bottom line.
