Note that Michigan is entirely "optical scan"/ pencil & paper - hence the "vote hack" line is pure bunkum.
The GOP governor candidate in North Carolina is also losing disgracefully.
This whole recount and attack the electors to get them to change their vote attempt is just frustration on the part of the Democrats, and a refusal to accept the result.
The losses the party has suffered in terms of governorships and state assemblies since Obama was elected is amazing. They also have fewer members of the US House than at any time since the 1920s. Of the Democratic House caucus, 2/3 are from the west coast and New England. Worse, 1/3 of the caucus is from just 3 states - CA, NY and MA. They are not really a national party at this point. To ram it home, the House leader is from CA, the Senate leader is from NY.
The party is in serious trouble and needs to take a critical look at its message and values. They will be back at some point, but all this nonsense is not going to help.
T in the Park does seem to have a rather high death rate if you go on media reports, although it may be statistically normal for a very large gathering of people in an unhealthy environment.
I think the law prevents "disturbance" of nesting birds listed in the protected species schedule. The question is whether 100 000 rock music listening campers suddenly appearing in your peaceful field counts as a "disturbance"
Funny, I don't remember the outrage bus stopping on the right side of the road when Paul Dacre was labelling judges "enemies of the people" for having the temerity to perform their job in the way that he didn't like.
Mr. Meeks, can't speak for others, but I did criticise that headline whilst also stating my view that the judiciary was being rather precious and criticism of the judiciary is not something new or terrifying.

My favourite ever letters from a bank was in 2009.
The first letter from RBS concerned my then current account
'Due to the challenging economic circumstances and low interest rates we are reducing the rate of interest which we pay on your current account'
A few days later another letter from RBS, this time about my credit cards with them
'Due to the challenging economic circumstances we are INCREASING the interest rates which we charge you on your credit cards'

I can't speak for others but I asked exactly the same question on the "enemies of the people" thread:
On the headline, whilst it is no criminal matter - and should not be... could the judges sue the Mail for libel as a civil matter ? If they can I think the Mail decided this was obviously a risk worth taking.
They could but the Daily Mail would argue fair comment. I think the Daily Mail would win.

Yes. When was the ban instigated?
Not sure, I think there's a relief period for companies that were owned/part owned by the Government.
I've been buying off the shelf companies since 2000 from places like Formations Direct, and the restrictions have been in place since then at least.
Tony Blair has held private talks with Nick Clegg ahead of the former Labour prime minister’s return to frontline politics with a new centre-ground campaign.
Is this really a thing?
If the new centre-ground campaign comes complete with a return for Mr Campbell, I'm not very interested.
Don't know that I would be anyway. A new centre-ground campaign fronted by has-beens sounds like an old campaign to me. A new campaign needs fresh faces.

@Pulpstar The sting of Alastair Campbell's jibe is not that Paul Dacre is a murderer but that his worldview is closer to that of a murderous far right extremist than his Labour MP victim.

Whether this is fair comment or a statement of fact is, I would have thought, up for discussion. Given the Mail's article on the possible motivations of Thomas Mair today, I would not particularly care to take up the cudgels on Paul Dacre's behalf.
OTOH most of the Mail coverage of the case has been of Jo Cox being an honourable and brave MP. I don't think Alistair Campbell is correct in his assertion, even if the DM appears to think a belief held by the murderer a reasonable one, if controversial. That belief may have been a motivation for the murder.

Isn't fair comment the US defence? English libel law is so wide-reaching that dictators and oligarchs come here to take advantage of it and silence their enemies. British wealthy people also like it because they can suppress the truth:
Robert Maxwell successfully sued over allegations that he was stealing from his pension fund; It was Private Eye that lost, I think. Lance Armstrong successfully sued the Sunday Times re reports that he was taking performance-enhancing drugs A copper successfully sued Private Eye over claims that he was a paedophile - 20 years later, guess what he turned out to be.
I prefer the US situation. Donald Trump would find it extremely difficult to suppress press comment if he turns out to be doing things that people consider wrong. The UK govt since the Leveson report has repeatedly tried to muzzle the press.
Mr. Brooke, the IFS has an odd view of the world. Had a hard time taking them seriously since they claimed an early Osborne Budget wasn't progressive because it involved welfare cuts. Which sounds fair enough, but the cuts were forecast due to more people being employed and therefore unemployment benefit being reduced.
Jokes aside, what tiny difference there is here is I suspect nothing more than Leavers being slightly older and poorer than Remainers, on average.
Next.
The significant difference is between those who go without pants or knickers - the "Not Applicables".
Apparently 9% of Kippers go commando. Only 1% of LibDems go without - in spite of being more liberal.

I lost interest in the IFS after a spokeman sounded off on the BBC that the IFS had identified a small shortfall in the funding of a government department (not an important one), which if left uncorrected for a few decades would add up to not very much at all.

Sloppy fourths never good, even more so in this context.
That this thread was posted in the first place - and FFS, is still up - tells us much more about the state of ongoing Remainer hurt than it does about Leaver undies.

Is anyone outraged? Two of the most deeply dislikeable people in British public life are having a go at each other - entertained is surely nearer the mark.
Having read some of the coverage the murderous fascist freak (just to make my opinion of him clear) did have an "interesting" journey to the murder. As well as his far right associations going back to the 80's is has been reported that he was upset about his mother entering into a relationship with a black man. His mixed race half brother says he never heard any racism but there seems to be a suggestion that he was raised by his grandmother because of this. She died years ago and apparently the council were asking questions about his habitation of a 3 bed semi council house.
A bit shitty of the Mail's subs to use that headline. Have we had the Guardian headline yet about how that poster triggered Mair?
Who knows. But only one person is responsible for this and he will die in prison. Good. Fuck him.

Dacre's crime is that he doesn't share Campbell's politics, and vociferously opposed the Blair Government.

She died years ago and apparently the council were asking questions about his habitation of a 3 bed semi council house.
A bit shitty of the Mail's subs to use that headline. Have we had the Guardian headline yet about how that poster triggered Mair?
Who knows. But only one person is responsible for this and he will die in prison. Good. Fuck him.
Dacre's crime is that he doesn't share Campbell's politics, and vociferously opposed the Blair Government.
I lost interest in the IFS after a spokeman sounded off on the BBC that the IFS had identified a small shortfall in the funding of a government department (not an important one), which if left uncorrected for a few decades would add up to not very much at all.
On some issues the IFS is more left wing than Labour. For example they think that all inheritance should be taxed and there should be no Nil Rate Band.

Who said Dacre had committed a crime?
No-one, it's a figure of speech.
But there is plenty of innuendo out there that Dacre is a Mair sympathiser, and perhaps even inspired him.
The £122 billion "cost" of Brexit isn't perhaps the killer line some Remainers think it is.
If one was being sheer bloody minded about it, one could counterargue that saving £7bn a year of net EU contributions means the UK would be in profit on Brexit by 2037, increasing year-after-year thereon after. So it's an investment.
The Daily Mail story is no different to the backlash articles that appear on the Guardian website hours after a Muslim nut job has killed a load of people in France.

TimT I suspect will be rooting for Mr Cousins this afternoon in Big D.
The losses the party has suffered in terms of governorships and state assemblies since Obama was elected is amazing. They also have fewer members of the US House than at any time since the 1920s. Of the Democratic House caucus, 2/3 are from the west coast and New England. Worse, 1/3 of the caucus is from just 3 states - CA, NY and MA. They are not really a national party at this point. To ram it home, the House leader is from CA, the Senate leader is from NY.
The party is in serious trouble and needs to take a critical look at its message and values. They will be back at some point, but all this nonsense is not going to help.
The GOP gov in NC - just give in gracefully.
I think the law prevents "disturbance" of nesting birds listed in the protected species schedule. The question is whether 100 000 rock music listening campers suddenly appearing in your peaceful field counts as a "disturbance"
The osprey is a mighty fine bird.
In Gibraltar you can't register a company with Gibraltar (or even Gib) in its name without the the written permission of the Chief Minister.
I've applied for this successfully for a new spinoff company but it needed a full written justification complete with exposure, reputational risk profile etc etc.

On a comment system I use elsewhere I'd certainly vote that +1 Informative

The first letter from RBS concerned my then current account
'Due to the challenging economic circumstances and low interest rates we are reducing the rate of interest which we pay on your current account'
A few days later another letter from RBS, this time about my credit cards with them
'Due to the challenging economic circumstances we are INCREASING the interest rates which we charge you on your credit cards'
At least we won't have these problems when Khan is Mayor.
Ditto website names you can buy/use too.

I've been buying off the shelf companies since 2000 from places like Formations Direct, and the restrictions have been in place since then at least.
Don't know that I would be anyway. A new centre-ground campaign fronted by has-beens sounds like an old campaign to me. A new campaign needs fresh faces.
The shame, the ignominy, wait, I'll blame auto-correct
Funny how the indignation bus seemed empty when Goldsmith was making out Sadiq Khan was a sympathiser with Islamic Terrorism.
Just try going to Companies House and asking to set up British Topping Limited or Royal Topping Company.
Or you could cut you're hand's of.

I saw a lovely badge-like thing on the back of someone's anorak recently.
It said "Truth doesn't give a f*** about your opinion".

If polls were accurate, then Leave would have lost.
Perhaps the 1% of women thought their underwear choice didn't count as "knickers" or "underpants"?
BBC leads with iffy forecast which even they accept could be a load of bollocks
Robert Maxwell successfully sued over allegations that he was stealing from his pension fund; It was Private Eye that lost, I think.
Lance Armstrong successfully sued the Sunday Times re reports that he was taking performance-enhancing drugs
A copper successfully sued Private Eye over claims that he was a paedophile - 20 years later, guess what he turned out to be.
I prefer the US situation. Donald Trump would find it extremely difficult to suppress press comment if he turns out to be doing things that people consider wrong. The UK govt since the Leveson report has repeatedly tried to muzzle the press.
Apparently 9% of Kippers go commando.
Only 1% of LibDems go without - in spite of being more liberal.
Edit: I see Charles got there before me.
Edit edit: I see Alistair got there before Charles.
Edit edit edit: I see Sir Passmore got there before Alistair. I give up.

But that would be almost as silly.
Not many of them around now, esp since taches fell out of fashion.
