And saying that you think that your opponents are misplaying their hand is not the same as whinging about facing opposition!
Methinks OGH's prejudice is showing through...
Because the EU produces none* of these things internally it has zero rated all of them. This drags down their weighted average. I think the manufactured goods tells a truer tale.
* None is not quite true. There is obviously some oil and gas production in the EU - it just accounts for only a tiny proportion of consumption.
Surely reminding people that there is also a Labour candidate is negative for the LD as it splits the vote.
I note that it sames that Sir James left "assets" worth £1.2bn, but says nothing about any associated debts...
Just imagine the drop in the Labour share of the vote if Corbyn and turns up and campaigns in person, have you seen his personal ratings?
Richmond-upon-Thames is not one of those places.
If that's right, won't Mr Corbyn be vulnerable to being expelled?

Alternatively, I spent half of today watching and listening to GP2 cars, some good noise pollution there too - as opposed to the fancy-pants hybrid F1 cars, which are now really quiet.
He had it stolen from him. I've never eaten Marmite since

I wonder if Lib Dem wealth bashers will be able to clarify at what amount inheritance becomes something to be ashamed of.

This can only result in one of two outcomes a) lib dems lose narrowly as labour split the vote b) labour get panned despite the fact corbyn showed up.
I don't see how this is a boost for the lib dems. He will convince a few labour leaning voters back in to voting for labour who may have otherwise voted lib dem.
Labour would have done better to field a pro brexit candidate, and give the lib dems free run on the pro EU vote.

And it may even give Wolmar a boost...
Makes you wonder what Stein is playing at.

It seems that he is a pretty weak candidate who did himself no favours with his Mayoral campaign. Will people in Richmond bother voting turning up to vote for him? Are his supporters as enthused about Heathrow as the opposition are regarding Brexit?
My gut feeling was he should be a dead certainty but now I think the lib dem candidate has a genuine chance and at 5/2 the odds are okay.
The Eurozone periphery all exports more than it imports these days.
Your use of the word 'desperately' attracted by attention.
As an analogy I go to the toilet regularly but occasionally I desperately need to go to the toilet. And if I didn't manage to do so then disaster would ensue.
Are the Chinese facing that sort of disaster if their attempts at getting money out of China fail.

EU Citizens pay to get 'UK associate citizenship'?
We should have a 100 question survey, and then an algorithm that pots you asking with the one six hundredth of the population most like you. It would be entirely algorithmic, so no chance of gerrymandering. And it would ensure that you, and your fellow constituents, actually had things in common.
I've answered enough polls & surveys to know how hard it is to fit oneself into whatever categories the surveyors offer.
What's the old Alan Sugar line? A/S/L? Age, Sex, Location. Get those three in and you can start an administration: heck, you could do an entire census with just those three if you were so inclined.
[1] We had great fun designing metrics of cohesion. I came up with one called "quintessence". God knows what it was, but it sounded kewl. Unfortunately it was less popular than cold sick.
Of course, offering a paid for EU citizenship is just the EU doing what I've suggested all along: allowing the free market to work for immigration.
You suggested Ridge wine several weeks ago. On my travels today I stumbled across a bottle of chardonnay. Unfortunately I will not be drinking it anytime soon so cannot comment on it. I do however, need to buy some of their Cabernet Sauvignon but have been awfully lazy lately and haven't had time.
Cheers for the suggestion though.
