However there was the issue of unfair competition with local food vendors.
I agree, 2018 looks ever more likely to be a General Election year and Laddies/Corals odds of 3/1 appear quite generous as things currently stand especially when coupled with Mrs May's worsening Brexit crisis. I've lumped on!
Man, Lewis Hamilton is one of the greats, but I still feel sometimes with him, as with some other greats, people go overboard - his numbers are already among the very best, so there's a need to explain why that's not enough.

I wonder how long before British angles start emerging to this FBI investigation.
Already being looked into, from this June.
Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said the former Ukip leader had raised the interest of FBI investigators because of his relationships with individuals connected to both the Trump campaign and Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder whom Farage visited in March.
WikiLeaks published troves of hacked emails last year that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign and is suspected of having cooperated with Russia through third parties, according to recent congressional testimony by the former CIA director John Brennan, who also said the adamant denials of collusion by Assange and Russia were disingenuous.
Farage has not been accused of wrongdoing and is not a suspect or a target of the US investigation. But being a person of interest means investigators believe he may have information about the acts that are under investigation and he may therefore be subject to their scrutiny.

However there was the issue of unfair competition with local food vendors.
Questions persist over where all that food came from given the procurement records indicate far too little was purchased - did the so called 'Son of God' use sub par supplies from unsourced vendors when it became apparent he had messed up? Locals say it arrived as if by a miracle, and sources close to the man replied only with an enigmatic smile.
Can we repeat the well worn line: Dirty, sleazy Tories on the slide ?
I would be surprised if only the Tory party MPs were involved though. But size matters. If one side has 318 MPs and another 262, the chances are that the former will have more culprits.
Also, as headlines go, a Minister attracts more attention than an MP.
Election in 2018 would have happened anyway; to clear the Brexit air. There won't be a full Brexit anyway, as we all know.

Not sure about the last paragraph. Brexit, full or partial, won't be done until 2019, so I don't know that it would have happened anyway as it is too soon to clear the Brexit air. It makes sense on a numbers and a 'in government' basis that the Tories would be hit harder by any sleaze allegations, although as you say given the nature of this sleaze it would be a big surprise to have them be the only culprits (nor are mere allegations sufficient, or equal), so I should think the more sensible figures in labour would be doing their best to rein in any who might be tempted to crow about how this will bring down the government.

Panic in the SNP tonight apparently and when you say there will not be a full Brexit as we all know is just nonsense
Quite a high standard of scandal and subsequent proof needed to force a by election. The real danger is large numbers of MP's who've either had to resign as ministers, are no longer appoints let as ministers or who've had to announce they won't be candidates at the next GE. It gives them nothing to lose in terms of work ethic or rebellion. The length of time between now and the next GE is the real issue. An Zombie MPs after serious allegations have 4 + years to limp on.
I see no reason this will be a partisan issue. If 11% of Tory are under suspicion the numbers won't be that different for other parties. May needs to see this as an opportunity. She's a woman herself and for all her faults doesn't seem the sort to have groped the Tea Boy. She needs to rise above it, discipline strongly, promote female candidates and open primaries for successors. He ahead of the narrative. Take back control as it were.
True. The chances that she herself was groped is very slim indeed.
Vibratorgate......doesn't really work and who'd have thought a Tory MP could bring Soho into disrepute!
Which is more disreputable Roger; asking an adult who works for you to buy sex toys, or propositioning a 14 year old you've just carried to your bed?
Btw, it really isn't important to the question how good an actor either of the offenders are.
If you think 18 year old prefects and 50 year old teachers were caning boys from the age of 7 upwards at most public schools during the 70's and 80's when this 'outrage' occured I'd score both a one out of ten.
* As I understand it KS made a drunken pass at this boy who said 'no' and left. Both examples a bit sleazy but no more than that
He was a child, Roger. A child.
Both illegal and perverted, to my mind. Children are off-limits, to any decent person, whether actor, priest, teacher or anything else.

Agreed. It's possible that it was an isolated youthful mistake - but it's also a potential criminal offence, and absolutely indefensible nonetheless.
When the general election does eventually come, Corbyn's Labour will not win it.
I have been right about the result of every general election since 1970 -including 2015 and 2017.
They may not win it but Corbyn's Labour could form a minority government with backing from the SNP and LDs even if the Tories win more seats, as occurred in New Zealand recently and may be about to occur in Iceland.

AP: BREAKING: Ex-Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and his business associate, Rick Gates, plead not guilty to all charges.
Going to get expensive for them, then - particularly as it's suggested that assets are being seized.
The link to the Podesta group is also of interest - Tony Podesta has now resigned from the firm he founded with his bother because of the Mueller probe it seems.
And who is his brother - Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta. It's a small world - and the alleged wrongdoings of course relate to before Manafort worked for Trump for a few weeks.

Interview on ITV news with a woman who is part of a group belonging to labour claiming that they are receiving stories from all over the party about the abuse taking place from grassroots all the way up to the top and it is deep rooted in the party.

It would have been a bit strange if GWB had left office with an 81% approval rating; those graphs are only measuring their first year in office. GWB was stuck in a rut of 20-30% throughout most of his final two years. Carter, Nixon, the Elder Bush and Truman also went as low as the 20s.

Without wishing to tar anybody without children, for whatever reason, one of May’s (many) problems, is the absence of children and the wider consequences and emotional challenges relating to that.

My experience with the Christian Brothers in the sixties was several were a bunch of sadistic perverts who took pleasure from beating young boys, and mild sexual acts. Your education was beaten in to you. They stopped when you were about 14,as you then both knew it was wrong, and were big enough to retaliate.

I do sometimes get the impression that people really think if they are in a tiny majority/minority/coalition government they will get to do everything they want to do with no downside - Tories surprised they had to make concessions to the LDs, Labour people who think in a rainbow coalition they'll be able o go full Corbyn.

Well, as Mr Spock said 'Only Nixon could go to China.'
But there's staunch support for a president with some achievements and there's unthinking support for the first American president who had to tell his electorate that he wasn't a crook (and it turned out he was lying about that and all).
It does raise the question - what could a party with fanatical supporters, like the followers of Trump or Corbyn, actually do to have its support totally collapse? If Watergate couldn't do it, what was worse?

He worked for Trump from March 1016 until August 2016 - more than a "few weeks".
More than a few lifetimes.
Quite remarkable.

Then he would be within a few years of explaining, 'we're going to build a massive wall, it's going to be stone and thick as my wig, and the Picts will pay for it.'

Have you - and the other boys affected - never thought of seeking revenge by exposing the perpetrators? Personally I would not have hesitated - had that happened to me. I would have gone after them with zeal and determination that some continue to do re-Nazi concentration camp guards.

Yes I was affected in that I ended up with an MSc and then started and ran a very profitable company, which I sold and allowed me to retire at 55. Yes I learned how to fight back, and it served me well, others were not so lucky. They were still sadistic perverts though.

I cannot see any circumstance which would see Tory or Labour or Republican or Democrat support fall below 25% unless they were overtaken by another conservative party or party of the liberal left.
About 50% of the voters are ideological and always vote for the same party at general elections, it is the remaining 50% who are the swing voters who really decide elections and even then only a majority of those voters change their vote at landslide elections or major changes in the political weather eg 1997/2001 or 1979/1983.

The link to the Podesta group is also of interest - Tony Podesta has now resigned from the firm he founded with his bother because of the Mueller probe it seems.
And who is his brother - Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta. It's a small world - and the alleged wrongdoings of course relate to before Manafort worked for Trump for a few weeks.

One wonders what she thinks of it all, as a mother.
Without wishing to tar anybody without children, for whatever reason, one of May’s (many) problems, is the absence of children and the wider consequences and emotional challenges relating to that. More than most, she could do with being challenged and drawn out of her intellectual and emotional comfort zone.
Bullsh*t.
Agreed.
Also, I’m really thrown by Roger’s response to these recent issues concerning sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Wow. The French don't do things by halves sometimes:
"Many women worldwide have shared accounts of sexual harassment using the Twitter hashtag #MeToo. In France the equivalent is #balancetonporc, meaning "expose your pig". "

Most unfair.
Despite their reputation pigs are clean living animals.
I was always slightly bemused at school in french classes by having to learn about the charcuterie, a separate shop for pork products (ie not the butchers). Probably totally out dated now.

These days they get puzzled by the concept of a butcher - 'a separate shop for meat sir? Why bother with that?'
Although I have to say I think butchers have survived better than greengrocers, and as for grocers...

I find myself thinking of Lord Macaulay: "We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality." I know this is very wrong of me.

However there was the issue of unfair competition with local food vendors.
I was reading the comments on a tech article, about the impact of Dutch law on security certificates.
The comments turned into arguments about Brexit...
So it's not just on here.

Shitty bollocks.
Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said the former Ukip leader had raised the interest of FBI investigators because of his relationships with individuals connected to both the Trump campaign and Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder whom Farage visited in March.
WikiLeaks published troves of hacked emails last year that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign and is suspected of having cooperated with Russia through third parties, according to recent congressional testimony by the former CIA director John Brennan, who also said the adamant denials of collusion by Assange and Russia were disingenuous.
Farage has not been accused of wrongdoing and is not a suspect or a target of the US investigation. But being a person of interest means investigators believe he may have information about the acts that are under investigation and he may therefore be subject to their scrutiny.

I would be surprised if only the Tory party MPs were involved though. But size matters. If one side has 318 MPs and another 262, the chances are that the former will have more culprits.
Also, as headlines go, a Minister attracts more attention than an MP.
Election in 2018 would have happened anyway; to clear the Brexit air. There won't be a full Brexit anyway, as we all know.
Both illegal and perverted, to my mind. Children are off-limits, to any decent person, whether actor, priest, teacher or anything else.
It's possible that it was an isolated youthful mistake - but it's also a potential criminal offence, and absolutely indefensible nonetheless.
When the general election does eventually come, Corbyn's Labour will not win it.
I have been right about the result of every general election since 1970 -including 2015 and 2017.
Jimmy Carter also left office with 34%, Truman with 32%. Nixon had the lowest approval rating at the end of his term at 24%.

But it is a distracting comment in the circumstances - speaking next to Stalin banners is ok after all.

But I will go further: Jeremy Corbyn will never be prime minister.

This is not the time to attempt point scoring, it is everywhere and in every party
It would have been a bit strange if GWB had left office with an 81% approval rating; those graphs are only measuring their first year in office. GWB was stuck in a rut of 20-30% throughout most of his final two years. Carter, Nixon, the Elder Bush and Truman also went as low as the 20s.

Your education was beaten in to you. They stopped when you were about 14,as you then both knew it was wrong, and were big enough to retaliate.

Quite remarkable.

But there's staunch support for a president with some achievements and there's unthinking support for the first American president who had to tell his electorate that he wasn't a crook (and it turned out he was lying about that and all).
It does raise the question - what could a party with fanatical supporters, like the followers of Trump or Corbyn, actually do to have its support totally collapse? If Watergate couldn't do it, what was worse?
Then he would be within a few years of explaining, 'we're going to build a massive wall, it's going to be stone and thick as my wig, and the Picts will pay for it.'
Yes I learned how to fight back, and it served me well, others were not so lucky.
They were still sadistic perverts though.
About 50% of the voters are ideological and always vote for the same party at general elections, it is the remaining 50% who are the swing voters who really decide elections and even then only a majority of those voters change their vote at landslide elections or major changes in the political weather eg 1997/2001 or 1979/1983.
