    Bit early to be totally wankered, but I guess it is a big day for some. Let's hope there is frictionless trade on thrillers.

    Oh give the F over you pious goon,

    After THREE AND A HALF YEARS of Remainers LITERALLY trying to cancel democracy, while sneering at Leavers as racist thick monkeys, one night of hideous gloating is allowed.

    Tomorrow we can all be nice again. But tonight, of all nights, we fight.

    Tariffs on remaindered thrillers won’t be that bad, surely?

    And by the way, I am normally one of your stoutest allies on here. You are a voice of reason and sanity. I like you.

    But this is different. This is like VE Day for some of us. We feel that a hideous foe has been vanquished, with much difficulty, to the extent it almost destroyed our democracy,

    Oh Lordie, 4 more years of Trump.

    How they must be laughing in the White House.
    As I keep saying, Trump is a shoo-in.

    I can't remember a more dead cert re-election except perhaps Ronald Reagan although Reagan was in more trouble than Trump at this stage.
    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromo

    Reagan net approval at this point +17
    Trump net approval -9

    Unemployment is rising in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. All states Trump won by small margins.

    That being said, I think the Libertarian candidate (oh please be John McAfee) will do much less well this time around, which probably adds two percentage points to Trump's share.
    Yeah but Reagan had a lot of domestic problems going into 1980. Trump's in a stronger position. And never mind 'net approval.' It's all about polling against your opponent, where Trump will win hands down.

    Weeks before the election, Reagan trailed Carter in most polls. In the Gallup poll on October 26, Jimmy Carter was at 47 percent and Ronald Reagan at 39 percent.

    Trump's going to win bigger in the Electoral College than last time.
    There are only really two realistic pick up chances for the Republicans this time around: Virginia and Nevada. (Unless Sanders is the nominee, of course, in which case New Hampshire and a whole bunch of other states come into play.)

    Indeed, I could well imagine a situation where the Democrat and Republican vote shares are reversed, but the Democrats end up with more EC votes than in 2016.

    The Republican party will not win Virginia for another 40 years unless it's a landslide.
    And unless they lead the party registration vote in Nevada they won't win there either.

    There is no realistic pickup for Republicans on a close vote.

    New Hampshire is becoming a suburb of Boston.
    Minnessota is a refugee dumping groung for decades.
    Maybe Delaware and Maine in like 8 years.
    You can't really compare Reagan and Trump. Say what you will about his politics, when it came to campaigning and looking presidential, Reagan was the champ. With the economy doing the way it is, Trump should be on track for a 1984 style blow-out. He isn't/

    I know Sanders is from Brooklyn but he's been in Vermont a long time. He should have a natural advantage is all of New England.

    This is typical Johnson and his biggest weakness.
    He says whatever he thinks the audience in front of him wants to hear so he plays to the gallery for the Scottish Conservatives but this act can't and won't work forever and audiences will end up not believing or trusting a word he says.
    Did you say "will"?

    That's a huge long term mistake from Starmer. Not in terms of becoming Labour leader, but in terms of his chances of eventually becoming PM. Just a month ago he was emphasising the need for Labour to move on from Brexit, which showed some tactical maturity.
    https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/keir-starmer-urges-labour-move-21218461

    Now this speech effectively contradicts that and will be thrown back in his face. The Tories will love it if they can make the 2024 GE about whether or not the UK once again allows unrestricted migration from the EU.

    It won't do Starmer any harm in the Labour leadership contest itself. However, the irony is that he's already so far ahead in the contest that he needs to be focused beyond that.

    I doubt it will make much difference to anything. Johnson has proved you can say one thing one year and something comletely different the next and it doesn't matter, if the zeitgeist is with you. Come 2024 Brexit will either have been a success or failure. That is what will matter.

    I disagree, even though I would like to think that you are right. This is a totemic issue. It's almost as though he's saying that he's reflected on the lessons of the immediate open borders policy to EU accession countries championed by Barbara Roche in 2004 and is shouting from the rooftops that the only lesson is that the UK should do exactly the same again.

    Even if in years to come he attempts some backsliding, he'll then run the risk of (a) no-one believing that he means the backsliding on migration whilst (b) developing a more generalised reputation as a slippery character, such that he isn't believed on other stuff either. Worst of both worlds really.

    Anyway, Starmer's opponents are already using it ruthlessly to define him e.g.

    People said there would be about 100 people in Parliament Square. There are thousands. This is big. Of course it is big.

    It means we, as a democracy, managed to do what France, Ireland, Holland etc etc failed to do,: we fought off the EU Establishment, and the people were heard, and the referendum was honoured, and the people won. This is enormous. This is globally significant.

    Fuck tariffs and VAT ad whatever. This is another incredible achievement for an ancient democracy. THE global democracy.

    Churchill was famously magnanimous in victory: there's even a saying about it. Have a read of his speech following the death of Chamberlain, a man he did not like and profoundly disagreed with.

    I agree the vast majority would reject the boorishness. I have some sympathy for Byron. The destination for Brexit is barely managed mediocrity. Byron has a vision for Brexit that is exciting and dangerous, even if it's a figment of his addled imagination.

  • From the BBC. MEP’s have voted for universal charging cables for mobiles. Same charger for Samsung, Apple etc.
    At first sight that’s a Good Idea.
    Won’t happen in UK of course!

    So no company can innovate with a newer, better cable?

    Hopefully everyone moves on to wireless charging but banning innovation doesn't seem smart. Almost all companies have already moved to standard ones anyway.

    It’s a real shame that some Leavers in Parliament Square instead of being good ambassadors for the country are stamping on EU flags and making offensive gestures .

    And these are the images being shown all round the world . Really shameful .

  • It's a phoney comparison with 1945. Then the nation was united against a foreign foe. Even the little princesses snuck out of BP to join the merry throng, if rumour is correct. Today the true comparison is with 1649: a narrow victory in a long internecine conflict that most people didn't want in the first place. It led directly to one of the worse decades in English history, at the end of which the insurgents came out with their hands up, begging for mercy (which some of them didn't receive).

    It's also like the civil wars (plural) of the seventeenth century due to three different disputes going on in England, Scotiand and Ireland, with different motivations but feeding off each other.

    No, but I don't know of any manufacturer of smartphones that varies their connectors by the regional market. That's one thing that remains constant on a model of smartphone. Even when things like frequency bands, Wi-Fi, NFC, memory configurations, or the software changes, the connectors remain the same.

    I think it's a bad idea, if would be absurd if Apple, who have been major proponents and developers of connectors like USB in its first iteration, Firewire, Thunderbolt, Lightning, and the USB Type-C connector were obliged to stick with a connector.

    What did JFK actually do, other than rape his teenage secretaries?
    Rape is a strong word.
    Whether you regard his somewhat creepy sexual exploitation of the likes of Mimi Alford as rape or not, the question still stands.

    Setting the goal to land a man on the moon is a pretty big deal.

    People said there would be about 100 people in Parliament Square. There are thousands. This is big. Of course it is big.

    It means we, as a democracy, managed to do what France, Ireland, Holland etc etc failed to do,: we fought off the EU Establishment, and the people were heard, and the referendum was honoured, and the people won. This is enormous. This is globally significant.

    Fuck tariffs and VAT ad whatever. This is another incredible achievement for an ancient democracy. THE global democracy.

    FFS you withered old twats, this is amazing.

    You need something to give you pleasure Sean
    Why has Sean T always been allowed to get away with the sort of personal abuse of other posters that would see anyone else banned?
    Because I am not SeanT? Perhaps?
    If Mike Smithson has proof that I AM SeanT let him show it. I am not.
    The purge begineth. Remainers Revenge?
    Getting a temporay ban so he can come down from his 'high' is a very SeanT event tbf.
    Although it would be somewhat surprising, I do wonder what the reaction would be if it turned out Byronic really isn’t Sean Thomas. Just somebody who talks like him, travels to the same location as him, drinks like him and has a wife exactly the same age.

    Well, it’s possible.

    It is an hour until Brexit and I still do not agree with it, I do not support it and I am not reconciled to it. I would satisfied to see Boris, Farage and their hangers-on roast in Hell for all eternity, except that being an atheist I know there is no such place.

    If he had intercourse with numerous women and it was consent, therefore he was living his life. If not, then it's not good.

    Bit harsh on poor old Satan.

    That’s lumbering him with Farage, not the atheism bit.

    At least the word British is used when talking about our past. Unlike German...
    Well, we wouldn't use the word German to describe our past, would we? Well, except when it comes to royalty..
    Just to be clear, I was referring to the use of the word Nazi rather than German.
    If you're suggesting that Germany doesn't want to refer to its Nazi past, I'd say the reverse is true in my experience.
    That is true. I suspect it's just our media who don't want to offend any Germans.
