It isn't for the GE - but damn well should be for this.
Question: Would someone who regularly writes on a blog for politics be considered a political journalist?
It will depend on how flattering the thread headers were.
Don Brind - ok
The rest of you - await the 3am knock on the door.
I'm trying to put up some blinds and if I could get them up as straight as that line I'll be rather pleased.
There is a dismal record of whistleblowers being sacked in the NHS: Dr Chris Day for example.
And that the status quo is......OK!!!
Every non-vote should be taken as for Remain.
As for TTIP, why would any left winger support it?
Same as always: If you don't care enough to vote, then you don't care enough to be counted for anything.
N.I. population is less than 3% of the UK.
I like it:

@TheRedRag: Cameron paid HMRC £20,000 more than needed out of integrity. Corbyn paid £100 more out of incompetence.
@DamCou: Labour's twist on the Dead Cat Strategy: Wait for the Tories to lower their guard, then hit yourself repeatedly in the face with a dead cat.
I must spend 50% of my working life on whistleblowing investigations. It is something I've had to spend a lot of time thinking about. Not at all an easy issue and the NHS, more than most, could do with a real culture change on this. Until people at the top see this and really and relentlessly drive this through, sad cases like this will continue to happen.
I think the supposition that Sunderland will be the first result (it will be by council rather than seat like in Scotland surely). If it is a Leave win then much like the First Indyref, the result will be known before midnight.
" Q: If the deal were to be altered, would the UK not interpret that as the European Union failing to follow through with what it has promised?
A: Who counts as the “the European Union” here? Member state leaders have met within the framework of the European Council, but their agreement is in no way a document of the European Union, but a text of hybrid character, which is unspecified and not legally binding.
At the moment, the whole thing is nothing more than a deal that has been hammered out down the local bazaar. The European Union, however, is a community of law, in which there are regulated responsibilities. If the British are going to put all their eggs in one basket, in a promise made like this, which has not yet complied with our clean process of law, then, for me, this process of law is more important and preferable.

Not quite the 'cast-iron guarantee' of 'special status' Cameron and his spinners would have us believe,,,,
Cam should have just come out for leave...
Voting Remain on the basis of this so-called deal is for the birds. It won't last. And anyone relying on it is naïve, IMO.
* I know you have to keep a register of shareholders
* I assume you have their contact address when they *buy* the share
* I assume you have their new contact address if they tell you when they move
* But I don't think for plcs[1] you have to *track* them
* So for plcs I think the answer is "the register shows the last address you have for a given shareholder" (i.e. you're not responsible for making them give you an up-to-date address).
* I don't know what the answer is for "limiteds"
Points to note.
* Large companies have millions of shareholders and I assume asking them to track each one would be difficult.
* I am just some person on the internet watching NCIS. Don't take my word for it. Instead contact Companies House.

Forward to D cameron 10 Downing Street
5 or 6 million of those and he might get a bit pissed off.
I thought "the deal" was pants, destroyed Cameron's reputation, not worth the pamphlets it has been printed upon, etc...
Now you are upset because the EU won't honour it?
The Tory Party left Milbank and moved to 4 Matthew Parker Street a few years ago.
Both sadly lacking in most politicians.
Still confused...
Gosh.
The unionists and nationalists tend to divide fairly evenly in most elections.
@SeanT may put it more pithily of course. (Lying Gaylord PonceyBoots, that sort of thing....)
why on earth do english people think the welsh and irish are going to vote for an immediate 30% cut in their standard of living ?
And now the vice-president of the EU parliament (who is the deputy to the person who represents the delegates who belong to those very same 27 EU members) says "pah".
And all of a sudden, instead of worthless and duplicitous, we treat his words as pearls of wisdom and as inscribed on tablets delivered from up on high?
I don't think there's any doubt in any mind (nor should there be) that if you think the whole Dave Agreement thing is rubbish and the European Union heads lied and obfuscated and intend to vote down the agreement because...because...well, just because...
...
...then you should vote LEAVE!
A few times, if you can.
The EU is entirely greedy and untrustworthy when we are a member, but if we leave they will be generous and trustworthy. Meanwhile we will pursue a free-trade protectionist approach, raising tariffs against all whilst exporting freely to all. We will maintain and increase growth whilst preventing all immigration...except from the ethnic group or ancestry of the person you are speaking to. We will adopt the Canada option. Or Norway. Or Switzerland. Or Narnia. Or our own tailor-made agreement, which will cost us nothing and give us everything. Brexit means up and down, left and right, the penny and the bun, it is infinitely virtuous and if we only believe, tap our heels three times, say "there's no place like home", then all our wishes will be granted, Kim Greist will escape with us, and tomorrow will be another day...
On top of that both sides benefit hugely from the open border which technically has always existed and would likely continue but neither side would want to risk it. There is a reason why the Loyalists didn't call for a border to be imposed even during the height of The Troubles.
Even with the DUP supporting Leave, I can easily see both "traditions" voting Remain and quite heavily.
If the Celtic nations push Remain over the limit it may be calls for English independence!
If I do end up voting Leave - and this is by no means certain - I do so in the full expectation that there will be considerable uncertainty and difficulty and costs for us following such a decision. Sometimes, though, you have to endure pain to get to a worthwhile destination or a worthwhile outcome.
It will not be an easy decision.
Example : in Ireland medical services are means tested, I am an irish citizen have worked and paid taxes here but because of the means test I have to pay for health services.
My neighbours from Manchester never worked here but are retired. They get free health care because under eu rules the uk government have to pay for them.
I doubt very much these people will vote Leave.

But, important decisions made at a level where, if we disagree, we can vote to throw the bums out.

Sending it to The Conservative Party means that the Conservative party pick up the tab.
I would have been happier with a "reformed relationship between the UK and the EU which latter, just so everyone is clear on this, intends to pursue ever closer union, albeit without us, post deal."
Not as snappy, that said.
And agree about the non-ease of the decision; my thinking is laughably facile. I am happier to stay as part of the decision-making body rather than be left outside it. Difficulties and uncertainty remain with both options, of course.
Dave may be trust worthy, I think he is. I think he tried to rush the negotiation because he knows another summer of the migrant crisis is basically going to destroy any chance of a remain vote so he has done the best possible deal in the shortest period of time. That means there is no treaty change, no EUParl assent and no legal framework to bind our remain vote to the EU implementing it. The last point is the key point, I don't think the EU are to be trusted and though I personally wouldn't be swayed by Dave's negotiations even if he had got 27 signatures on a new/amended treaty without that they hold absolutely no meaning. As I said, Dave could have got the best deal out there, the internal markets veto, an opt-out from the CAP/CFP, enhanced movement instead of free movement etc... but it would all come to nought without having it enshrined in a new or amended treaty with the 28th signature (ours) going on the dotted line with the Remain vote.
Maybe he can get round to finally explaining the small issue of that £1.7bn bill we paid in full.
This is a betting site, right?
Are you annak in the UK?
Christine Lagarde as French finance minister boasted:
A bit of English understatement would have been much more comme il faut.
