Nothing against Paul Nuttall - who in my view should have been the obvious choice when Nigel Farage resigned in 2015 - but: https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2014/10/19/14/ade-edmondson.jpg

Perhaps Mr Hannan can release categorised lists of nationalities by level of foreignness, just so we can prepare for our bright, new, internationalist future.

If only Hannan wasn't so reticent about committing his thoughts to print!
let’s bow our heads for a moment at a centenary just past: that of the first major action by Canadian soldiers in the First World War.
The Second Battle of Ypres, fought in April and May 1915, was monstrous even by the standards of the Western Front. It was the first time that the Germans used chlorine gas. The men of the 2nd Canadian Brigade alone held their position as the yellow-green clouds engulfed the troops around them. It did not take long for the venom to dissolve the Allied line, leaving heaps of dead and dying men, their faces mottled, froth on their tortured lips. Later, the Canadians were hit by a second gas attack; their casualty rate was one in three.
Few Britons can talk of the Canadian war effort without a catch in their voice. The thought of those young men, every one a volunteer, crossing half the world to defend our country makes us emotional even a century later. Despite almost unimaginable fatalities — 67,000 Canadians killed and 250,000 wounded out of a total population of 7 million — the children of those veterans rushed to volunteer in the Second World War: a million men and women in all.
What made them do it? Was it simply affinity of blood and speech, a determination to stand by a kindred people? Obviously that was part of the explanation. But I can’t believe it was the whole story — that the First and Second World Wars were ethnic conflicts, different only in scale from, say, the breakup of Yugoslavia or the Hutu-Tutsi massacres. Read the letters that those volunteers sent home, listen to contemporary accounts of the conflict, and you find a clear sense that people were fighting “for freedom.” The values of the English-speaking peoples were repeatedly contrasted against the enemy’s authoritarianism. We were better than the Prussians and the Nazis, we told ourselves, because we elevated the law above the government, the individual above the collective, fair dealing over raison d’état.
But what made us that way? Was it something in our genes? Something in our soil? Hardly. The Anglosphere was dispersed across many continents and archipelagos. People of every creed and colour had adopted its values.
So what was it? And what is it? What magic formula still distinguishes Bermuda from Haiti, Hong Kong from China, Canada from Cuba? The answer to that question brings us to the second centenary, that of Magna Carta, which first established the principle that the law was not simply the will of the king or the biggest guy in the tribe.0 -

I suspect that's how the correlation (if true) works.

I think pbCOM perfectly demonstrates why our oldies should be excluded from voting. You can almost see how old the poster is by the amount of drivel being spewed out. Obviously JackW would get an exemption just for posterity and all that....
I'm generally more in favour of extending democracy than reducing it.
The fact our system disenfranchises 16/17 year olds is a disgrace - as is having an electoral system which requires millions of young people without a settled address to jump through hoops to vote.
The rules exist, they are piss easy to follow, and yet much of generation snowflake feels that moaning is more important than voting.
How many of your peer group share your penchant for disenfranchising people.0 -
That is really quite unbelievable. Over 200 Labour MPs voted for that man to be on the Justice Committee? It's a sad, sick sense of humour that our masters have, right enough.FrancisUrquhart said:0 -
UKIP's future does largely depend on there being at least a softish Brexit and limited immigration controls rather than the complete end to free movement hardcore Leavers demand. If that is the case Nuttall is probably best placed to capitalise. As OGH suggests they need to focus on FPTP and Westminster in particular as we are likely to be out of the EU by the time of the next European elections. Of their top 10 Westminster target seats 6 are in the Midlands or the North and 6 are held by Labour, Nuttall is likely to have more appeal there than Evans.
The top UKIP targets are
1.Thurrock
2.Thanet South
3.Hartlepool
4.Boston and Skegness
5.Heywood and Middleton
6.Dagenham and Rainham
7.Rochester and Strood
8.Mansfield
9.Great Grimsby
10.Stoke-On-Trent North

Unlikley - unless there is a major shift - but he would have to turn Florida, North Carolina and Nevada red by about 1 1/2% to get there - which is about a 2.5% - 3% swing from where we are now.

Off topic: Trump and the Russians.
Vyacheslav Ivankov is a really interesting guy. Hung out a lot in Trump properties. Trumps debts to Russians who have links to the Kremlin, and the Russian mob many of whom also have links to the Kremlin, runs into hundreds of millions. One of the reasons for his tax return reluctance.
That I suspect is the possibly predictable last turn of the news cycle wheel unless the FBI mysteriously leak every second of the current investigation. Predicting anything else coming out of the cracks is guesswork.0 -

Perhaps true but that would not explain the sudden change in mood music. Did a minister from the time make a phone call, or a civil servant find something buried in the files, or ... tbh since there is no obvious connection with Brexit, it is hard to speculate.

There's an element of personal sympathy there, I think - MPs dislike seeing one of their number pilloried when he hasn't been convicted of an offence, and they'll have felt that taking him off the chairmanship was punishment enough. That will also be why Tory MPs (who were entitled to vote on this as well) generally didn't vote at all (only 7 did).DavidL said:

If there was genuine concern Labour could have and should have opened one. They didn't possibly because they thought they would receive the same fallout hence probably thought better to leave until the first born, baby eating pitch fork handlers were back in power.

The second is the advanced English-speaking Commonwealth nations: Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The third is, ooh, let's say Pakistan, Argentina, and Indonesia.

Assuming Trump wins Utah and got to 269 it would still go to the House of Representatives who might give it to Pence, Trump can only ensure he wins the Presidency if he gets over 270. McMullin winning Utah in that scenario would still see the House determine the winner.Dromedary said:
