Will England ever score another goal? Maguire looking good

Linguard of course

Another former Leicester player, but Maguire started the move

Maguire is on United's radar I believe

Not going anywhere. Other clubs should have caught on by now, our owner is rich enough to not sell any player that we want to keep. Maguire has a five year contract to Leicester.

The fireplace salesman's kicked off.

Evening all

In truth, something for everyone in the week's local by-election results and little to be gleaned at a national level.

I've never been at a count where the result has been tied - is there a single method to decide used everywhere ? I've heard the drawing of lots or the toss of a coin being used but I suppose it's up to the discretion of the returning officer.

It's a horrible way to lose.

The DJIA has lost in excess of 2,000 points since February 26th when it was 25,709. I make that close to correction territory (10%). The FTSE has lost 870 points since its high in January of 7792.6 so more than 10% given up and the index is where it was in August 2016 so all the "Trump Bump" erased.

Sterling still a few cents below the pre 23/6/16 level but against the Euro still 14 cents below the pre-Referendum numbers.

FWIW Caz have just deployed 25% on a cash reserve my foundation had into equities...

Brave.

75% still in cash (we went all cash in December)

In fiat currencies?

I don’t do bitcoin!

So, do you prefer Ethereum or are you a Litecoin kind of guy?

I skipped past a preroll ad the other day which I swear was advocating some kind of porn themed crytocurrency, whatever the point of that would be. The site was family friendly, so I suppose good on the targeting algorithms for knowing I have viewed pornography and stories on crypto currencies elsewhere I guess.

It is very strange how Corbyn makes people who are normally sane and articulate go quite bananas.

The emotion is so strong that it is clearly not a normal rational evaluation but something quite deep. I suspect it is the fact that he is a clever politician and a strong leader that is leading his party to success that really freaks them out. They desperately thrash around trying to derail him, without success. It must be very frustrating.

Really? Who is doing this (with link)? My take on him is that he is a profoundly stupid man of a type very common on the Left, all the way from Scargill and Skinner down to the sort of students who like to go "on protests" generically (i.e. without reference to what the protest is a protest against), of interest only because of the mismatch between his abilities and his job. Not sure what you refer to when you say "leading his party to success."

Off the top of my head, I can think of at least six contributors who are usually sensible, articulate, and well respected who simply go OTT bananas on the subject of Corbyn. I find it very odd and I'm constantly surprised. I'm not going to link to them but I know who they are and you do too I suspect.

Leading his party to success means getting it into power. It's a combination of clever popular policies (unlike the Tories), mobilising a large group of enthusiastic activists (unlike the Tories), maintaining party discipline including firing people who get out of line (unlike Mrs M), and steadfastly shrugging off personal attacks without retaliation.

I think some of those are definitely hot wars! You may recall that I have opposed all the things that you mention, we merely argue the means and style.

There were plenty of hot wars in Cold War 1.0 as well.

There's even this today.

If this isn't Cold War 2.0 whatever it is is doing a damn good impression.

Well, in fairness, that's just keeping to the spirit of the times.

This is a good piece on the need to address the ideological element of Putin's hybrid war.

http://observer.com/2018/03/russia-putin-ideology-rules-cold-war-2-0-like-soviet-communism/

At the dawn of the last Cold War, the West, led by the United States, made serious political outreach to social democrats to embrace law-based democracy, to undercut the appeal of the Soviet-backed far-left. This effort bore considerable fruit and needs to be copied today to undercut Moscow’s aggressive messaging. This means reaching out to moderate nationalists and social conservatives who want to preserve Western democracy and the rule of law against the Russian threat. There are many more of them than our WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) elites realize. If we do not, those citizens will be left with no ideological alternative except the Kremlin’s. The necessary first step is admitting that the other side in Cold War 2.0 has an ideology at all.

Untrue - a year ago it would not have been 'don't think he's had a very good fortnight' it would have been 'don't think he's had a good year'. The former recognises he has had some good times. And how many people are saying they think, because of his having a bad couple of weeks compared to his time since last June, that the Tories should try for an election? Not many.

So there is nothing necessarily incorrect in saying that he has had a relatively bad couple of weeks, nor that there were indications the party was in a shambles, there were plenty of reports (which, in fairness, and as predicted, not amounted to anything).

I suspect that we will see in the May Local elections.

Which as we know, are not always very indicative even of GEs coming up very shortly afterwards. But Labour should be in for a good night. I'm more interested in your old buddies, the Lid Dems.

He's not going to last long is he? I can't find any odds on next to leave the Cabinet.

Ladbrokes have him at 5/1 third favourite behind May herself and Boris. Both have had OK weeks so odds will perhaps lengthen a touch.

Personally I would have said the value is fourth favourite David Davis at 6/1. I will be very surprised if he is still in post in a year's time. Not only would he be pushing seventy but we will have left the EU and his job will have ended. There seems little hope of a promotion and I doubt if he would accept a lesser post.

I'm also surprised Liam Fox is 10/1. Seriously?

I keep saying, the next leader will be a female

That's next to leave the cabinet, not next leader!

Could be a bad move - Corbyn could well show up, condemn anti-semitism, and then some of the people who were angry will persuade themselves the pleasant old man is being attacked for no reason.

Yes - there hasn’t been an opportunity for Corbyn to make a clear statement of anti Semitism- - this is his first chance and he may seize it.

Well, I would say it's easy to create an opportunity to make a clear statement of such at any time, but nevertheless relying on him to appear to equivocate in such a debate would, I think, be an error. He's occasionally a very savvy operator, and is a professional politician, and could well craft a good statement which will play well in countless shares, no matter if others come back and claim other actions speak against it, truthfully or otherwise.

Corbyn's Russian response probably costing them the seat in Thurrock.

Presumably more popular in Worksop and Leek!

In Thurrock there was a bigger gain by Lab than Con, so I think Tories obsession with this is rather over egged.

Conservative obsession with a military grade nerve agent used on the streets of Salisbury with the EU 100% backing UK, EU Russian Ambassador recalled, and individual EU countries to announce more measures next week

I think your politics are deliberately trying to downplay this outrageous attack on us to deflect from your dear leader, the marxist communist Corbyn with his communist office acting as Russia Today's mouth piece

I think that you are certainly over egging Jezzas position, which is slightly different in tone, but actually very little different to the governments. Ludicrous Tory hyperbole is counterproductive in damaging Jezza.

Corbyn is a Russian loving marxist communist as is most of his office. Do you deny this

I dont think he is either Communist or Marxist, or particularly A Russophile.

Well you are entitled to your opinion but are you saying Milne is not

I don't apply such labels to other people. I allow them to self identify rather than be caricatured by their opponents.

This is Jezzas response to the Salisbury attack. Not much difference is there?

Realising it usually wasn't worth watching a England football game was when I knew I had truly grown up.

I gave up on England in 1967 - I was referring to Man Utd who I have supported since 1951

He's not going to last long is he? I can't find any odds on next to leave the Cabinet.

Ladbrokes have him at 5/1 third favourite behind May herself and Boris. Both have had OK weeks so odds will perhaps lengthen a touch.

Personally I would have said the value is fourth favourite David Davis at 6/1. I will be very surprised if he is still in post in a year's time. Not only would he be pushing seventy but we will have left the EU and his job will have ended. There seems little hope of a promotion and I doubt if he would accept a lesser post.

I'm also surprised Liam Fox is 10/1. Seriously?

I keep saying, the next leader will be a female

That's next to leave the cabinet, not next leader!

Both

No, the odds I quoted are not for 'both.' They are for next to leave the cabinet as @Barnesian was complaining he couldn't find them. I think you misunderstood what I was typing as otherwise your comments make no sense.

(They could hardly be for next leader when May is the joint favourite!)

My apologies - old age advances

I think that happened to me in South Africa, 2010 was it? That was an terrible tournament
