I must admit that I cannot see either 76 year old Joe Biden or 77 Bernie winning the nomination in eighteen months time. The former has yet to decide while Bernie, who ran Hillary close at WH2016, announced today that he’s going for it.

Whether it was appropriate in the circumstances or not is a different, more complicated question, and given that complexity I don't think it fair to call the decision a disgrace, nor to call a disgrace anyone taking an alternate view.
TIGs can only get better?
Somebody should also have a word with the increasingly risible Sajid Javed.
He became a Voodoo Pole!
(I thank you!)
And I imagine it will be very popular. That doesn't automatically make a decision right, but I very much doubt only Tories will approve.
Christmas!

Is anyone able to post on here via iPad and if so, which browser do you use? I can browse but can't seem to post properly (currently on desktop).
Hopefully Javid gives Trump permission to accidentally dump all the British jihadis caught by our allies in the ocean on the way back.
There is nothing to be gained by letting any of them back in the country. These are people who pushed gay people off buildings, stoned women to death and sold thousands of women and girls into a life of sexual slavery. There is no redemption. They do not deserve a chance of it.
I'm honestly surprised that so many on the left are getting upset about this.
They've been doing this for something like 12-15 years with Isis/Al Qaeda "volunteers", whenever it's possible because of dual citizenship. I don't know how many, but it's certainly in the many dozens.
He became a Proper Pole!

According to Guido.
I reckon Kyle Hodge Murray Austin Ryan are more or less certain to go
I think Smith Kendall Bradshaw Perkins will stay.
It doesn't make me less wary, or thinking it should be bandied about easily or indiscriminately, but I do think the idea the fact of the power is a disgrace or even that the decision in this case is a disgrace does not hold up since it must have happened before many times and I don't recall this level of outrage.
But it seems entirely unfair to suggest anyone disagreeing with the decision is supportive of terrorists.
Using Vanilla forums is just weird.
Probably the most popular decision a politician has made in many a year.
Although as we've seen from the dual citizenship troubles in Australian politics in the last few years, turns out you can hold citizenship of other nations without even realising it in some instances, depending on what the law is with the other nation.
Can't imagine Bangladesh would be happy with being dumped with the woman though.

BTW, any British citizen born in Northern Ireland or with a parent born anywhere in Ireland is automatically[1] a citizen of the Republic of Ireland and so could be deprived of their British citizenship by fiat of the Home Secretary.
[1] Irish nationality law changed in the early 2000s tor abolish automatic jus soli if neither parent was lawfully resident in Ireland, but it’s unlikely very many people born in Ireland without Irish citizenship have had children yet.
Yesterday's man.
Kendall would be wise to think seriously about jumping early - she is one of the few that could claim leadership of the whole thing.
It isn't 2016 anymore.
The careerists like Owen Smith & Stephen Kinnock will all stay. They are just putting down markers for a few years time, when the pendulum swings back (as it always does).
The only people who will go are (i) those who are likely to lose their seats anyhow because they will be deselected or because their majority is very slender, (ii) those who were planning to retire anyhow and (iii) those who mistakenly believe they are charismatic and have a huge personal vote.
My guess is all of the 7 Tiggers will lose their seats. If they really thought they would retain them, they would fight by-elections now.
It is telling that the UKIP defectors, Reckless and Carswell, correctly resigned and fought by elections.
Who would have thought we would live to see the day that Reckless has more credibility than Chuka & Co.
Bliss.

It's why they love Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian theocracy so very, very much. I doubt whether one in ten of them give a flying wotsit about gay people being strung up from cranes or thrown off tall buildings, and those who do don't like talking about it very much since (a) a few dead gays is irrelevant compared to the fight to destroy liberal democracy, and (b) it prompts the inevitable reminder that their sainted leader was more than happy to pocket the Ayatollahs' blood money to present a chat show on their propaganda mouthpiece (a TV station so crooked that it was banned from the airwaves by Ofcom, a fate avoided even by Russia Today.)
Thank you for posting this remark. Whilst it is frustrating that one has no power to influence the situation, it probably does no harm to be reminded of why the contemporary Labour Party is toxic radioactive filth and why we should, therefore, fervently hope that it never manages to lay a hand on the levers of power again.

We have to listen to endless trumpeting on pb about how much we are all indebted to London and its many wonders.
We have had lectures from preening Londoners about how Londoners are not born, but are made. They are made strong and bold in the glistening furnace of London.
So, send some Londoners to risk their lives getting her out, and when she is returned, confine her to London.
That irritation has been shared in Berlin. Michael Roth, Germany’s minister for Europe, said new “realistic suggestions” were needed from Downing Street to allow the negotiations to progress.
“There is no point in abstractly demanding changes or to make demands, which are completely unacceptable for us,” Roth said. “There can be no limit to the backstop, there can’t be an automatic expiration of the backstop.
“Right now I do not see the necessary willingness to budge on the part of the British and this doesn’t make things easier because time is running out.”
EU sources said Barnier and his deputy, Sabine Weyand, had been “forensic” in their dismantling of the Malthouse compromise on Monday. Barnier told Barclay that suspending EU law on the border was not a viable solution to the problem. Weyand later privately lamented that the EU was having to repeat arguments to Cox first made in August 2017.
The fact that both sides are intransigent means both are experiencing the same frustrations. It shows both parties in the same light.
(repeat until Parliamentary panic capitulation in about a month)
I have read here multiple times, not from you I hasten to add, from dual citizens that they will use their non-British citizenship to gain some advantage that sole British citizens would not be eligible for. Usually accompanied by the sucker emoji.
