Some good news (at long last) for Ron DeSantis? Techcrunch.com - Public domain Mickey Mouse is the first meme of 2024 The new year marks the nerdiest holiday you maybe didn’t know about: Public Domain Day.

Re: Voter suppression could work for the Tories – politicalbetting.com
Except, as explained in my post earlier, we don't need to because it is a law that is very rarely broken and on the rare occasion it is it has no impact because it is pretty much impossible to vote much more than once and to do so is very silly because you stand a very very high chance of getting caught and going to prison… -

Syria: Not the gaffe you think. In the last 24 hours, much comment has focussed on the apparent gaffe by John Kerry that left a door open for the Russians to drop their proposal to avoid a US strike on Syria. The truth is that Kerry may have somewhat went freelance but it wasnt the gaffe. I posted last night that I was… -
Re: Now I am become Death, the destroyer of political parties – politicalbetting.com
All proposals for wealth tax have so far been on the value of the house, nothing as far as I know has ever been mentioned about taxing just the principal you own. As I pointed out it would encourage interest only mortgages for a start which would end up in a collosal blow up at some point. The point remains people paying… -
Re: LAB to get a poll lead before Oct 12th – new betting market – politicalbetting.com
Pff With respect, that’s bollox The stagnation of wages at the bottom end has been a complete disaster when coupled with ever increasing house price/earnings ratios. The losers in this game are the ones who have benefitted the most over the past few decades from rising asset prices. The little guy, reliant on only his… -
Re: Starmer’s set to have a challenging September – politicalbetting.com
Here in the great Evergreen State, former initiative guru Tim Eyman, once called the "4th branch of state government" is continuing to go splat in epic fashion. Though maybe in not quite as notable a fashion as when he was arrested for stealing an office chair from an Office Depot store, based on security cam footage.… -

Has Nutall's spin doctor been exaggerating what had an element of truth at the start. eg - Nutall was at Hillsborough but close friends were not killed - he was studying for a PhD and teaching at Uni but did not have a doctorate - he was about to move in (temporarily?) to a Stoke house but had not yet done so at the time… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The LDs – putting the coalition years behind them
Yay! My presence here on PB has been of some use to someone. :smiley: On topic: very big LD gain (from Con) in one of our local wards most affected by house-building. Backs up Sebastian Payne's theory on Twitter that planning is actually the unspoken big issue in these elections... so maybe Nick Boles has unwittingly been… -

Not directly related to your post, but.... The thing that gets me about #McStrike. It's not that I do or don't support it - it's that I think they're picking the wrong target. Productive companies offering unskilled jobs at NMW will always exist. Mcdonalds's business edge comes from stuff like fantastic marketing,… -

Re: Keeping Braverman as Home Secretary is a lifestyle choice by Sunak – politicalbetting.com
Older people have had all the benefits of the post war consensus, and that ladder has slowly been hauled up behind them. I love my grandparents dearly, but after the war their economic prospects (as working class people) were significantly better than mine (a university graduate). The house they bought for a £9,000… -
Re: Florida Governor Ron DeStantis looks a good bet for the GOP WH2024 nomination – politicalbetting.com
The Guardian has an interview with Nicola Sturgeon, where she claims "No 10 won't block a new IndyRef if SNP win". There's a question for PMQs. "Can the Prime Minister tell the House whether the SNP have been given assurances - on the record or privately - that his Government will authorise a second referendum on… -

Legislation to prevent the spread of Covid was clearly necessary, and has been implemented globally - even in Brazil and the USA, for example. I agree, however, that getting the force of that legislation right is a difficult balancing act. Despite what some say, we have never been under "house arrest". France has had… -

Mr Topping, Immigration has always been a key issue, and the problem is it remains the elephant in the room because it produces hysteria on both sides. Yet it's basically simple. In an ideal world, we would sit down and discuss it rationally. Managed immigration - those who are useful to us, those who are asylum-seekers,… -
Re: Does Kemi Badenoch hate Northerners? – politicalbetting.com
Largely due to an idiocy created by a confluence of interests. The Green Belt was supposed to be about protecting agriculture. As the population growth slowed in the later part of the 20th cent. policies that massively restricted home construction didn’t have a negative effect. At first. So the system became fixed on (and… -

Afternoon all :) Kingston University (Polytechnic as was) has 20,000 students on roll. It is or appears to be an extraordinarily wealthy institution. It is currently having a new Town House built by Willmott Dixon which will doubtless be costing into the millions. I'm tempted to wonder how fat organisations like this have…
