Re: The World Cup betting after an action-packed weekend – politicalbetting.com
Shudders. I remember working in an office in the 2005 heatwave. These were the days when suits and ties were still required for men. The girls in the office swanned around in light summer dresses and kept turning off the aircon. We said they could put on a cardigan, to which their reply was: “Why shouldn’t we wear summer… -

This is so far beyond wrong it has entered a whole new epistemological dimension. -

Re: Team Curtice or Team Kellner? – politicalbetting.com
That site was acvtually on the edge of the countryside, as this photo shows. Near the Cowley Works and the railway, which makes entire sense as they'd need empty space to dump stuff. Would have thought it ideal for voles - partly used fields, lots of overgrown weedy areas.… -
Re: LAB’s set to win most seats but is not in majority territory – politicalbetting.com
It is being reported Charles and Camilla have invited Ngozi Fulani to the Palace for talks. Is this a smart move, it just risks keeping the story going. https://twitter.com/mailonline/status/1599324051104841728?s=61&t=J9bk4Z_vfCCLaapQnJ9ONg -
Re: Tuesday’s Georgia RunOff is. looking very tight – politicalbetting.com
Not sure that was going to happen. They had a lot to work on as an new company - iirc the deal was done by the people on the ground and only then did they tell the president -
Re: Sajd Javid – the latest CON MP to announce that he’s going – politicalbetting.com
A government with a Commons majority could suspend the schools' royal charters and put their assets into administration. Or it could say the charters must be renewed. (Eton, Winchester, and Westminster all have RCs - not sure about St Paul's but they probably do too.) There are also provisions in several previous Acts that… -
Re: A disastrous result for the Tories in the Chester by-election – politicalbetting.com
Lol. Hats off to the Green Party. They really do believe in diversity. Their very own token right wing reactionary petrolhead. -
Re: Chester will be Rishi’s first by-election test – politicalbetting.com
Because teachers are looking after children. Look if you want a world where anyone in any job gets suspended because allegations are made, fine. But I still believe people have a right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Yes it’s made harder by certain roles, such as teaching, but it needs to be fair to both… -
Re: Hard to see anything other than a LAB hold in Chester – politicalbetting.com
I'm with you on that, I would also suggest a majority around the 4 to 5000 mark on a turnout of at the very most 30%, and that would be properly pushing the be-election boat out. Likely it will be lower given the chilly November weather and the general lack of press interest. -
Re: LAB’s VAT on private education plan set to be big issue – politicalbetting.com
@anabobazina You got me thinking, but I still think I’m right. Unlike the Tory ministers accused of bullying civil servants, I can claim I was still a child. I was thinking of Flex Bex the little toadette sitting in pigtails in front row in front all the teachers. Before Miss Carter got into class I scrawled “Miss Carter… -
Re: FT reporting that Twitter could face EU ban – politicalbetting.com
The speed with which she was removed indicates to me that the the younger royals knew exactly what sort of person they were dealing with and it is not some amiable old dear that should be excused for making the odd faux pas. -
Re: Is the general election betting overstating LAB chances? – politicalbetting.com
It's given me a reason to vote Tory. Probably the only one, but one nonetheless. -

Re: Should Rishi support onshore wind farms or oppose? – politicalbetting.com
Seriously, Thurrock taxpayers need to wear the cost of Tory mismanagement. Put a lien on every house in the borough. -
Re: LAB now a 67% betting chance to win most seats – politicalbetting.com
Another quote from the same book. In 1877 Evelyn Baring produced a Memorandum on the Central Asia Problem which included these words on the Russian Army -'however colossal it may appear on paper, is in reality less formidable than is generally supposed.' -

Re: Are the Dems really going to select an 80 year old to take on DeSantis? – politicalbetting.com
Hard to form an opinion without knowing what sugar substitutes he's into, but in general, less refined sugars are better because they contain more of their natural complement of biochemical components, which can help the body deal with what it's consuming. Molasses is supposed to be quite a good sweetener. Honey (used in… -

Re: Getting Brexit done, badly – politicalbetting.com
This is bollocks. Scottish wind farms are raking in constraint payments at three times the value of their power making the grid. They know what they're doing chucking up wind farms at the arse end of nowhere. If daylight robbery is happening, it ain't happening to Scotland.
