Re: The economy and inflation dominate the latest Ipsos Issues Index – politicalbetting.com
I am sorry you feel that’s what I meant in my post. I believe you should never treat all people of x characteristic in a manner just because of that characteristic, so I intrinsically despair when I read such statements as the one posted. Would a little nuance help. ‘Some men’. Or even ‘many men’. It is striking that most,… -
Re: Some positive polling for Starmer from Ipsos – politicalbetting.com
Important to bear in mind how much. Right now, 38% of electricity generation in the UK is coming from CCGT (the least carbon-generating form of fossil fuel energy production). Almost all the rest is wind and nuclear. At 480gCO2e/kWh for CCGT (probably better with improved technology; this figure is pre-2011 and the… -
Re: No Sh*t, Sherlock! – politicalbetting.com
Years ago, I leaned this simple trick for pronoun problems like: "Put it this way, Cyclefree and myself would have a field day with this." Shorten it by cutting it, as follows: "Put it this way, myself would have a field day with this." If that sounds right to you, you're right (probably). If not, correct the pronoun.… -

Bollox , the deal was never about generations and that was never included anywhere , the only time that was used was as a political slogan. -

Re: The World Cup betting tracker – politicalbetting.com
SBF was the second biggest contributor to the 2022 Democratic election campaign and there's a suggestion he used clients' funds to bankroll those donations as well as build up influence. Read into that what you will. -
Re: Brexiteers should expect a lot more polling like this – politicalbetting.com
I’ve met a few people in the City over the years. Those who are in it “mainly for the money” hate themselves and their lives. It’s a shitty lifestyle that comes at an immense personal cost to yourself and your loved ones. If you don’t love the job itself (and there are many who do) then get the hell out of there -

Re: Sunak gets the worst Ipsos opening ratings of any PM over 23 years – politicalbetting.com
On the contrary, getting to step two really means removing the control of the state from those who wish to rejoin the EU (and will fiercely resist any form of divergence from EU writ, and in my opinion also resist any activity to ease the issues that have resulted from the new trading arrangements). It is natural now that… -
Re: “I’m a celeb”: 48% are viewing Hancock more positively – politicalbetting.com
Really interesting discussion. I have the opposite problem - I've had a series of enjoyable jobs, and have become so invested in them that I don't know how to stop. I'm 72, with three paid jobs (charity management, council executive, translation) and an unpaid joblet (CLP chair), all interesting and stimulating. I'm in… -
Re: Can Sunak really win back CON to LAB switchers and retain power? – politicalbetting.com
How on earth did he come to omit the word 'woke' from that tirade? Still, he got in 'virtue signals', so he's nearly learned the script. -

Re: Deltapoll from 2019 on having a passport and voting Leave – politicalbetting.com
@OnlyLivingBoy A lot, is the answer. Essentially, the LEA has a statutory duty to educate all children in its area. If, therefore, they are expelled from schools the LEA has to find a place to put them. This is bloody difficult as (a) all the schools designed to help these people have been shut because the DfE are cupid… -
