Good morning Cicero and to other PBers down thread who have commented on my return.

Re: On his wedding day Johnson sees rating hits on approval, competence, and likeability – politicalbett
The Boris/Carrie wedding – the BBC news site still harbours doubts. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has married his fiancee Carrie Symonds in a secret ceremony at Westminster Cathedral, it has been reported. The wedding was held in front of close friends and family on Saturday, according to several newspapers. Downing Street… -
Re: One year on – politicalbetting.com
The War is actively benefitting the US economically. It has been at a huge cost to Western & Eastern Europe. Most of the pain is being felt, as usual, not by the demographic represented on PB. Why, of all the huge numbers of PB-ers with second homes, not one has offered to house a Ukrainian refugee. I suggested this to one… -
Re: Punter Psychology. Finding the perfect balance of arrogance and humility – politicalbetting.com
Every time the government or sage talks about ongoing long term restricyions it makes me that bit less inclined to follow any restrictions. I knuckled down up to know because of the fears for collapse of the healthcare system and the promise that the vaccine cavalry was on its way. I increasingly feel like my life, my… -
Re: Your regular reminder that 2 plus 2 doesn’t always equal 4 – politicalbetting.com
Indeed and some of the numbers used by Farage have turned out to be less than reliable and indeed been disowned by the Centre for Policy Studies. The other problem is those who came in 2022 and 2023 could well have applied for ILR and been granted it under the five year rule before the next GE. As @HYUFD has pointed out,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Nighthawks is now open
Extraordinary scenes in the Dail as debate on the abortion Bill is extended to 5am. And in a pattern that is almost typical for abortion debates in Ireland down the years the extremes of the policy positions (pro choice and pro life) are both coming out against the Bill. It should still pass. Watch live:… -

I am going to bite on this “less skilled staff” meme. Everyone thinks that holding a plate of food and putting it down on a table is easy and therefore running a cafe or restaurant or pub is easy and unskilled so who cares if such jobs are lost. It’s bollocks on stilts. In hospitality, every member of staff - front of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » By-Election Results both local and Westminster: December 1st 2
I'd love to see the division and mutual anger subside at some point soon. It's understandable, but triumphalism on one side exacerbates loss on the other - as intended. Encouraging denial, anger, grief etc. Denial and anger on the other side encourages triumphalism on the winning side - an urge to rub faces in it. Which in… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Marf on the travails of Theresa
Between 2006 and 2009, the Save Bedford Hospital party was registered with the Electoral Commission with a view to running a Richard Taylor style campaign in Bedford. The party was wound up before the 2010 election, having received personal reassurances from the then Labour health secretary, the Chief Executive of the NHS,… -

Not sure why its funny, the Heil has been going all guns blazing with rabble rousing bullshit for a long time, its nothing new it is as you say what they do. Rabble rousing bullshit is what they specialise in and you've been caught up by them hook, line and sinker. -
Re: Tactical voting may not be Farage’s friend – politicalbetting.com
The law has been clarified. Men CANNOT become women by surgery, by fairy dust, by will power. I have every sympathy for transwomen. And they have the same rights as everyone else, but just as they cannot become a horse they cannot become a woman. -
Re: If New Hampshire flips the the Republicans are in for good night – politicalbetting.com
I don't have ha full list, in NH they spent over $1,000,000 on the GOP Senet candidate, which was more than the 2 Republicans spent combined. and $250,000 on the 2 house seats. Here is a link to an article from The Hill about 4 govern elections, (including Lake in Arizona) and the assertion that over $10,000,000 has been… -
Re: Conference season ends with Hung Parliament still betting favourite – politicalbetting.com
I think the main issue was that, in London "political machine", the policy from the Good Friday agreement onwards has been "Sort out what the Republicans want. The Nationalist will follow. The Unionists can sign up. The Loyalists can go swivel." The last point is a key to this. NI politics has change since the agreement -… -
Re: If you thought we were having a May 2nd election boy were you wrong – politicalbetting.com
Not a NY resolution, but my goal this year has been an hour’s exercise in Zone 2 every day, by any means that feels good. Very slow running, cycling, whatever. Have pretty much kept to it so far & the fact that I’d not knackered after going for a run has probably contributed to that. I probably look a bit silly pootling… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why May’s Euro elections could be more challenging for UKIP
@another_richard - More grave matters this evening, but, briefly, what is impressive about Osborne's handling of the economy has been his near-perfect judgement in getting the public finances back towards a semblance of sanity without plunging the country into a maelstrom of insolvencies and unemployment. Against this, you… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » How Clinton apathy delivered the presidency for Trump
Then why do you support equalisation of constituencies ? Newcastle Central having 50000 electors should have been fine then. Surely, Montana , the Dakotas, Alaska getting three votes [ 1 House Rep and 2 Senators ], whereas New York having only 29 or Texas 38 is surely undemocratic. The population of Wyoming is 586k [ less…
