Actually nukes are easy and can be done overnight and we do it. Its the other stuff that will take years. -
Re: LAB analysis suggests a double-digit bounce for PM Truss – politicalbetting.com
Even at commercial pace you could build a serious LNG tanker fleet in a couple of years. Likewise the ports and regas feeds into the networks. Unless the European plan is to build their own Starship sized space launch system and launch Space Based Solar arrays. That could take 10 years…. For those who don’t know, ESA is… -
Re: A taste of things to come.. – politicalbetting.com
No it is not. You said Johnson's key achievement is getting Brexit done. I am saying achieving a goal at any cost is not necessarily optimal. Johnson's Brexit is not optimal. -
Re: Why the Alternative Vote system is proving awesome once more – politicalbetting.com
I’ve a vaguely deistic view of the universe. Like 12 steppers, I find it helpful to have some conception of a higher power and kinda imagined it to be the cause of the Big Bang, setting it off like one would light a match and watch the smoke particles but taking no active role save to observe thereafter. I’m going to be… -
Re: Putting the interest in interest rates – politicalbetting.com
Good heavens, I didn't even know there were such things as fuel banks. If only because we haven't had any PB Tories decrying them like they did food banks a year or so back. -

Re: Could Liz Truss be replaced before the election? – politicalbetting.com
She won’t turn this around. She’s spent all summer appealing to a small minority of Tory members, without having the political know how to understand the damage it’s doing to the wider base -
Re: LAB up to a 15% lead with YouGov – politicalbetting.com
As HYUFD will never admit that he doesn’t know it all already without needing any relevant experience or knowledge, for anyone else reading this, you’ll probably have picked up that he’s badly wrong. If you’d like any relevant actual information on the subject, contact me or kle. -
Re: Can Truss lead the Tories to a general election victory? – politicalbetting.com
Yes you can. Two options off the top of my head: 1 - Para 12, NPPF 2 - If you lack a 5 year land supply. -
Re: Getting the tone of an ad completely wrong – politicalbetting.com
Immigration policy aside I think it's unlikely we'll do much of significance that we couldn't have done as an EU member. The fuss made over "trade deals" with the back of beyond is designed to obscure this but in fact goes to illustrate it. If we want Brexit to have a point we probably should be embracing some radicalism… -
Re: Trump back as favourite to win WH2014 – politicalbetting.com
Just seen a photo of Granddaughter Two's Cambridge IGCSE certificate. It's got both grades and marks on it! Coincidentally, she obviously failed to get a A* in one subject by one mark and achieved an A in one subject by one mark! -
Re: ConHome survey has Truss 32% ahead – politicalbetting.com
If not academic merit what do you think university graduates should be selected on? Wokeness?....left wing bigotry?....being a complete wanker? -
Re: The Roe v Wade ruling has made the Midterms less predictable – politicalbetting.com
Just to add most US voters apparently support the FBI raid on Trump's premises, many Republicans may not but the Independents do. -
Re: The Truss view of “British Workers” could be an electoral liability – politicalbetting.com
I am familiar with that argument, and I understand why you feel that way. I don't have any objection to Russia's military defeat (though I don't desire its collapse) but what I see at the moment is two fairly balanced sides ripping chunks out of each other, at an astronomical cost to all concerned. I think if this were the… -

Lichfield is also a city and civil parish within the Lichfield district of Staffordshire. -
Re: Minding Our Manners – politicalbetting.com
(Afternoon all) So called 'Positive discrimination' is discrimination, and is a terrible, terrible idea. At the time Lab went with All Women Shortlists the practice was declared unlawful in an Industrial Tribunal. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/labour-blow-as-allwomen-lists-outlawed-1323046.html Rather than respecting… -

Re: Will Johnson remain an MP after September 6th? – politicalbetting.com
We have a string of potential by elections, I make it up to six!!! Uxbridge, Somerton and Frome, North East Somerset, Tanworth, North Yorkshire, cannot see Sunak remaining after he is beaten, and dear old Mid Bedfordshie. -

Re: Are you a one hole or two hole person? – politicalbetting.com
++++++ I've been reading the Fortean Times for 30 years and indeed, as an esoteric flint knapper, I have actually written for them multiple times. I know the editor, subs, writers, etc If they are dismissing this latest UAP flap then they are simply wrong. This is several orders of magnitude bigger than anything we have…
