Re: The French election: Mélenchon to make the runoff looks a value bet – politicalbetting.com
Of course we could. It is a rock and strong defensive position, we have a bigger navy than Spain so would control all the water around it and shell and fire on any Spanish military threatening Gibraltar. We would also land large numbers of paratroopers there and the surrounding area to take that. Then once secure we would… -
Re: Eurovision punters are on a rollercoaster ride – politicalbetting.com
Although the slight rejoinder to that is that we were keener to accept oligarch money. (If I'd been an oligarch, it wouldn't have been the risk of sanctions that would kept me from Deutsche Bank!) -
Re: How long before Ukraine doesn’t dominate the front pages? – politicalbetting.com
It's not just the amount of money but how it's spent. As long as the government insists on spunking large parts of the defence budget on national vanities and job creation schemes we're going to be in the same shit. -
Re: Petrol to rise to £2 a litre this year? – politicalbetting.com
I did hear a minister pointing out that the UK already had hundreds of Russians on sanctions from Salisbury etc so comparing what we have added to that is not comparing like with like. No idea if that is true. -
Re: April’s French election looks set to be Macron vs Le Pen once again – politicalbetting.com
HY has already doubted NATO's intention should Poland (I think was the example used) be compromised. I suspect JC would concur. I am not a military strategist. I have no idea what to do next. I am uncomfortable that we are watching Ukraine razed to the ground, but I am equally uncomfortable with Comrade Vlad sending his… -

Re: Once again Johnson surviving till 2024 is the betting favourite – politicalbetting.com
He's not really a 'dripping with medals' type of dictator, but still seems very anxious to project youthful vigour. -
Re: Three PB faces from tonight’s 18th birthday party – politicalbetting.com
To me poetry is music through words. There is a rhythm and musicality in good poetry which enchants. And so it has to be spoken not simply read silently to hear that. But the earliest poetry is the nursery rhymes that children learn or have spoken to them - the best way to get them to develop a good ear for the wonders of… -
Re: Off to PB’s 18th birthday party – politicalbetting.com
Had Corbyn won a majority in 2019 the cancellation of Trident and the UK leaving NATO would have been very close. It was only Boris and the Tories landslide victory in 2019 which ensured Corbynism was defeated -

I see there's another strike on. They must have heard about the PB event. Attack the Elite, Comrades !!! -
Re: Three speeches at this critical time – politicalbetting.com
Difference is Ukraine wants to be part of the west; Afghanistan didn't. No doubt Putin will try, but it's equally possible the evil fuck could be gone himself. -

Re: Le Pen and Zemmour still haven’t got enough nominations – politicalbetting.com
I don't think any of that is right - and to act as you suggest would be to accept that Ukraine is no longer an independent country. While direct military intervention is quite rightly off the table, this is a political, not military move which helps cement the status of the Ukraine government. Whether Putin likes it or not… -

Re: In the betting, the money goes on Putin surviving – politicalbetting.com
Indeed, but not to someone who was making a political argument reliant on annexation. If that wasnt the point why bring up annexation at all? -
Re: The fog of war – politicalbetting.com
Boris says there can be no possible excuse for Russia choosing this path of violence - yet some supposed 'loyalists' feel differently and that the NATO pretext is an excuse. Strange. -

Re: Final reminder: PB’s 18th Birthday Party – Wednesday 6.30pm – politicalbetting.com
But the military surely aren't deliberately getting their troops killed in large numbers (which, by any reckoning, must be happening based on confirmed info alone)
