Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » UK total up 47 to 163
On the contrary. In my industry (clothing) China has an extraordinarily strong brand - among professional clothing buyers. A country of limited creative or stylistic skills (which don't matter, since most designing's done in the West), but a formidably reliable network of businesses supplying raw materials, key components… -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
At long last a witness has now been named (in the Guardian) who claims to have heard the "Britain First" shouting. Called Graeme Howard, he must have very good hearing, because he says he heard the man shout "Britain First" before the shooting, when he himself was still inside a building (perhaps his house in a nearby… -
Re: A new hope is needed for Sunak – politicalbetting.com
FPT: As far as I know this story has not been retracted, and it claims to be evidence of Kremlin and specifically Putin support to help elect Trump. It doesn't say where the documents were obtained from but they were probably deliberately leaked by a Western intelligence agency that wants Putin's support for Trump… -
Re: This looks massive – politicalbetting.com
There is very clearly and visibly an infrastructure deficit when comparing London and most of the rest of the UK, I think that's uncontroversial and there's a consensus to change things. I do think though that people underestimate the sheer size of London and therefore what a large proportion of UK population and GDP it… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » What if Trump does prefer Putin over Juncker?
Mr. Max, I don't think we could increase our forces to any worthwhile degree inside two or three years, even if the money and political will were there to do so. You can, it is true, train an infantryman to a reasonable standard in about six months but that is the tip of the iceberg. If that infantryman is to do anything… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Climate change denial is dead – but the fight for green votes
Re climate What does greater 'wealth' mean anyway - when it's overly concentrated and not widely shared as has been the case since 2008. Iran has a higher GDP than Norway as it has more people - is it 'happier' or 'wealthier' - no because GDP per head is s better measure and Norway is a more equal society. It may be a… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A big challenge for Johnson and his minsters is that their rat
Another 3,574 people have been confirmed as having coronavirus in Iran over the last 24 hours, its health ministry has announced - the highest daily figure since the outbreak began in February. This is also the fourth day running that the number of new cases has been higher than 3,000. Reopening the mosques - the JRM conga… -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
Where I think Mr Hunt has pulled off the extraordinary is by taking up the Patient's Voice role. I can't recall a SoS really doing that - and Hunt has been honest enough to accept tough findings. We've had all sorts of SoS who've had a particular beef - AJ had dementia/depression as his hobby horse - but these were blobs… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Fingering the index. A proposed technical change that is hugel
Morning David - hope the rant has made you feel better. It's a huge subject and not really about pensions at all but more about our economic culture and especially the notions of consumption and inheritance. Our economy relies on spending and indeed debt. When people stop spending the economy seizes up as we saw in 2008 -… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Views on Brexit, the deal and the negotiations – latest YouGov
Not sure why that is notable really - the intent to ask for one has been loudly trailed, why wouldn't the government prepare it. That, at least, is three hours they can definitely slim down, since it really is something years has been spent talking about the possibility of. More time to focus on actual substance, and just… -

On average in the UK we touch our faces between 16 and 20 times an hour (although strangely a US study has it at between 23 and 26 times an hour). Masks have been shown to reduce the number of times people touch their face. -

Re: It is still odds-on that Johnson won’t last the year – politicalbetting.com
I dont have the answers. One thing I do love is the evolution of the phenonoma.

And so the fake photo producers use that as the… -
Re: The UK political drama that’s topping the Netflix ratings – politicalbetting.com
Surely the standard defence has been a lie requires intent, and however lacking in plausibility it might require he can always claim to have just been a fool? I'd say people focus a bit too much on letter or spirit rather than both. If you're such a fool you can so easily mislead the House unintentionally that's not much… -
Re: Crime & Constraints – politicalbetting.com
Anyone who's served as a juror recently will attest to that, acquaintances who've done jury service recently have barely been used, if at all. My recent experience is that the inefficiency is with the court processes, all trooped in then trooped out again because they'd forgotten the witness wanted a screen, see you again…
