Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If there is a London lockdown then YouGov finds it would have
I understand the Government has to play its cards close to its chest. It can't just say for example, 'tomorrow at 1900 we will lock down the UK', as that would give rise to over 24 hours of pandemonium. So Johnson has a difficult job balancing information with practicalities. That said he was dire tonight. Whitty and… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Prime Minister Theresa May Episode II
May should have brought Gove back in as Justice Secretary. Since she has brought him back anyway in the face of inevitable (unfounded) criticism it should at least have been to a job where he was widely praised for his work by all sides of the House and importantly by the prison service itself. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The “Next PM” betting would be shaken up if David Miliband
Obama really has been a waste of space. Even his speech after the Paris bombings came across as a rote repetition by a somewhat disengaged Professor having to repeat something that should be obvious. Was there no-one in the White House who could have taught him to say "Liberte Egalite Fraternite" properly? -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » NO now back above a 70% chance on Betfair’s IndyRef market
I was talking about this with relatives yesterday. The way the referendum has been handled is a bit like asking Scotland if they would like to buy a house, but they won't find out where it is, how big it is, or what it costs until afterwards. It's a real leap in the dark. Nobody really seems to know what will happen. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Betting on the May 22nd Euros continues to be miniscule com
There are no records of 'lawful residence' for EU citizens, and in any case the definition is too vague: what about someone who has been here intermittently? And what about a British citizen who bought a house in another EU country and went to lvie there two years ago? OK for them to be booted out? -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » S. Shields Ukip share – I’m taking a punt at 6/1 that it’
I actually meant from last year. But those figures speak for themselves. Osborbe will be £119.8 billion off. Each and every year. What an absolute failure. Shares for rights (yup that nonsense) has just been blown out the water. Hopefully his disastrous housing policy will be soon as well. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » John Major is right: social mobility is the silent NIMBY
Bear in mind this map has been devised by an estate agent - many of the red areas were complete dumps and are still so, albeit with gentrification in some streets. So this is about the direction of travel, from a very low base in some postcodes. Finchley is, and will remain, a smart suburb with plenty of big houses. -
Re: Johnson drops sharply in the August CONHome satisfaction ratings – politicalbetting.com
One town that looms large in the mind of many Brexiteers is Calais, about which they have a favourite saying that they daren't repeat in public. Since the 1979 Lancaster House agreement, their main reference point beyond Calais has been Australia, for its "points system" and for its reluctance to conduct maritime rescues. -

You're not forced to. Don't buy a TV licence, throw all the letters in the bin and tell anyone who comes to the house to fuck off. That's been my policy for 10 years. The TV license is the state declaring war on the individual so one necessarily has to go beyond the law in self-defence. -

What on Earth is this guy thinking? He’s claiming that a newspaper published a story obtained from “hacking his phone”, when the same story has been published elsewhere previously.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » It appears Brexit and the handling of Covid-19 by the Scottish
On the contrary. The British have always taken a keen interest in constitutional matters. The issue is change has only ever come about because of the need to gain advantage - so ultimately, all changes have been both piecemeal and partisan. To prove that: 1832 - the need for the Whigs to split the government and secure a… -

No, the MSM shreiking about Putin and Russia is bizarre.

So landlords are deliberately depriving themselves of good tenants? Well, it's a thought. In the real world, landlords can only go on experience and risk. That means some people get unfairly treated, but, rather than lambasting landlords who just want their property to be respected and their rent paid, shouldn't you turn… -

Cuban-Canadian Cruz was naturalized at birth by virtue of a statute. There was no need for a "ceremony". See Rogers v Bellei, Montana v Kennedy, Zimmer v Acheson, US v Wong Kim Ark.
