Re: Don’t look back in Bangor – politicalbetting.com
Yes, but it's somewhat exaggerated. Henry's trade policy was a mess, but he ridiculously overstates both the impact of Perkin Warbeck and the amount of time Henry spent trying to stop exports. I would add anybody who refers to Perkin Warbeck as 'Richard IV' and calls Edward IV and Henry VII usurpers while oddly not using… -

"And you know who else came to power by getting a plurailty of voters?" Well, here's a start for the post WW II US presidential elections: Trump (2024 and 2016) Bush (2000) Clinton (1992 and 1996) Nixon (1968) Kennedy (1960) * Truman (1948) In all of those elections, the winner received less than 50 percent of the popular… -

Re: I’ve changed my mind, I want Starmer to try and abolish juries – politicalbetting.com
There's so little information on what is going on that it is very hard to predict what Iran would look like if the current regime does fall. At the very least I would expect a loss of interest in overseas issues and a concentration on internal affairs and the economy. Collapse into Libyan style anarchy is very possible. -

Re: Note the time and date, Starmer does a funny – politicalbetting.com
Rachel Reeves must be doing something right. UK Labour force participation saw a near record bump in 2025. One of the reasons behind this was a near record rise in female participation across the UK workforce. That comes amid expanded early years government childcare provision .... Gilts still a screaming buy, according to… -

Re: Why Taiwan should be worried – politicalbetting.com
Climate change is melting the Arctic ice: not all of it, but enough to enable transit from the Atlantic to the Pacific possible via the top of Canada. Trump wants it: hence his assertive/aggressive/passive-aggressive behaviour towards both Greenland and Canada. So yes, territorial aggrandizement, but there's an actual… -

. I on the other hand did mention a customs union and as you're the one bandying around accusations of ignorance this does matter.

@williamglenn , @viewcode here. Thank you for that: I didn't know there was a word ("legalism") for the phenomenon where MPs abdicate their decisions to law bodies. I've been reading Sumption recently and he is scathing about it. Do you have any other examples? -
Re: An update on Donald 'no more wars' Trump’s chances of winning the Nobel peace prize
What do you make of the mini landscape of "stone stacks" built on Mam Tor by narcissists making temporary monuments to themselves from stones taken from dry stone walls? (I'd be up for repurposing a local hanging tree if I could find one.)
