Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Greek election result: Tspiras set to return as PM
I don't have a pig in this fight to be honest but a rather strange phenomena has overcome the lefties on here overnight and in particular one of two of the more vocal regulars. The Daily, Heil, daily Hate whatever way they normally to refer to this paper when hundreds of stories are written about Labour and the left in… -

This isn't exactly an unbiased news source, but interesting nonetheles, if it's accurate. And it seems a bit odd that our nuclear submariner training wasn't delivered in house (or with the US).

Re: WH2020: The spreads latest and tonight’s PB election zoom gathering – politicalbetting.com
I have been one of the most bearish on Biden on PB. But I find this increasingly hard to argue with. Broward has only ~10% on the day. Sumter has ~8%. Pin a little higher but still only ~16%. There is less than three hours until the polls close. -

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that 7,360 deaths have been recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours, the largest daily increase since last May 10. In addition, it has reported a new daily record of infections, with 259,848 new positives in the past day. -

Re: Starmer’s approval rating no change at -2% – politicalbetting.com
Thing is, Starmer has been criticised by some on here for lack of political nouse, but today has shown him doing the right thing, the thing that Blair would have done. You can say it’s pressuring the police, and it’s true, it is. But it will concentrate their minds somewhat in a way that doesn’t work for Johnson. -

The real problem for Dave and the Remaindermen is that they can't talk about immigration. Can't even utter the word. And ironically, for the side playing Project Fear, it is the one fear they can't play. But their opponents can. And it is the Big One. There was always a high likelihood that this vote would boil down to… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The “any other” government option on this new Betfair mark
Churchill didn't have to explain anything. The British people were well aware German tanks were 25 miles from Dover and the prospect of invasion (though some historians have argued the likelihood was much smaller than is generally believed) seemed very real. The debt/deficit issue is different. Amounts like £100 billion… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » COVID-19: It’s Not Your Fault
I have wondered if social distancing contributes to lessening the severity of infection and not just numbers. It has been suggested that viral load (probably a technical term I'm using incorrectly) has a bearing on how well your immune system responds. A couple of viral particles and your immune system has time to ramp up.… -
Re: Rogue Lawyer – politicalbetting.com
When Boris misspoke today about Douglas Ross the interesting thing he said was that there has been a referendum and this house now just wants to concentrate on covid and recovery and not with constitutional matters If the SNP seek a section 30 agreement Boris can just put it to a free vote in the HoC knowing it would be… -
Re: YangGangAgain? – Betting on the next Mayor of NYC – politicalbetting.com
We are, and there is something romantic about aristocratic power, but the tragedy isn't that that era has passed, it's the buildings that were destroyed in the rush toward a 'brave new world' - beauty that we can't get back. It was vandalism on an epic scale. We have a lot to thank the National Trust for, because without… -
Re: Cummings – the end of the line for his time at Number 10? – politicalbetting.com
At minimal risk to themselves. As I have mentioned, just about every uni student I know, including my nieces and nephew either have it or live in a house where someone has it. So something surely should/could have been worked out to allow them their vital education while protecting others more vulnerable. Perhaps that is… -

The question which has been ignored so far is what effect increasing the cost of BTL would have on asset prices. A not insignificant component of demand for house purchases comes from prospective landlords. If landlords suddenly need a lower price for their sums to add up, it's likely that prices will fall. Previous… -

Rubbish. See what Turkey's been doing to help refugees for the last five years within Turkey, and ask how we'd react if we were trying to house to million refugees with an active warzone right next door. Fortunately, as an island on the edge of a continent we're somewhat isolated from such eventualities. Turkey's at… -
Re: The fight for the Lone Star State – Texas 2022 – politicalbetting.com
I see Kier Starmer has made the tough choice and said the £12 billion should have been raise from Landlords instead. Sigh, no that won't affect supply of private rental housing at all, or rents charged. But I suppose all that matters that a hard decision was avoided and bad people would pay more tax and lets not think… -
Re: Sunak is just like the Grand Old Duke of York? – politicalbetting.com
Who knows, but if SKS is there in July the mood in PB starts to change. A short honeymoon and then the fun starts, PB has been spending an inordinate amount of time rubbishing Sunak. Ive done it myself and slammed the Tories for being useless. However the assumption that SKS is automatically going to be better than Sunak…
