My dad drove us from Ilford (east London) to Aviemore in a single day, back in 1989. -
Re: The worm that turned? – politicalbetting.com
The big problem with it is that ordinary people are put through the wringer for relatively small sums gifted by relatives but someone who one moment is dependent on the generosity of others because they can't make their six figure salary stretch to the end of the month, can then buy a £5m property for cash the next… -

Re: Will the Aberdeenshire hotelier run for a third term? – politicalbetting.com
The abolition of districts is another anti-democratic move. Westminster can’t help itself. Deranged to think that bodies of half a million people can provide a locally accountable planning function. Classic Treasury-think. -

Re: Too many tweets… – politicalbetting.com
That seems very weird, there is no need for BNG if there's no habitat loss. There's all the traffic assessments, flood risk assessments and other nonsense but if nobody can point at a map and say what habitat is being lost then I can't see where that would come from. I suppose if you are losing a tree or two there could be… -

It is never advisable to follow Roger's prognostications on anything bar the Oscars. -
Re: The one party coalition of chaos – politicalbetting.com
I don’t know what you do, but I’ve spent close to 30 years operating at the intersection of biotech and pharma. Yes it’s been evolving - hence my point that many biotechs now retain US rights - but there is a distinction between biotech, big biotech, pharma, spec pharma, Gx, Ax, Cx, etc. Denmark benefits from the Leo,… -

Re: Just 11% of Brits say Die Hard is their favourite Christmas film – politicalbetting.com
A very good Any Questions. The audience clearly are a long way from forgiving the Tories! Nonetheless a good panel. The Labour woman was very good indeed and the audience .clearly liked her What was interesting though was what the panel thought of Kemi's personal comments about Rachel. They didn't like it at all. Neither… -
Re: Make your suggestions – politicalbetting.com
Orwell who volunteered in the Spanish Civil War to fight the fascists. Or Lord Byron who fought in the war for Greek independence. Or Lawrence or Churchill or Boris. We can’t help interfering in other peoples lives - thank goodness -
Re: We need to talk about abolishing the budget – politicalbetting.com
So you are saying that it is smoke and mirrors rather than a real plan? That’s not very responsible fiscal management… (From our perspective if you rule out late spring 29 doesn’t that push an election to autumn 28)? I can’t see them wanting to do an election in the face of upcoming tax rises so not March 29. -

DMGT has about £1bn in revenues which has been flat for a couple of years. Just under 60% from the UK. Consumer media is only £240m There more information if you can be bothered to go to their website -
