Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Leading pollster, Martin Boon, ex-ICM now of DeltaPoll, raises
That is not what the proposal is - hence my complaint about the poor reporting. Actually, in an investigation you do look through all potentially relevant information to see whether there is something that is potentially or actually relevant to either the prosecution or the defence. That has always been the case. What you… -
Re: Brits remain pessimistic about the where things are heading – politicalbetting.com
Its purpose is only noble if you believe in it and believe it will make things better for the people of Europe. Given I and many others - including many Remainers who only voted against Brexit out of fear of the alternative - believe none of those things, it is hardly an argument in its favour. And it was certainly not in… -
Re: On the eve of the election UK punters still give Trump a 33% chance – politicalbetting.com
Here's the Ford pardon of Nixon: By the President of the United States of America a Proclamation Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Surely an Article 50 extension should be used to allow a prope
These process focused arguments are not getting anywhere. If you are going to argue against the result of the referendum from a liberal democratic perspective you have to focus on the “liberal” bit as the “democratic” bit was lost. Most liberal democracies have rules protecting the majority from depriving the rights of the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ex-CON leadership favourite, DDavis, slips to just 6.6% chance
@Richard_Tyndall: People will vote whatever happens. Things move on. Half the country is usually on the losing side and sometimes in the UK the losers have won and vice versa. Nothing new in this. The people who wanted Brexit are in the cabinet and negotiating. They have had their turn and have floundered. Politics is… -
Re: With three months to go opposition to Brexit reaches its highest level yet – politicalbetting.com
Thanks, and to everyone else. As I said, it's not to elicit sympathy, I didn't know him very well and only met him a few times a year at family functions and weddings etc... My worry is that the cure is worse than the disease. COVID is only part of what drove him to suicide, I think the ill thought out, confusing and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The polling data on immigration is perhaps more nuanced tha
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, and never assumed you were just a poor code-monkey. With recruitment, a major problem is identifying the 'stars', which are what we particularly need more of, wherever they come from. I was never one myself (and never will be), but managed to identify a niche where I could earn a… -

Wales In Chaos again "Merthyr council has begun 45 day consultation with workers - but no-one is sure what they are consulting on. Unions have warned a council that it is breaching its national agreement after launching a consultation which could see staff sacked and re-employed on worse terms. Merthyr Tydfil County… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Labour: time to turn blue?
Apologies for the slight snip but it's a very fair assessment with almost all of which I would concur. "Key Workers" have always been able to use office desks but, as with their children in schools, the take-up has not been what was anticipated. I'm talking to clients who are telling me their staff don't want to come back… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Labour’s new leader now has 2-3 months to prepare. How does he
I said at the time letting the Liverpool v Madrid game go ahead was disastrous. A day or so ago the Director of Health in Liverpool has come out and said it was a big mistake. At the time several PB posters couldn't see tany problem with it. You know who you are!) We are where we are because the government nor the people… -

Tbf when Winnie went tongue up the arse, it wasn't half measures. 'It is very fortunate for Russia in her agony to have this great rugged war chief at her head. He is a man of massive outstanding personality, suited to the sombre and stormy times in which his life has been cast; a man of inexhaustible courage and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If Jeremy Corbyn wants to see Labour humiliated at a general e
Indeed. Labour bang on about the NHS because they have almost nothing else left. The available polling evidence suggests that, in terms of key policy areas, Labour only polls reasonably consistently ahead of the Tories on health and housing, and the latter issue is of disproportionate concern to poor and young voters who… -
Re: New Ipsos US polling finds HALF of Republican voters oppose the plan to fill the Supreme Court vacan
It will probably be labelled as xenophobic again to remind people that the oligarch in Perugia, Evgeny Lebedev is the son of a KGB and FSB agent who worked at the London embassy and somehow managed to acquire $4bn. The father, the (ex?) KGB/FSB agent is also often in Perugia and meets Johnson. The son has recently been… -

What debt would that be, can you name any country that got out from under the yoke who ever had any debt applied to them, even Cameron admitted last time that Scotland had NO debt. I doubt they will want to give us 10% of all English worldwide assets. We could start b&B in our part of Buckingham palace and Houses of… -

He was the same fucking idiot he's always been. A competent leader would have strung Labour along, then concluded with a devastating speech on the day of the vote: 'The Government has failed to convince the House that invading Iraq will be worth one ounce of British blood or treasure, let alone the civilian deaths that… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Tories slump to new lows in both Westminster and Euro poll
They can't. So they won't. Manifestos are just distractions and large targets, as May found out. Who remembers Dave's 2010 manifesto (or Brown's for that matter)? The only thing anybody remembers from Con manifesto 2015 was the referendum committment, and Con manifesto 2017 was "we're going to take your house from you".… -

A Facebook event, Justice for Grenfell!, has been listed as taking place at 6pm outside the Department for Communities and Local Government, with more than 2,700 people said to be planning to attend. The posting said: "At least 150 people have died in the fire at Grenfell Tower. They deserve justice. We demand answers.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The diminishing options of the average Labour MP
Even as Mr Llama correctly points out that I have not been in this business for many years, I am sure one thing has not changed. Those who claim the "rent" of one room of your own house for business purposes [ very legitimately ], should be aware that this bit could be charged to capital gains. With indexation allowance… -

There has been much prevarication on Crossrail 2 though as the Government is expecting the Mayor to fund half the costs without necessarily giving him any more tax raising powers - such as some sort of property tax on the further expected increase in house prices in areas of south west London like Wimbledon and Tooting and…
