Re: A Biden ad featuring just a Trump speech – politicalbetting.com
One of the supermarkets that is surprisingly close to me in what I thought was an extremely rural area, has recently been refurbished and the new manned tills have a bucket for counting coins and a slot the cashier feeds notes into, rather than a box that opens up with all the notes and coins in separate sections.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » So TMay wins 200 to 117 – but is the margin enough?
Back from casualty - thanks for the comments below To be clear I meant they said we could wait 5 hours for ambulance or we could make own way there - not that I had been waiting for one that long - he was literally frozen up doubled over and shaking from the pain and feeling like he was going to faint. He was seen within… -
Re: CON MPs will do what’s best for their survival chances? – politicalbetting.com
It's irrelevant as there has been very little tank v tank combat in the SMO. Both sides use them as either not very good artillery or to kill infantry. See that Kharkov video from last year where the Russian "Spetsnatz" try to surrender but an American shoots one in the head so they unsurrender then AFU bring up a T-62 to… -

This article is relevant to the debate about Warsi, EdM etc. http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2013/03/sorry-truth-virus-anti-semitism-has-infected-british-muslim-community We are entitled and indeed should criticise Israel when it behaves badly. But I'm very worried by the failure of leaders in this country to… -
Re: So, it begins – politicalbetting.com
There is nothing like a well turned phrase even if meaningless. I was at a party in some sort of a cellar in Chelsea and everyone was passing round joints when someone walked in. Maybe it was the person who owned the house I don't remember. "What are you doing?" He said. The place went quiet. "Reclaimed Land. Man". Said A… -
Re: The conference season voting intention polls – politicalbetting.com
A large part of the North Island has gone into tougher lockdown measures because 1 woman with Covid went there. There's been more Covid in my house in the last week than that part of NZ. When are NZ going to be able to adapt away from their instant reaction being to impose lockdowns?… -
Re: The LAB MP in CON General ElectionTarget Number 1 knocks on my door – politicalbetting.com
The other problem, is that Charles has actually been ahead of the woke curve on a number of areas. He was raising what could be called institutional racism as a problem in 80s. Multiculturalism - "Defender of faiths". Long term involvement in environmental matters. Interest in the quality of housing. You can say that some… -
Re: The front pages on the Liar King’s desperate attempt to survive – politicalbetting.com
There are benefits to both, but people are looking at someone ignoring the 'rules' (in fact he is stubbornly sticking to a written rule and forcing them to do it the hard way) and declaring a different rule would solve the issue. But what if they ignored that? We have rules to bring down PMs or Tory leaders. They just have… -
Re: Why we will be discussing AV and electoral reform a lot more – politicalbetting.com
Hi LP, I’d really like to answer this properly and systematically but I just don’t have the time right now. Please don’t take that as a cop out. It would take me an hour or so to compile a series of examples and just haven’t got that space. But one example which comes to mind is the Netherlands where extreme right wing… -
Re: The final battle of WH2020 – the Georgia run-off for two senate seats – politicalbetting.com
Thinking of this in terms of incipient coup or even global strategy is way off base. Trumpsky is simply firing more people, like he likes to do, if you haven't noticed. Upper echelon of his "government" has been perpetual musical chairs for four years. Why should he stop now? Keep in mind that "You're fired" is the phrase… -
Re: If this election follows previous ones then 10m more women will vote than men – politicalbetting.com
Pelosi (whatever one thinks of her) has actually been very effective in herding the Congressional cats; Feinstein, in contrast, looks every bit a relic from another age. And yet at the same time, Buttigieg was briefly a genuine prospect to be the youngest presidential candidate since Kennedy, and AOC in a very youthful… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Remember when the BBC’s Woman’s Hour asked David Cameron and D
That might be right, but I'm not sure the SNP causing chaos in the House of Commons would necessarily piss off Scottish anti-independence voters that much. If the Scottish Parliament/Government was still ticking over as usual, but the British Parliament has been ground to a halt and the government is unable to get its… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » At the last Gorton by-election the Tories, led by the visionar
Inner south-east Manchester in the mid-to-late sixties was a different place to what it is now. There were many leafy middle-class areas (Fallowfield, Rusholme, Levenshulme) whose large houses have since been split up and multi-occupied; the student and Muslim vote in these areas has grown massively. For the culturally… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Despite the dire polling, Jeremy Corbyn is not going anywhere
One of the current proposals is to go back to the bad old days when all Council services were supplied in-house, and actually making it illegal for local councils to seek best value. By any measure that is extreme as well as bonkers; I'm not sure it's 'radical' as such, given that it is throwing away four decades of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » First full post Autumn poll from Populus online has LAB lea
Oh dear - file another one under "always wrong".. "The poll also asked voters whether they were worried that the emerging recovery was based on an unsustainable new property boom. Overall, voters dismissed this concern – which has been raised by the business secretary, Vince Cable, among others – by 49% to 34%. Even in the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » In head-to-heads Johnson comfortably beats main contenders in
The implementation phase has been shocking, my friend works for a jobcentre plus. People are going weeks without getting paid because of the hold ups, the system isn't fit for purpose. Plus paying housing benefits to those receiving the benefit and not to the landlord direct is also causing issues, both budgeting wise and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The first local by election since GE17 – the results
I honestly don't know! I just wish he'd do his research (and others on here) and look at Companies House documents, which would stand up in a court of law and draw his conclusions from them. As far as I know, he and you have never seen the documents that I have seen so you live in blissful ignorance of what has been going… -

Has Dan been talking to tim? Over the next week or so there will be lots of attempts to “get behind the back” of today’s growth figures. How trend levels are still below their pre-recession peak. The way the recovery is not yet being felt in people’s pay packets. That it is based on precisely the same sort of explosion in…
