Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » YouGov’s latest Brexit tracker – the monthly average trend cha
And an even more interesting question is whether you have the right to force people to allow others to move into their property while stopping those people from moving into your own property. Because that's what the combined effect of freedom of movement and living costs resulted in. It has not been upper middle class… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Hobson’s choice – the issues facing the Labour movement
Interesting quote from Phil Hammond in Paul Waugh's update: "The Labour Party has been talking for a long time about the idea of a customs union grafted onto the PM’s deal. Those of my colleagues who feel very strongly against that proposal need to think very very hard about the implications of voting against the Prime… -

Yes, that and the whole deregulation agenda has been a disappointment. Much more needs to be done, but I guess it won't now. That reminds me - I have a perfect, 100% free of charge suggestion for deregulation, which will have absolutely zero downside. Currently, for some totally inexplicable reason, if you use an estate… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Marf on tax planning
The Labour leader also defended his own tax arrangements concerning his house, referring to a deed of variation, a tax efficient arrangement that allowed him and his brother, David, to take a share of their family home in Primrose Hill, north London after his father’s death in 1994. He said: “This is something my mother… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ladbrokes make Michael Gove favourite to succeed Rudd as HomeS
Peers are preparing a fresh attempt to block Britain’s departure from the European Union in the House of Lords tomorrow, it has been claimed. Lord Callanan, a Brexit minister, said a Labour amendment due to be debated tomorrow would remove the Government’s power to negotiate with Brussels, handing it instead to Parliament.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » LAB most seats slips to just a 40% chance making it the bes
There has been a lot of discussion on here about what happens in the event of a narrow LAB win (most seats) but not so much a narrow CON win. They would presumably seek a continuation of the coalition, given the effect of the last one I'm sure the Lib Dems would extract a high price, namely -abolition of the Bedroom Tax… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ex-top Trump aide says expect a big anti-Clinton Wikileaks
Crap! Vanilla swallowed my comment. so repeat. There's no point going around the houses each night on PB about what we personally think about Brexit. The decision has been made and it's going ahead. Some of us voted Leave because we thought it was time to take back sovereignty and Brexit would have a beneficial to neutral… -
Re: The ambulance service is becoming a huge problem for Tories – politicalbetting.com
There are two major issues here that need resolving. The first is the problems with A&E which mean we have ambulances waiting for hours with patients inside who can't even get in through the door of the hospital. This is clearly a major issue, perhaps the main issue and has got much worse more recently. . But the other one… -
Re: Hubris took on the law. And the law won. – politicalbetting.com
No. My first thought is - why water wheels? Turbines are far more efficient. Pelton Wheels were often installed at old water mills as the last stage of their operation - often achieving massive increases in power. I found one in the garden of a French Chateau - looked like it had been used to provide power to the house in… -

Re: Low expectations – politicalbetting.com
That's simply not true. There has been extensive questioning about issues other than minimising the number of deaths. Indeed, the terms of reference, https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/terms-of-reference/ , cover: "x) the impact on the mental health and wellbeing of the population, including but not limited to… -
Re: Blimey, I was not expecting this – politicalbetting.com
FPT kinabalu said: Trump cut to 10% on 538 but 2.86 on Betfair. Has there ever been such a disconnect between evidence and odds on a high profile betting market? Yes. One Man started the 1996 Gold Cup as the 11-8 favourite but finished sixth behind Imperial Call. Absolutely everybody who knew anything about steeplechasing… -

There's a well established* traveller camp near my parents in-law's village. Many of their caravans do indeed look quite like that (not as decorative, but horse drawn). Not that it's necessarily relevant - do you think type of caravan predicts type of person? *As it's well established, they perhaps don't do much… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Assessing Marco Rubio: A surge or just a bubble
Yes, before that was a London GP/consultant and is said not to have wanted to switch to politics: the problem was the sudden death of his older brother. I wonder how patients found him in terms of competence and compassion? On laptops, I've been happy with my HP ultrabook - was about £650 including MS Office, and started… -

Shortly after the removal of the winter fuel allowance was first mooted John McDonnell appeared on radio saying 'To treat old people like this almost makes me cry' and I literally laughed out loud thinking what an old ham-no one's going to buy that!

Re: All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand – politicalbetting.com
They want to move to totally open borders. That's what they believe and that's where their sympathies lie. The Economist (the in-house journal of Da Libz) actually campaigns for this. I once read an article in there (it might have even been Bagehot) arguing for this for the GDP boost, and that whilst the population would… -

That's very different. Ed has been made to look very stupid by his support for Hollande and that stupidity has opened up a legitimate line of attack. But it is a disingenuous one nevertheless. France now is not what the UK would have been. We control our currency and so we control monetary policy. They don't. Not that it… -

Re: A look at how you should price a bet – politicalbetting.com
Many moons ago, I had a nice little earner on a civ eng project (*).

Despite these, one building suffered serious damage due to ground settlement, but the warnings had not triggered. Buildings…
