Re: December 2024: A tongue-in-cheek prediction – politicalbetting.com
I think as the PBer who probably has most knowledge of Denmark I should probably step in - Copenhagen's pop density is 12,000 or so per sq/km -the reason Denmark has such a good covid track record is in my opinion down to a couple of things - luck. low population density in general and a population that trusts its… -
Re: The WH2024 primaries will be different from what we are used to. – politicalbetting.com
I quoted a paragraph. Read the whole paragraph. Better still, read the whole report: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5fd87e348fa8f54d5733f532/Group-based_CSE_Paper.pdf again. If you don't like how they've written it, take it up with them. They being: - Chief Constable Simon Bailey QPM (National Police Chiefs… -

rcs1000 said: "The UK (and Europe, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc) all have rather better safety nets than the US. There are parts of the US, like old former mining towns in Colorado, which feel like the poorer parts of Romania.

You didn't do anything to deserve it. It's simply that the general population isn't interested in the rights of minorities, unless they belong to those minorities themselves or have family or close friends who do. The Jewish community is relatively small and, at the orthodox end at least, largely self-segregating.… -
Re: Eyes on the Blue Wall: Raab is in danger – politicalbetting.com
You can think yourselves lucky in mainland UK on the booster programme. In Northern Ireland we have behind the curve compared to the other nations. England for example was at least 2-3 weeks ahead on the move to a general call on a booster jab after 3 months. The capacity to have a wider booster programme was there back in… -

The Greens make a big play of being the only party we can trust to stand up for remaining part of Europe, for a final say, and tackling reasons why we voted leave. Yet they have a remain alliance, so we can trust some others I guess. Green New Deal Business will be incentivized to lead the way on the new deal apparently,… -

If you didn't see it - Michael Deacon's sketch captures it perfectly. "This afternoon, a Commons select committee interrogated, among others, Lucy Adams, the BBC’s head of HR. Her salary, apparently – I won’t ask you to guess, or we’ll be here all day – is £320,000. Among her duties was to dole out severance pay to Mark… -

Labour can't deliver without winning elections. Blair understood that, but unfortunately he never found out what to deliver when he actually did win (cf Stanley Baldwin and Lord Salisbury). If you believe that Corbyn is not indulging in vicious personal abuse, you really need to pay more attention. He's not doing it… -
Re: Ahead of the Gray report 2022 moves up in the PM exit betting – politicalbetting.com
Sure - it's a different world. The best of all positions is to have worked in the private sector (e.g. one of the large banks) starting in, say, the 80s and stuck with that employer. (DB schemes in the private sector have all gone now of course.) Someone lucky enough to be in that position would have a funded pot of… -
