Random Drive By Joke... Bilbo was surprised to wake up one morning and find a Tescos had been built next to his house. It was an unexpected item in the Baggins area. -

Re the Police Scotland video above, watching the Sturgeon presser - Police say they were called to an ongoing house party, police had body cameras switched on. 3 people have been charged with violent conduct, and referred to the Procurator Fiscal. I'm sure this can all be straightened out. Clearly a number of people on… -
Re: Johnson exit betting: Now odds-on he’ll survive till 2024 or later – politicalbetting.com
Feeling like a very minor PB celebrity this morning. Obviously nothing like the fame (or infamy) of @leon or @hyufd. Why? Well I have been referenced unsolicited twice in the last 24 hours. This has rather gone to my head. In fairness one reference was for a post I didn't make (I hope it was good) and this morning nameless… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Given TMay’s said she’ll be out before the next election it’s
The A&CA committee says that the House's ability to express no confidence is unaffected by the FTPA, only the ability to trigger early elections. Looks like Labour have been doing their research. -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » What ‘good’ will look like for the parties in this year’s May
The papers today have stories of locums on £95 an hour and £3,500 a shift. As in education, so in health: the government has been so busy posturing and reorganising that it's forgotten the basics, leading to staff and bed shortages. -

@Shippersunbound: It took Margaret Thatcher three years to get the cabinet she wanted. It has taken Theresa May three days. Not even three days - she's not been PM 24 hours yet.... -

Re: Undefined discussion subject.
Anti-semites? It's a bit like cockroaches - if one comes out a whole gang soon comes out to scurry around. By gum, PB has certainly been crawling with them the last few hours. -

Common in private industry too. I've been to a Novartis management meeting where a global investment of a billion went through after an hour's discussion, but two hours were spent on a minor managerial principle which everyone had an opinion about. -

After Boston: Who knew what? As it turns out the authorities had a only one strong pointer from the outset, it was a Jihadist inspired attack, and went down that track almost exclusively within the first hours. It may well be that the surviving brother will blame his sibling and the home-brewed attack story will carry… -
Re: At evens LAB looks value for a Commons majority – politicalbetting.com
Morning all. On topic, a new leader might get them back to 10 or so behind and hoping for swingback but it might equally be now terminal velocity. On the topic of nuclear spookular, he's not moved anything into position, so a widespread exchange is a fair way off, he would currently just about get his sub stuff and silo… -
Re: Like Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak uses his chopper with reckless abandon – politicalbetting.com
You're not wrong, of course. I approach it from a slightly different angle - if you think we should be running a balanced budget and ideally a surplus to begin to pay back the mountain of debt we have accumulated, how do you get to that? The other aspect is we aspire to European levels of public services on American levels… -
Re: TACTICAL VOTING AT THE 1997 GENERAL ELECTION – politicalbetting.com
We have had an extensive cull round here nd as a result I haven't seen a badger in a couple of years. (The hedgehogs though say "Yay!"). Before that, they used to rip up a field behind the house every August. Looked like half of it had been ploughed. I was told the trick to stop them doing this was to throw handfuls of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why the markets are bullish about the Tories’ chances
There are broadly two types of people in The City who take risks with other peoples' money: 1. Fund Managers (which encompasses both traditional long-only managers, and hedge fund managers) 2. Traders at Investment Banks The average 'life expectancy' in fund management is something like three and a half years. Those that… -

I don't hate the EU and there are aspects of it which I think are very worthwhile.
