Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A Nation once again ? – Part 1 The economics
The Remain campaign, at least in the areas I know about, was very less well managed than the original Join campaign in 1975. There were, so far as I could see, no local committees organising leafletting, public meetings and so on, as we did in 1975. I went and looked; I suppose I should have organised one, but I’m getting… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A joyless recovery doesn’t necessarily mean a voteless reco
Nothing special about the encoding from memory: mostly it's just bog-standard MPEG AFAICR. MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and a weird MS format are also supported as standard. Although that may have changed whist I've been out of that part of the industry - specs had a tendency to creep. More data helps in scenes that are fast-moving: in… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » We have cross-over in YouGov’s BREXIT tracker: More now think
![[Deleted User]](https://wd.vanillicon.com/d2ea526b1b06ed109333f390c7ae956b_100.png)
Before the referendum we were told that the UK had about 1/3 strongly anti-EU, about 1/3 quite positive and about a 1/3 essentially Eurosceptic but not strongly so and fearful of disruption. I think Dave coralled the full forces of the state to get nearly half of that wobbly 1/3 to vote Remain. A creditable result… -

Just watching the BBC the queue at one London hospital drop in is enormous with over 2 hour wait but everyone promised they will receive their dose It has also been reported that the 15 minute wait post the dose is to be tweaked to help the throughput of people -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If the Tories lost a Brecon and Radnor by-election it could be
Betfair's tipster this morning, as a lesson to all of us on the limitations of punditry: "Tiger Roll, as last year's winner, who has been visually impressive in his races since, has obvious claims to repeat his victory on Saturday. I have my doubts, though. He has to carry 9lbs more weight than he did last year; he might… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Local By-Election Preview : 2 Con, SNP, Lab and 1 Green Def
Perhaps, Mr. Charles, if there had been some wise old heads capable of taking a longer view in the Conservative Party in 1997 - the sort of chaps that used to be described as the men in grey suits - then Hague would have been kept on the shelf for a few years. To mature, you understand, to be given time to develop his… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If the CON GE2015 manifesto had been specific about the tax
I was in the Royal Gwent hospital yesterday. My Nan, sadly, got rushed in and died this morning. She was 84 and and had been ill a while. Sad loss, she was a lovely woman. My Dad, her son, has been in a care home since March with Alzheimers. It was chaos in the hospital. Dreadful scenes. Patients suffering in corridors,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A knighthood for Colonel Tom Moore?
Well over 70 and I've had mild asthma as long as I can remember. Never been hospitalised, or needed oxygen, but stress accentuates it, and I'm feeling that now. Can't do my gym trips of course, but i'm having at least half an hours walk a day. Sometimes an hour. -

The depths of Corbyn's achievement becomes more exposed as the hours from the poll pass. What a total and utter disaster he has been for Labour. I hope all those Lab activists who voted twice can live with themselves. -

Re: Undefined discussion subject.
I've been watching BBC for over an hour and haven't seen a single Conservative. Is it a Conservative free-zone, or is the BBC just up to their usual tricks? I see Mr Burnham has managed to get one of his many faces on the news! -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » So far Cameron just has the edge on trust in the mighty bat
I've only had anything like that once, when I dreamed that my house was being burgled and that someone was in the bedroom with me. Curiously, I rationalised that I *wasn't* dreaming (I had been burgled not long before), and after a moment when I distinctly remember taking the decision, leaped out of bed to smother the… -

If you say something that makes you look like a total prick to 200 people (which is what Elphicke did) you can't be surprised if one of them, for whatever reason, decides to share that even more widely such that you look like a total prick to many more than 200 people. That has always been the case. I don't get why it's… -

Re: By far the biggest concern of MPs today – what’s happening to their constituency in the boundary rev
A bit of a mental whiplash thing here, as last week I was listening to complaints about NIMBYism in Hart. The LibDem/Fleet Local coalition have been pushing for an entire new village with 5000-10,000 new houses within 15 minutes walk of the local station, including 4 primary schools, a secondary school, a whole bunch of… -
Re: The case for Labour making an electoral pact – politicalbetting.com
If Palestine ever holds democratic elections again (which it won’t) I wonder what percentage of the vote Hamas would get? My guess is it would be north of 60% and they’d sweep both Gaza and the West Bank. The problem is, while they are violent murderous Nazi crooks whom the world would be considerably happier without,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » How the EU has bungled Brexit
What was that reasonably clear vision of the final destination? Mansion House? Already divisive. As has been well rehearsed on here, May's error was not to have erected a big tent at the outset which would have de-partisanised the negotiations and thereby made them more GE-proof. Trying to negotiate a multi-year deal when…
