I've always been against ID cards but I'm beginning to feel the difficulty in proving ID is becoming discriminatory for certain sections of society. Windrush was, in part, down to an inability of people to demonstrate they were someone who had the right to remain in the UK. It's easy for me. I travel and drive so I have a… -

Jeff Randall at Skynews - Labour 'Got It Wrong' On Immigration "From 2002 to 2010, Labour opened the United Kingdom's doors to more than 500,000 legal incomers a year. At the same time, it launched a propaganda offensive to persuade us that immigration on this scale would not only make us all better off, because it… -

Imagine if Cameron had just said this to begin with...I did own stocks and shares in the past - quite naturally because my father was a stockbroker. Myself and my wife bought shares in April 1997 for £12,497 and sold it in January 2010 for £31,500. I sold them all in 2010, because if I was going to become Prime Minister I… -

I'm not a Tory, but I am going to vote for them. And I'll try to help. Social care falls into the same category as opticians services, prescription medicines or dentistry - something that you could argue should've been fully incorporated into the NHS as free at the point of use, but wasn't. Now, in view of the growing… -

This is one of the weird things about this whole business. I lothe London. Its foul. I wouldn't live there if it was the last bit of earth left not turned to glass the Nuclear armageddon.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why I think you should be laying the 1/8 favourite for Barnet
The Mail is picking up, for its own purposes, something which has long been around: ' Some of this is down to the Conservatives and their supporters in the media, but the blame lies with Labour, and especially that element within the party that hates the idea of Britain in general and England in particular. George Orwell… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Theresa’s Tories drop to their lowest level yet on the Commons
On a superficial level: Amber has pretty much earned her choice of gigs in the Jun 9 reshuffle, I'd say (and probably shortened her odds in Next Leader/Next Chancellor markets). Corbyn hasn't made mistakes... any roll he's on won't have been stopped. And that was more important tonight than on Woman's Hour. Farron's done… -

(FPT, re ivermectin) Something its proponents do not seem to have considered in that in its proposed use as a Covid prophylactic, it is very much an experimental, as opposed to well characterised, drug.

FPT Southam: " What those making this "killer" point seem to forget is that when the mines closed in the 50s and 60s, and even in the 70s, there were other jobs to go to. The difference in the 80s was that there were no jobs to go to when heavy industry closed down. It's not the closing of the pits - or, more accurately,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Punters remaining solidly behind Corbyn
Electing Hague was a ghastly mistake, both for the man himself and the Party. He should have been left to mature for another ten years or so. However, I think you are wrong about Clarke. He was and, as far as I can see remained, a hopeless Euro-fanatic who thought that joining the Euro would be a spiffing idea. As such he… -
