Re: Sunak edging closer in the CON leader betting – politicalbetting.com
There was a very interesting interview with Martin Lewis on WATO yesterday. He said that we were looking at a 65% increase in heating costs this autumn at around the same time the new Tory leader is elected, that the financial crisis for many people would be off the scale, that this would be the most important issue facing… -
Re: Now a quarantine exemption plan for toffs – the rest of us will have to suffer – politicalbetting.co
Praise for MS: I'm tight. I don't like spending money. Therefore for personal use, I prefer to use OpenOffice/LibreOffice - at least since I've not been working and can't get someone else to pay for Office. ;) But LibreOffice is annoying. During lockdown, when my time was really tight, I stole a few hours to do some of my… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Theresa May is still the only politician with a net favourable
Good article about Theresa May today in the Mail on line. When Cameron stood down and she entered the contest with Leadsom for the leadership and de facto Prime Minister she received a telephone call from Leadsom who asked for it to be treated in confidence. Her advisors left the room and after the call they were curious… -

This is from the Beeb http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32176740 Under its plan, any bank or building society that offered such an ISA would be required to invest the money in housing.

To be fair I do work flexi hours from one place! But I would think more people will do that in the future. I cant see why so many people have to commute to the city when you can do it from home. If it wasn't the way it had always been, we wouldn't expect people to go and sit in large offices together to do work that… -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
My brother in law was a Forest fan at Hillsborough that day. Of course this was before the era of mobile phones and it took many hours before the news made clear that it was the Liverpool end where people had been dying. I wouldn't wish the agony of not knowing that my sister and many others went through that day on… -

Wow, that took a while for your braincell to come up with that one! Slow even by your standards. I have been off here, done a bit of work, had lunch and come back to find that was the sum of a couple of hours of a nationalist's mental anguish over how to respond. Freud would have a field day. I guess a lot of your thought… -

This is splitting hairs.

Some of the things that go on in terms of exploitation of… -
