Re: LAB analysis suggests a double-digit bounce for PM Truss – politicalbetting.com
As you rightly pointed out to them Horse I never praised Johnson or his rubbish cabinet. So how can many posters be wrong about me and what I honestly believe needs explaining. It was obviously frustrating banned as I couldn’t reply. To be fair I thought, I could be a bit all over the road to some of you - but I concluded… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » We could be heading for crossover in the next PM betting
Surely it’s not your ex you need to worry about having the clap? Anyway, it is 9.12. In under three hours I officially start a new job,* and I am off to get some sleep to be ready for it. I hope to be back on PB at some point in the near future, and hopefully not because I’ve been locked down again. However, in case it’s a… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » No wonder Nigel Farage in unconceding – Big moves on Betfai
Wow.. been out all evening. Sevenoaks to Sittingbourne and back, twice. 4 hours driving. Knackered and had promised myself I ould go to bed after a quick peek at the results so far. I'm actually trembling right now... could Leave possibly have done it? The high turnout was what made me think earlier today Leave might just… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Get ready for a big psephological debate on Friday on how much
The only example that comes to mind of local elections taking place within a General Election campaign period is 1955 when Anthony Eden went to the country shortly after succeeding Churchill as PM. Polling Day was the last week of May with the local elections two weeks earlier. Worth noting that in 1987 there was a pretty… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » More pressure is piled on the ERG to back the deal today
Can't help feeling with a bit of planning the Govt could have pulled it off today by splitting it into two stages, reaching out, trying to find consensus on the PD element, and by May not announcing she was going to quit if it passed. Properly planned, and signalled a week ago when the EU confirmed the extension… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Tory leadership contest could be the political equivale
LuckyGuy1983 To respond to each of your points: 1) 'We' refers to the Conservative Party, of which I am a member. 2) Sales of housing do not count towards to GDP, so the numbers are not inflated by that one jot. GDP refers to production, not asset transfers. 3) The current account is merely the other side of the coin to… -
Re: Political Love Island – politicalbetting.com
Sadly not always the case. On Tuesday I noticed an old lady had collapsed on the street. She was being looked after by four or five people while they waited for the ambulance. Four hours later she was still there, now with an umbrella providing shade, and a blanket and pillows. I think it is shameful that we have reached… -
Re: Meet the don’t knows – politicalbetting.com
Have you ever been to the area? You really should go. Some years ago I was in Beirut at a meeting with Procter and Gamble for a shampoo ad. The P& G team were about six or seven. The models stylist and hairdresser were from the UK the P&G team from the US Germany and Ireland with the local team based in Saudi Arabia. The… -
Re: LAB majority hits new high in the general election betting – politicalbetting.com
My recent drive into Lexington Kentucky is something I will never forget I went from the lush gorgeous horse country I had been promised (like a CGI version of a sunnier, greener, if slightly boring Berkshire) into The Walking Dead, within about five minutes (of strip malls) Zombie addicts wandering around the centre of… -
Re: Final reminder: PB’s 18th Birthday Party – Wednesday 6.30pm – politicalbetting.com
Which is why you shouldn't do it. You should allow for wind, and not release until you have a margin for safety. And if in doubt, don't do it. I mean, I know all that talk about drop zones and so on, but the mess they've made here...and we're presumably talking about elite troops as well. No wonder the advance is so slow.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » House effect. The Polish presidential election
Why do we have big cities? Because they bigger they get the more their gravity pulls in more people which makes them bigger etc etc. So many of the white collar jobs in our city centres can be done remotely, perhaps with a smaller city base for meetings or not in the city at all. The Rona has forced a hard stop. Which… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Remember how at EURef Newcastle and Sunderland gave us the fir
Ancedata Alert: Voted today at 5:37pm. Overheard from polling officer / desk sitter (can't think of the proper names for them): I was voter #450 of the day (3rd sheet finished). There are about 1950 voters registered at my polling location. 24.1% of these have postal votes. I live in what was a LD/CON SW marginal, which… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Coporeal on the LSE polling seminar
continued: ANOTHER STIFLING REGULATORY INITIATIVE A new EU directive is planning a register of plants with which to regulate garden centres. If a plant isn't on the list, it can't be sold without incurring hefty fines. Botanical descriptions are detailed, run to two pages, and can cost between £400 and £1,000 to write.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » YouGov finds that people are a lot more negative and less p
OK - I see where you are coming from, but I would argue that the biggest cultural changes in this country among the indigenous population (for want of a better term) have not been caused by mass immigration but by mass deindustrialisation. That killed off far more communities than immigration may have done. Whole ways of… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Donald Trump might be engaging in some polling denial
Mr. G, as a diversion, I got XCOM 2 the other day for PS4 [I'd planned to wait but for reasons I did not]. Harder than the first game, but still enjoying it a lot. My soldiers seem to be getting killed off quite swiftly (alas, Benjamin "DizzyRascal" Disraeli is dead). Some jankiness with animations and low frame rates… -
Re: Betting on a Tory poll lead in September – politicalbetting.com
I was thinking of international tourists, should have specified Oxford is a huge tourist draw. When I was at Christ Church there were more tourists than students walking around almost every afternoon, and that was before they sort of used the dining hall in Harry Potter Wiltshire should be even more popular. I've been… -
Re: Nikki Haley could be the Republican that stops Trump – politicalbetting.com
Completely snowed in now. Cannot open front door. Managed to open back door and collect wood for fire. It is quite beautiful outside. There is a magical stillness in a snow covered landscape. Fortunately the main road nearby seems to have been cleared. So at least we can walk to the town, even it will take an hour or so.…
