Re: Leicester East – a possible by-election? – politicalbetting.com
As you keep saying, sure. Have you ever thought where those views are going to leave you in a few years time, or even now?. In a recent study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 87.5% of the participants chose only cisgender people and excluded transgender and non-binary individuals from their… -

Re: Could a Brexit deal be the making of Sunak? – politicalbetting.com
Epo is injected subcutaneously. When I was a stagiaire in France in the 80s you could buy pre-loaded amphetamine syringes OTC in Italy! We used to bang those straight into the radial artery in an act that was the height of Corinthian sportsmanship. We also used to do just slightly less than lethal doses of sleepers to make… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A year after his unlikely candidature Trump looks set to fi
True, but on the flipside the Remain/Hillary camp is less likely to pull in the traditional middle class suburban republicans, the subruban tory remainer equivalent. I don't see Donald Trump being presented as a threat to a middle class person's personal finances in the same way that Leave was. If you're someone that votes… -

Re: The week that the polls turned against the Tories – politicalbetting.com
It is. Problem is that Mrs RP has suffered heavy periods for a long time. And her subcutaneous patch has stopped preventing her from having them thanks to our 10 year-old daughter having started up (the power of hormones in action). So wifey feeling crap yesterday / Thursday night was put down to blob. Not Covid. So… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Local By-Election Review : November 2018
To be honest it's more ageist than racist. Broken veins and coarsening of the skin happen to us all regardless of colour, although the effect in white people is different to black or brown or sandy. If you strip out the sociological overlay of race and just look at people's skin, people do change colour over decades. And… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why categorising people by which papers they read might not
Just to put a slight counterpoint to the emerging thread consensus, it's worth noting lots of people (although clearly a minority) have a greater or lesser degree of distance from the internet and mobile devices. Some people just don't want to use the internet. Others minimise their use. This divergence is going to… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » This week’s PB/Polling Matters Podcast looks ahead to Iowa
I don't think it was necessarily misconceived. The idea was to make the two industries so integrated and inter-dependent that it wouldn't be practical for one to withdraw. That wasn't the only purpose, of course; the industrialists and bureaucrats (as distinct from Robert Schuman and the politicians) were trying to get… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » On the third Thursday of May exactly a year ago Mrs May launch
Monnet and Schuman began the ECSC to ensure that such events would never happen again. The ECSC became the EEC and later the EU. One could equally well say that for these reasons a lot of countries seem happy to pool sovereignty with a country that occupied them and deported their Jewish population to Auschwitz. I think… -
Re: John Bercow – denied a peerage by BoJo on his retirement – now joins Labour – politicalbetting.com
Pope Francis has put French statesman Robert Schuman, one of the founders of modern Europe, on the path to sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-57534918 Do we need more saints? John Paul II was crazy when it came to saint making apparently, and there's tons and tons who have been… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » With 60 days to go the uncertainty is greater than ever
Boris has reached his mid-50s, when men often start to look suddenly old. Look at the old Top Gear team, for instance. If he had dark hair, he'd be going grey. He has also lost a lot of weight recently so has less subcutaneous fat to smooth his skin, and his hair is rapidly thinning: look at recent clips of Boris in the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Italian Job – Part Two: Nessun Dorma – sleepless nights in
Sir John Major's line. Oh, but that's easy. 1. We are going to revoke A50 whilst we figure out what the hell is going on! 2. We have figured out that most of us never wanted Brexit in the first place, so it's cancelled 3. To guarantee that nobody tries this again, we are going to pass a law declaring Jean Monnet and Robert… -
Re: Will Starmer go full Truss and sack the Chancellor this year? – politicalbetting.com
This is my photo for the day, which follows on from our conversation about hybrid insulin pumps and Type I Diabetes yesterday. I thought PBers might be interested what it is and how it works. This is mine, which is a Freestyle Libre sensor, and Omnipod 5 insulin pump. The 25mm diameter disk is a later version of the…
