    I'd be in favour of fines but not giving them points.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree - polling companies rarely seem to use methods which capture the whole population (especially the older, perhaps Tory-biased people) because they focus on online polling. It's like asking us to believe that the views (on pretty much any subject you care to mention) expressed on social...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I take your point. I don't quite understand why the Tories have given up fielding electable candidates in some of their heartlands. This Bone-lite woman is one case, but another was in the Mid Beds constituency vacated by the lunatic Dorries - they decided to put their weight behind the guy who...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That was sort of the point i was trying to make. Trust an academic expert in election statistics to put it better than a tired biosafety specialist!!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sure, but my point is that the actual Labour vote didn't swing anywhere - it was simply the collapse of the Tory vote. Sure, if the same thing happens at the GE this year, it will be a pasting, but will the inevitably larger GE turnout all vote to the same pattern as yesterday, or are all the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    So the Tories took a kicking in both by-elections yesterday, with enormous swings to Labour. However ... as has been the case in many of the recent by-elections in this Parliament, the result is not as stunning for Starmer as they are suggesting, in my view: In Wellingborough, the number of...

    If there is a lot of it emerging, that would seem sensible

    It's given to infants and adults over 65 on the NHS. She is neither!

    Anyone else had this cold, headaches chest infection thing

    My missus has had a chesty cough for about 4 weeks. She was diagnosed the first time at the GP with a chest infection (no shit, Sherlock) and gave her 5 days of doxycycline. Didn't touch it so she rang the GP again and a different doctor gave her amoxicillin for 5 days. Didn't touch it. Saw...

    Roy Hodgson

    Who?? I have zero interest in European football, so i'm completely in the dark when these new names are bandied about! Mind you, i couldn't really care who manages Palarse either so i don't even know why i'm here :D

    Roy Hodgson

    Not sure there would be much interest in him from genuinely bigger clubs. He did well getting Brighton to the next level, but was inept at Chelsea. Emperor's New Clothes

    Exactly this - but can you imagine the bleating if sanctions were imposed on "poor widdle Iswael"?

    Death List 2024

    Well i was told not to speak ill of the dead, but i thought he should have been put out to DJ pasture a long time ago. Not my cup of tea, but it's sad for his family and those who will miss him.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    The thing that makes it so much worse (and falling under the definition of ethnic cleansing) is that Israel TOLD people to move from Gaza City because they were going to attack, so they moved to Khan Yunis, then they started bombarding that and told people to move to Rafah. There are now over...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Palestine has a right to exist. WE arranged for it to be stolen from the Palestinians in the first place. The least we can do is to defend them from being wiped off the map altogether.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I might use their definition of self-defence in my upcoming court case. Someone beat me up, so i sat on it and pondered for a fairly long period, then went and hunted the bastard down and stabbed him and his entire village to death. But no, t wasn't murder, it was self-defence. They surely...
