He'd be even more critical of that! "That's not how you 'knight' someone! Straight bat woman! All you're doing there is nicking it straight to 1st courtier. And the off-stump of your throne's exposed. Your corgi could do better than that. And while you're at it get yourself a proper dog - a...

I've just got The Who song going on in my head now.

All this prob not good for him after his heart op. Plus when he goes to accept the accolade he'll complain about the Queen's sword handling. "You don't hold a sword like that love. Bloody rubbish!"

After Hickman's holiday video did you expect him to be high?

Just seems a tiny bit harsh after only being given the one test in which all of he bowlers returned quite poor figures. Pretty much the entire batting line-up shouldn't be there on those grounds. I admit I do think Curran and Woakes are better overall so I like them in the team (esp Curran on...

You haven't allowed for inflation.

Yes they migrate more to centre/right but that is often because circumstances and responsibilities necessitates it rather than change of belief. It's selfishness, but for non-selfish reasons because they wish to protect their loved ones. Just as you say 'old pot head' never had to grow up the...

I agree. The thing with the education/political leaning bias was that the general trend shows as levels of education goes up the likelihood of voting to the left increases. It's not saying that every higher educated person will vote left, nor that all poorly educated people vote right (inner...

I agree we need to move on, but the reality is that is largely what it'll come down to - a personality battle between Alexander and Corbyn. Absolute chalk and cheese. One will get on the nerves of one side of the political divide, the other will annoy the other side

That's why they're trying to hold out post 31 Oct because if Brexit has had another extension then Brexit Ltd are likely going to gain mainly from Tory which will help them, although there is the risk of the big cities which are pro-Leave but also largely Labour. Or on the other hand we go no...

No, I questioned your assumption that every single student voted Labour, which they don't and thus made your workings out pointless. I corrected the assumption and redid the sums.

Not really - I do think he puts some people off and others he doesn't have enough personality about him to get them on board. I quite like his more restrained nature to the bombastic personality led politics of the likes of Alexander and Trump, but it doesn't enthuse you. He has also seemed to...

Solicitors?

Bit harsh on Overton IMO

Wrong. Greens offered them the most. They were not the party students voted for the most (in fact it was only a small minority) and two parties who didn't offer them anything polled higher numbers. As I said the vast majority of students are looking beyond their student days and about job...

That's not at all tarring everyone with the same brush is it. Or massively contradictory. Apparently lazy on independent thought yet not lazy enough to realise they have to vote for whoever has a greater chance of winning. The proportion of students voting Lib Dem has been higher than most...

UK to allow foreign students to stay for two years after graduation to find work - Reuters Let's take back control of those borders eh? By allowing foreign students to stay longer looking for jobs. I'm amazed the EU even lets them have the choice of how long they stay to be honest. After all...

The point made was that students are short termist idiots who will vote for whoever offers them the most. That party was the Greens. But the vast majoirty of students didn't vote for them. Or are we now saying that they had the nous to vote tactically for a party that had more of a chance of...

I was talking about football in general. There does seem to have been more ACL injuries in recent years than the past. Of course it might also be that thing of noticing it more because it's in your mind to begin with. Also in the past such injuries would have almost certainly been a career ender.

Because not all uni students vote Labour. It's about 65% of them. Read back through my original post - it's all there.
