Detournement

The European Parliament doesn't have much influence or power and is unlikely to ever move from it's current pro business ideology. They will still be discussing potential methods to try and get corporations to pay tax in the 22nd century. This election is fairly pointless beyond setting out a marker for future a future GE.

I clearly meant no idea in the context of providing an accurate poll. When small changes in turnout can have significant effects on the result it's correct to take projections without error margins with a heavy dose of salt. I actually mentioned differing turnout between different groups but you obviously forgot that by the time you got to the end of your hysterical post. Take that copy of the Times out your rectum and relax.

So what's the turnout going to be then genius?

Polling models can be wrong and people have a habit of over reporting how likely they are to vote. https://www.britishelectionstudy.com/bes-resources/why-the-polls-got-it-wrong-and-the-british-election-study-face-to-face-survey-got-it-almost-right/ I understand how polls work. I also remember that they fucked up the last two GEs.

Aye what the UK really needs is an endless stream of Twitter feud court cases.

I don't fear, dislike or hate homosexuals/Pakistanis/Jews I just don't want one living next door. Between that summing up and Campbell's lawyer arguing you can say going for a chinky without being racist the Edinburgh legal establishment looks very, very Gammon.

Gay people can be homophobic. Black people can be racist against black people (see Candance Owens or Bill Cosby). The Sheriff here seems to be operating from the extremely stupid position that homophobia is a fixed condition that can be diagnosed in an individual rather than a definition of prejudice that is applied to actions.

I think we have to take any polls on the EU election with a pinch of salt. The pollsters have no idea what the turnout is going to be. It was 36% in 2014 and the referendum had 72% turnout. It will obviously be somewhere between those two points but anything between 45% and 60% seems possible with different factions having different participation levels.

Also reading the comments the Sheriff (unsuprisingly) seems to have a very Yer Da outlook on this. You apparently can't be homophobic if you have previously demonstrated a belief in equality for gay people?

You can't go to court claiming £25,000, get £0 then claim it as a win.

Hopefully Hearn and AJ now have to pay the money for Whyte and not mess about with rematch clauses. I've read that the drug Miller has been busted for burns fat. Just stop eating shite you daft c**t!

Yep, and nothing demonstrates this more than the BBC shows ,'Homes Under The Hammer' and 'Escape To The Country' where investment becomes a metaphor for naked greed. I'm old enough to remember the horrors of Rachman in the 1960's and Westminster has propelled us right back to that. Add in the growing fungus of Air B'N B, builders banking tracts of land and demand outstripping supply and it becomes pretty obvious that the UK housing market requires urgent intervention. Aye Homes Under the Hammer sums up the UK in the 21st century. Dion Dublin encouraging some spiv to do a former council house up on the cheap and then rent it out and rake in housing benefit.

When you have high ranking Likud officials talking about the IDF having enough bullets for everyone in Gaza it is clear what direction the Israeli state is moving in. https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-has-enough-bullets-for-everyone-senior-mk-says-of-deadly-gaza-clashes/ There is no way for Israel to remain a Jewish state without mass expulsion or genocide.

If the BBC was genuine journalism rather than state propaganda they would sit down someone from LFoI and CFoI and ask them how the friendship is holding up when Netenyahu is talking about permanently annexing the whole West Bank in a way that is approaching genocidal.

This has to be bullshit along the lines of a billion people watching the Superbowl. There is no way even 1/6th of the people in my work watched it never mind the planet.

I'm not sure the full spectrum anti Semitism attack would work on Bernie.

The conferences are apparently getting rejigged. A Glasgow vs Leinster battle for top spot could add some good entertainment. How the fixtures fall is arguably more important.

Nancy giving the troops some tips on shafting the poor and getting filthy rich.

The details don't matter just the negative impression the headlines make. This is probably less of an issue for Labour than Brexit.

Apart from the fact that he has been interviewed twice. Once in Stockholm and once in London.

Aye give us a shout when Sweden reopens the investigation. It'll be about five minutes after the DOJ plane takes off.

I saw someone say yesterday the Champion's Cup winner's league only gets an extra place if all 4 Challenge Cup semi finalists have qualified through their leagues. That won't happen this year. Edinburgh need a bonus win against Glasgow to make the Champions Cup playoff.

The bottom line is nothing is happening in Sweden regarding JA. It's a deflection tactic so the media don't have to discuss the prospect of him being sent to the USA until he is on the plane.

The commentariat didn't care when Ed Milliband was being slandered for not eating a bacon roll properly or having a father who hated the UK. Anti semitism is simply the stick they have to beat Corbyn.
