:)....I also liked the "make him sit next to Prince Charles" comment, that I think came from this forum (but I get confused)

Is > 49% now a majority? Well, i was going off memory, but it's 1.1% off a majority anyway and is a majority of those that expressed an opinion if i was really bothering about wriggling.

Nope - the polls were marginally out on share (and even spot on in some cases) in their recent high profile failures - many of these were well within margin of errors but they then called the results wrong. And The You Gov poll Exit poll at the GE was nearly spot on if you remember - although Ashdown hasn't eaten his hat yet . The problem was mainly extrapolation onto Seats won/Whatever the yanks do etc from the overall share of vote - Plus they weren't that far out anyway ( I think Brexit was the worse) - small margins make a big difference in terms of these precise measurements. For a general opinion poll they are pretty good indicators of the way the wind is blowing.... Experts eh?

My most lucrative recent betting has been political betting. Personally, I think Labour may do better than expected in Stoke, so have had a small investment

3 games tonight......

Poll in You Gov today shows more of UK in favour of not cancelling Trump State visit over those in favour of cancelling it - so does show the Echo Chamber effect. Anecdotally I'd say 90% of Trump posts on my various timeline are veri-anti Trump and therefore you'd *think* everyone feels the same until reality Social Media *meets* reality (see also last GE/Brexit) I have spoken to a quite a few people who are OK with the state visit as a great 'canvass' to protest though so lots of nuances. Edited as strictly not a majority

Personally, always had a soft spot for Guy Fawkes

Thanks for the prompt - I thought i'd done this week's...i hadn't!

He's been busy - have you ever seen DulwichFox and Donald Trump in the room at the same time?

7 on the first page including 2 from the OP, so start another RD that would be great. Let's scrap Football Focus and all just start our own threads on any new Football News :)

I'd quite like a protest about Owen Jones' silence on Venezuela, whilst he's moaning about silences. He hasn't mentioned his previous socialist paradise at all since they began to "run out of other people's money". But he's just another adolescent minded, idiotic middle class revolutionary wannabes like so many of them

Some genuine questions i'd like answered and some thoughts to ponder around Trumps EO on 'the ban' before the whole virtue signalling internet collapses please 1) If it's a "ban on muslims' how come many muslim countries aren't in it, including say Indonesia or Turkey both big population Muslim countries? I think it's actually ban on failed muslim states is it not? I think these were identified by the administration of that well known fascist american president Obama as the most current risk to US security. So it's not a ban of muslims contrary to headlines posts and the general stupidness of the Guardian et al. 2) I've read that it's a ban that ignores the muslim countries that have killed the most americans but these are ignored because of Trumps business interests - I think this is palpably horseshit (see above, the list is Obama's) 3) I've read that it's a ban - I *think* it's actually a suspension for 3 months whilst proper vetting is put in place on entries from those 6 countries (again as recommended by the Obama fascist dictatorship)- is this right? 4) Encouragingly in the spirit of tolerance and defending freedom of ethnicity/religon etc I've also seen 100s of posts on the forum and on Facebook, and of course multiple politicians , condemning those 16 countries who ban Israeli passport holders from entering (6 of them ban any passport holder with an Isreali immigration stamp in them!). Er, no I'm joking, I've seen feck all on this anywhere from the worthy defenders of freedom and decency. Personally I think Trump is an idiotic choice as President and the execution of this demonstrates* - but he was democratically elected, is starting to do what he said he would on his campaign in the belief that it will solve the US problems (i very much doubt it will). But fook me I've seen a bunch of hysterical,emotive and incorrect shite all over Social Media and on the streets. A post fact world full of emotive tosh indeed. * and that execution has had really unpleasant and even dangerous outcomes for many clearly

5 in the top 7 at the moment - can you have a word like? How about one about Trump and One about the Petitions maybe?

That'll go as well as all the others ones have no doubt... if I was May I'd be polishing up my... "So the right honorable leader of the opposition is only happy with engagement and platform sharing with unelected terrorists but not with the democratically elected President of an ally and our biggest trading partner" response as we type

Oh read the other post please - your quite tedious, you know what I was trying to say, but you follow me around like a rash on here, with selective quoting, and picking bits that suit you from my many posts....it's a style that reminds me of some old time posters on here. I know exactly what you're trying to do here with your fake "Quids" bonhomie......

PS great , another Trump thread in the lounge to join the rest
