:drool::D:wenger:

The interesting thing is that there is a substantial swing to Labour, even from the 2015 caf poll.
 
It's the Alternative Woodwork League part 2.
 
I dunno why they keep sending her to pro-tory places like LBC & Sky. For all her obvious flaws, she's on a hiding to nothing.
 
This is what is needed to carry out the Tory plans for controlling the Internet.

:lol: Not a chance that any of those could/will be implemented.

If they actually were, then (all going to plan) as a Computer Science graduate in 3 years time I will have no option but to leave the UK and I certainly wouldn't be alone in that. The skills shortage in the industry will hit the economy hard.

Another thing worth noting is that security will actually be reduced in the long term and quite significantly as that will create an environment where it's difficult if not impossible for future security experts to grow organically and form their skill sets.

Most of the best minds at GCHQ are where they are today because they were able to play around with security vulnerabilities at home and at University.

Also it's worth noting that it's likely that in time new solutions to getting around the restrictions will occur and they will be at Step 1 once again.

Good luck in your degree Pexbo. Where you studying?
 
They had some Tory know-nothing on radio 4 yesterday morning blathering about internet restrictions, like a caveman explaining quantum computing. She either knew less about the interwebs than my dog or was simply exploiting the deaths to demand further Draconian powers.

Removing phones (as in the article) from every person entering the country was something the host called her out on too.

Thanks mate, I'm at UWE, first year is out the way now just waiting for one result to come in and I can relax for the summer!
 
Bad news if the weather's like this on Thursday... torrential rain in the South this morning.

Forecast says rain. Of course it does, because we're not allowed to have nice things. Pisses me off that the rain won't stop the 65+ brigade, but will almost certainly put off the under 30's..
 
That's just silly from Survation. They should make such obviously wrong assumptions explicit and heavily caveat their results.

When their polls become headline news, it's irresponsible as much as anything else.
 
They're just JobCentrePlus Offices now - you can't even chase the ££££ side of things up from them anymore most / sometimes - if your just turning up with a query on a non job interview day, security are known to turn people away, the offices have targets for imposing sanctions on people apparently. Apart from that, it's really good idea.

There used to be things called crisis loans which were repayable from benefit but they were done away with to streamline the system or something. It's all online & by phone now, a lot of the actual claiming process - streamlining again.

Some good ideas, except it isn't either/and obviously, now people can't even pursue an idea of the progress of a claim without inconvenience & cost probably.

But these are just people at the bottom, who gives a feck? And when that attitude spreads, who gives a feck about that either, just people at the bottom, innit.
Scrap Job Seekers Allowance...

Sounds more and more like a massive Tory win. According to canvassers no Labour seat is really safe. Scary.

Who's staying up on the night? I usually do, but if the Tories get a good exit poll I'll be off to bed.

I tend to stay up for them, if it transpires it's a huge Tory Majority then I may head to bed. But probably won't.

I'll do the exit polls, see who "wins" between Sunderland and Newcastle and then decide after that :lol:

I pretty much always stay up for both UK and US elections. Can't see this one being any different, unless its a massive Tory blowout in which case I might just start drinking myself to death.
 
I'm not sure this place can be as depressing as it was after the Brexit result, so at least that's one positive. That was just awful.

Didn't book work off as per usual as didn't see the point, i'll be pushing it as long as an upset is on the cards. Probably not long then
 
That latest Diane Abbot interview is a proper sad state of affairs - it's not even as if he's trying particularly hard to stitch her up. I think he tries to give her every chance. Gone straight on to the headlines on the Mail website anyway.

She's since cancelled doing Woman's Hour (today I think) - not totally sure of the info on that.

That was a rollercoaster night, I remember everyone linking to betfair every five minutes saying "It's alright guys don't worry we are still odds-on to remain". Some smart people probably made a lot of money that night.

Hated that night. As soon as Sunderland and Newcastle came in, it was just like ice started trickling into my veins. Never want to experience another political shock like that.

Yeah, at least this time we expect there to be a shit result. No false hope.
 


Was this the tweet that claimed they were modelling something daft like 80 or 90% under 30 turnout?

Yeah, that was crap being made up, which is why its been deleted.

The polls vary from within error range level to +14 for the tories at the minute, which is insane. No turnout demographic model should be able to change things that much surely?

I think the only thing I take from polls right now is that across all labour have improved by 20 points since the start, that is, just the scores for each individual poll company that removes the different ways they weight things by just comparing them to their starting points.

That is the biggest peacetime electoral swing the country has ever seen.

I don't think its enough to win, but it is enough to finish may, it will be boris in charge by july. I suspect we will be having another election inside 24 months if that happens.
 
Just another chapter in her rubbish campaign. Idiots will dismiss it by saying she's right to not to undermine the special relationship, all whilst ignoring that they're entrusting such a weak individual with getting "the best possible deal."



She'll be running through the fields of wheat again when the EU has finished massacring her in the negotiations.
 
Two figures Boris couldn't remember on Good Morning Britain. I look forward to that being headline news on the Six O'Clock BBC News this evening. Not to mention his car crash on Radio 4, where he condemned Corbyn for voting against "anti-terror" legislation having done so himself and lied on his views on 'shoot to kill'. Oh and he also refused to criticise Trump, but luckily he isn't in a role such as Foreign Secretary or it would be a real eyebrow raiser.
