"we won!"

Tell us what you've won then in REAL TERMS!

With referendums, generally, by their very nature, we either ALL WIN or ALL LOSE because the outcome affects us all (or at least most of us).

CP
The odds only reflect positions taken . Polls reflect the truth or lies of those selected.
Henry Deedes article above - copied in by 5xy suggests joe has lost his mental capacity. Yet he is the fav?
I guess Joe will have a bunk bed and a fulltime nurse whilst the Clintons get on with Climate change musts - cut coal oil gas - just turn USA back to prairies.
And cosy up to the EU.
A tasty agenda - ? Who of sound mind would go for that?

G2 - did you. Let's compare notes in a few years time.
In the meantime it has been a great 4 years - the best for decades.

How could I possibly be a defeatist?

In case it slipped your mind, Alphorn, we won! You lost!

[alphorn] 28/10/2020 16:34

G2 - exactly. You are just repeating using different words. Another defeatist individual.

[alphorn] 28/10/2020 16:32

cheshire - don't be such a defeatist. This thread seems to have more feeble minded individuals than other threads. Provides the entertainment ...........but, my goodness wake up.

Pete..I agree, I would never trust polls, or any biased websites, but look at the betting because it is more often right.

Here are the latest odds...pay your money and take your choice. But there is a huge amount of money gone on Biden.

2020 US Presidential Election Odds

Best Odds Donald Trump to be POTUS......15/8

Best Odds Joe Biden to be POTUS..........1/2

I won't be betting, but if you think Trump is a winner, you can get 2/1 in some places, in my book that makes Biden the clear favourite.

JohnKPosted October 28, 2020 at 12:33 pm | PermalinkIn 2021 it will be fifty years since the USA abandoned the dollar's tie to gold, and the world, for the first time, had a purely fiat monetary system.Without any link to a physical object which could not be printed at will, the world relied on the good sense of politicians and central bankers to maintain the value of their money. The results are easy to see. A house which might have cost £4000 in 1971 now costs £300,000. It is the same house, it is the value of money which has been debauched. Governments have got themselves into debt which can never be repaid. Now the Bank of England is seriously talking about negative interest rates. Central banks are also talking about issuing digital currency, backed by nothing, of course.The US Federal Reserve was established in 1913. Since then the dollar has lost 99% of its value. What would we do without such wise leaders?No country or economy can survive without a hard and stable currency. What we have now is worthless trash, backed by nothing, which loses value every year. The Bank of England is supposed to target "inflation" at 2% pa. In other words, one pound is meant to lose 2p a year. Why are we meant to be grateful that our pound this year will only be worth 98p next year?I don't know any good way out of this. All central banks and major economies are totally bust. It is only the illusion of power that keeps them going. People will accept a US dollar, but not a Zimbabwean dollar. The truth is that both are worth nothing, because they are backed by nothing. The US dollar has "value" because it is seen to have the weight of the bankrupt US government behind it. Since when did the backing of a bankrupt state mean anything? We have a big problem, where the elite think they can print money and provide "stimulus" ad infinitum. Logic tells us this is impossible, but what happens when it all ends is anybody's guess..

Always a risk Alphorn that our team negotiating with the EU could be outsmarted, after all EU seasoned campaigners at brow beating dissenters into submission.
That is why they shouldn't even be bothering to talk.
Not too late to walk away.
No deal and WTO.

I'd like to know how the farmers views themselves these days..... Are they regretting voting for Brexit? Do they regard themselves (a) stupid (b) ill-informed (c) being lied to (d) none of the above because no-one could see this coming or (e) it's well worth their financial sacrifice for the sake of sovereignty?

It's what's made China so powerful and in the end that power may well come back to bite the greedy sods in the neck!

Seems. Lockdown doesn't work. Tried all the way from China. Done the experiments. It doesn't work. Virus everywhere, left, right and center. Those who are going to die because of virus will die. Evidently. Delay but never eradicate. Medieval lockdown method has failed. And there are the consequences of other deaths and destruction. The government is impotent, but don't want to show it.Fail means Fail. Lockdown is FAIL.

VIX turning higher. 30 to 40 over the last five days. Taken a while for the penny to drop.The Covid situation is like watching a slow motion car crash knowing what is to follow. The surprise is everyone's surprise. Virtually every pundit and expert agreed at the outset that there wouldn't simply be one or two waves of infection but several.
