Brilliant. Avoid paying for the car park if you're picking someone up from the station by stopping on the double-yellows right outside instead. It's not as if the double-yellows are there for a reason, after all. It's just political correctness gone mad. You've got a car, so you're entitled to...

Withhold now a NR, bad scope.

Withhold and Stratum both among the five-days for the Northumberland Plate on Saturday. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

But you can't simply transpose the current parties, policies and vote shares to those that would operate following the introduction of PR. The need to reach 51pc of votes would force both of the current big two towards the centre ground in policy terms *before* the election, while the Lib Dems...

And I'll see your Israel and Italy and raise you with Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, which bear a lot more resemblance to the UK in terms of their history, economies, geographical location and so on. The Dutch and Belgians even have constitutional monarchies as well as PR and strike me as...

Interesting. I'd argue that the precise opposite is the case. Over decades, FPTP erodes the middle ground and when the pendulum swings, it swings a little bit further. If - or rather when - it swings again in the UK, it will be much further left than last time, even if Corbyn gets dumped in the...

The inherent contradictions here are remarkable. You revel in being the unco-operative "cousin" in a 28-country organisation that is founded on the principle of co-operation. They didn't vote to kick us out of the biggest free-trade bloc on the planet - we voted to leave, and if/when we leave...

You can check out whenever you like, no problem. But you need to settle up for the last 40 years in the best room in the place, and also pay the bar tab (£39bn if memory serves). Then, assuming you don't want to be sleeping in a doorway tonight, you need to sort out what you're paying for the...

He's definitely got a bit of traction, but 25-1 to 14-1 is only the difference between a 4pc chance and 7pc.

Fifth in the betting at 14-1, which isn't quite no-hoper odds. Hard to see how he gets on the ballot paper though, and even harder to see the crusty old Home Counties types going for him over a blood-and-thunder no-dealer if he does.

Wouldn't the effect on betting markets depend on the extent to which one balances out the other? My guess (though it may prove to be hopelessly wrong) would be that in the long run, VAR will rule out more goals than it "creates", if that's the right word, because defending is easier than...

Guess the odds reflect stories that they're going to be sold to a billionaire from Abu Dhabi. If that falls through, they'll probably come in a point or two (they're 12-1 at the moment).

Not sure how to paste web pages, but the relegation odds now that the division is complete are: 1.8 Sheff Utd (4/5) 1.95 Norwich (19/20) 3.25 Burnley (9/4) 3.5 Albion (5/2) 3.5 Villa (5/2) 6 Southampton (5/1) 7 Palace (6/1) 7.5 Watford (13/2) 8 Bournemouth (7/1) 13 bar (12/1)

No, "ramifications" in this context refers to the necessary compromises and costs to effect an orderly withdrawal, bearing in mind that - as opposed to the lie that was spun during the campaign - we need them a lot more than they need us. If we crash out on 31 October, we will be a relatively...

1. Not all Leave voters were racist bigots. 2. All, or almost all, racist bigots were Leave voters. There is no contradiction in these two statements. Are you truly incapable of seeing the distinction, or just wilfully ignoring it? Who can say what the Leave/Remain divide was among...

You seemed to suggest that leaving the EU and staying in the single market isn't Brexit. I don't understand why. It's still leaving, and that's what they all voted for.

Why? The question was whether we wanted to leave the EU. Unless I got a different ballot paper to everyone else, the single market didn't get a mention.

There are also around 2m British citizens who turned 18 since the referendum and will live with the consequences of Brexit longer than anyone. Have you factored them in, or is it just their bad luck that they weren't born in time?

Doubt there will be much happening before the playoff final - if Derby go up, they will be a fair bit shorter for the drop than Villa.

PP were 7-4 on 13 May and pushed us out to 2-1 after Hughton was sacked the next day. At the best price in the village, though, we've gone the other way - 11-4 to 5-2.
