With all this bickering what we should have done was have two lines outside polling stations; leave and remain. A person from each line steps inside and fights it out to the death and whoever is victorious wins a vote for their side.

I pick RS1952 but only if he promises not to use distraction techniques like wearing his pants outside his trousers. punch

Yes - as I suspected, sense of humour failure all around.
failure...by whom - you? I was playing along, hence the spinning grin and the 'jovial' comment at 13:57
Need I say more?

In case anyone on PH wants to remember Jo Cox too fondly, her husband's tribute described her as...

"A mountain climber, an awful cook, a swimmer, a middle-lane driver ..."

All depends on what part of your anatomy you wear it.

Fair comment. Apologies for getting carried away with the banter.

I did consider adding a smiley but almost everything appropriate seemed in very poor taste...

Not at all. Remember banter can be a good thing. It keeps the topic and the memory firmly on page 1. smile

Do they do a left-handed version? Unfortunately I'm not ambidextrous frown

It did say in the Times that Batley voted to leave.

So despite her strong political views, her work with and for refugees, her husband re confirming her beliefs, the people she represented still voted out. Like all MP's did she fully understand what her constituents were concerned about or was she more concerned with her own views ?

That is not to detract from what was a truly tragic incident, but you would have thought that following the national out pouring of grief her death would have meant something to Batley.

the 'Heavy Wollen district' is a flashpoint of interbred whites and interbred south asians ... both who are likely to have their reasons to vote out

She was brought up there So I guess she did know the local's. however she was hardly typically local was she and as so many people who bury themselves in Politics in Westminster reality can be distant.

Her death caused a spike in the £ against the $ & the Euro - in case of the Euro from .796 on Tuesday to .76 or Friday - the emotive response.

Today it is .833, circa 5% drop from last Thursday's levels.

Also, her husband asked that a woman could be nominated to run to fill her shoes, but Labour have (rumour has it) decided to put David Milliband up for it.

I had speculated it might have been Ed Balls. I could see the other Milliband being up for it, but handicapped by association with his brother.

I agree.

The non-runt Milliband will return and lead Labour to the next election.
