[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

this thread has become one big shot post currently.

ya I'll tell a worse story a guy hated all over Germany a war criminal the butcher Harris who would have been hung if ye had lost the war. Half a million German men women and children butchered by his genocide. they are as equally victims as the people killed in Auschwitz and Belsen.
and no ye didn't go to war to save the Jews or for freedom or any of that crap. britain went to war for imperial balance of power, because in the same year 1939 britain's Jackboot was on the throat of countless millions of people the world over who had no vote voice or rights.

What a knob head

What a knob head

That's an insult to knob heads. I'm pretty sure even the biggest fnuts who've been posting on this thread, wouldn't want to be associated with that (I'd like to say person, but that'd be insulting to 'people' by association).

 

[Mhumhain]

that's all you can say! the facts are facts the deliberate bombings Dresden and Hamburg civilian population was a crime against humanity. but hey who cares they're only Germans they don't matter.

I'll let you off with a Yorkshire twang and 'Reet proper knob head'.

Either way, the guy's a feminine cleansing product, and the packaging in which it's supplied.

Thought you stayed off this one Taff?

Lads, bit of respect and peace around these parts would not go amiss.

What are you talking about? We live in a Parliamentary democracy. It would set a terrible constitutional precedence that the leader of the UK could enact an important political decision without Parliamentary approval. First it's article 50. Next it's e.g. new powers for GCHQ to snoop in the lives of private e-mails, which May appears to be a fan of.

For those who support Brexit, they should be for this decision. 1 - It was only a few months ago they were banging on about Parliamentary sovereignty. 2 - A Parliament which can contest decisions repeals the worst in decision-making. If you want a success out of Brexit, Parliament will need the ability to contest decisions.

This.

Anyone who values democracy in this country should celebrate this decision. They mightn't like its potential uses, but the point in question is a huge one and it has, for now, been resolved in the favour of democracy.

Tom Brady endorsing Trump...... But how can he vote whilst in Leicester?

Also surpised at the amount of people who though Springsteen was a republican


Also first Christmas in an age where I won't be buying Toberlone, I like how they said it is to make them more affordable but they won't be lowering the price.

So who is staying up tonight to watch the results come in? By 01.00 GMT Florida's exit poll is expected to call and if HILARY wins and looks likely with early voting of the Hispanics then she has it in the bag. By 5am we should know. Unless 2000 is repeated.

Rough timeline I'm aware of is,
Midnight New Hampshire/North Carolina should show some degree of which way the wind is blowing if they both go Hillary Trump has no real chance. Most models I've been looking at predict NH to be the tipping point state,
1am Florida comes in that is slam dunk for Hillary if she wins as Trump pretty much can't beat the electoral college then unless major upsets occur.
3am it should be pretty clear
4am most places will start calling who's President

I'd stay up if I didn't have to work, I'll likely try to see the Florida result before sleeping and then just check up as I wake during the night. I've not been sleeping well the last few days due to personal ******** so I doubt this will be any different.

Trump's big problem is he still need to win virtually every true battleground state even Florida won't do it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Up at half 4 for work tomorrow so should be watching around the time of the fireworks (so to speak).

 

[Bada-Bing!]

I am not confident of HILARY winning until she seals 270. Not after Brexit. Too many Swing states are within the margin for error.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Well, while we wait for the result to come in. Let's recap on the past 3 debates courtesy of SNL:

1st debate:



2nd debate:



3rd debate:

Trump talking about hacked computer terminals and already lodging protests in Nevada....not going to go quietly even if he gets destroyed I fear.

i am going to dismiss your logic and continue to believe that this is in the bag

Well Hillary still needs to get that 270 electoral college votes; it's not over until she gets to that magic figure. But the Swing states to look out for are as you point out New Hampshire, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio. Trump can't win it without those the electoral college votes from those States.

 

[McTallshort]

If the person that wins this lasts more than a term I will be shocked

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Surpised SNL is still going last time I saw a couple of episodes there where awful.
