And the reports in the Telegraph, Express, and Sun were completely unbiased when they attacked the EC ? Your blinkers are obstructing your objectivity.

Report into alleged bias at the Electoral Commission https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/244914/Report-in-response-to-complaints-concerning-four-Electoral-Commissioners.pdf&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjE0q76iPPiAhVISsAKHYANDV04ChAWCAswAA&usg=AOvVaw0wX5ko_fND7EeZOE8BpFYf

Once again I have to ask, is there such a thing as a 'sore' winner ?

Wes, just because an official body doesn't produce a conclusion you agree with, it is not evidence that it is biased. Take a chill pill.

James Vince yet again flatters to deceive.

The Electoral Commission did not investigate the DUP due to "insufficient evidence", because parties in NI were not bound by the same rules of disclosure and oversight that applied to the mainland GB.

Could that be because neither side could withstand in depth scrutiny ?

Would have been nice, but required at least a modicum of bottle from the batsmen.

Duckie, you should be grateful to the minorities in those areas, almost all of which voted leave, with a significant portion of the Asian vote supporting Brexit. https://theconversation.com/inside-the-british-asian-brexit-vote-and-why-it-contains-a-few-surprises-72931

To lose by an innings when the opposition only just scraped 200 is abysmal.

The biggest potential 'fatal' threat to Boris's campaign, is Boris. We live in hope. :-)

So to summarise; Jeremy Corbyn has launched a limpet mine against a tanker, from the non-Iranian side of the gulf of Hormuz, and is threatening a nuclear strike against an unspecified country.

Letting Bertie go and promoting Targett to first choice definitely weakens the team defensively. For all the good they showed last season, a potential starting back 4 including Valery, Targett, and Bednarek is extremely inexperienced.

FIFA issued guidance before last year's World Cup, that told linos to delay flagging so that VAR could make the decisions. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/12/var-world-cup-referees-flag-offsides-pierluigi-collina

That statement makes 2 assumptions about the subject.

No we wouldn't, as it was against Man Utd.

Football should learn the lessons from other sports, such as rugby and cricket; the presumption should be that the onfield decision was correct, and the result of the review entirely the remit of the video official. 1 'appeal' per half, per team, retained if upheld, and benefit of the doubt for offside given to the attacking side. A review of the handball rule is also needed, as based on the last few months I can see attackers practicing flicking the ball up at defenders' arms in anticipation of a VAR penalty.

Daily Torygraph headline today; "Ministers plot to ensure Johnson is only name on ballot".

Root is the first English batsman to score 3 centuries in World Cup matches.

To stand for a leadership contest at that time, a candidate needed the backing of 12.5% of MPs, ( 45 ). Brown had over 90% backing him at the nomination stage, hence it was uncontested.

Anthony Pulis was way overpriced as a free transfer.

Hypocrisy is an essential life skill for politicians.

As GM says above, this is the way it happens, exactly how Gordon Brown became PM. However, some of the non-Brexit related policy statements might be classed as undemocratic, as they haven't been presented in manifestos and subjected to public debate and vote.
