  1. Yes. Probably. But here is what one of the Bullboard posters wrote: RE:again..good buying opportunity after strong numbers...

  5. NO SYMPATHY for MAY's Tears Owen Jones responds Political commentator Owen Jones, who identifies as gay, appeared on Sky News to discuss Theresa May’s tearful resignation. Sky News presenter Adam Boulton asked during a TV segment: ‘Owen, you say you don’t have much sympathy for her?’ Jones then replied: ‘I’ve got less than no sympathy for her. ‘She didn’t publicly break down publicly over the victims of Windrush, who, because of her policies, were driven from their homes, denied medical care, and even kicked out the country. ‘She didn’t cry publicly over the dozens of working class people who burned to death in Grenfell Tower. She didn’t weep publicly over those who’ve had their benefits stripped from them, those driven to food banks, because of her policies. The victims of universal credit. ‘I think our media can often express much more sympathy for the powerful – in her case, she will lead a no doubt comfortable and affluent life to her very end, rather than the victims of their policies, who I’m afraid have been driven into misery, insecurity and turmoil as a direct result,’ Jones said. Reporter: ‘Can’t you just respond on a human level?’ Boulton then asked: ‘Can’t you just respond on a human level?’ Jones responded: ‘I have responded on a human level. ‘I’ve spoken about the humanity of those who have suffered as a consequence of her policies and I wish the news would give far more space to them rather than spending time discussing the prime minister crying because she can no longer hold the most powerful job in the country,’ he said. Many people took to Twitter to share Jones’ sentiment in condemning Theresa May’s policies and to share the video. One tweet has almost 200,000 likes and 60,000 retweets, at the time of writing. Jones then tweeted: ‘Don’t feel sorry for Theresa May. Feel sorry for the victims of her policies.’

  7. BOJO : NO MO JO? Delingpole: Bojo Has Lost His Mojo. Britain Needs a New Margaret Thatcher The current favourite to replace Theresa May is Boris Johnson. But I worry that Bojo has lost his mojo. I noticed this last October at the Conservative Party conference when he gave his big speech: there were queues round the block; everyone wanted to be there for the moment when Boris staked his claim as the heir to Thatcher — or, as I rather hoped at the time, the British Donald Trump. But he fluffed it. It was competent, but unmemorable. Neither then nor since has Boris shown any indication that he understands the scale of the task ahead of him. The Conservative Party is in such a bad way it doesn’t need a loveable buffoon to jolly it along and give the chaps and chapesses a bit of a fillip. It needs a cancer surgeon. Boris has spent his career so far playing the fool as Prince Hal. If he ever wants to become Henry V, he needs the moment where he says to Falstaff, “I know thee not, old man.” Falstaff, in this analogy, would be all the things — both people and ideas — which are currently making the Conservative Party effectively unelectable. These would include disaster areas like Amber Rudd, an utterly useless throwback from the Theresa May era who seems to imagine that just because she once accidentally held one of the great offices of state — Home Secretary — she has a right to be considered as a key player in the current leadership contest. Rudd is heavily hinting that, despite having once been spectacularly rude about Boris during the referendum campaign, she now wouldn’t be at all averse to standing on a joint leadership ticket with him. Johnson should treat this offer much as Konrad Adenauer might have done if Admiral Karl Doenitz had suddenly suggested that, what with his rich past experience of government, he might be of help in the new German administration.
  8. A SUDDEN TSUNAMI / Media reports that the Tories suffered their worst election result in two centuries, dropping to just nine per cent !! Farage Declares ‘This Is Just the Beginning’ After Brexit Party Victory in EU Elections TOLGA AKMEN/AFP/Getty VICTORIA FRIEDMAN 27 May 2019 Nigel Farage has led the Brexit Party to victory while the establishment parties are left assessing the damage after their historic losses, with the Brexiteer declaring: “This is just the beginning.” With almost all regions counted, the Brexit Party is in the clear lead after winning around one-third of the vote and projected to have gained 29 seats. In a distant second, the pro-Remain Liberal Democrats won 15 seats, while the new Change UK (CUK), established solely to stop Brexit, failed to gain a single seat. “Never before in British politics has a party just 6 weeks old won a national election,” Mr Farage posted to Twitter Monday morning. “If Britain does not leave the EU on October 31st, these results will be repeated at a general election. “History has been made. This is just the beginning.” Media reports that the Tories suffered their worst election result in two centuries, dropping to just nine per cent of the vote and winning only four seats — losing 15 — while the Labour Party is said to have had its worst election result in 100 years, halving its presence in the European Parliament from 20 to just ten seats. Speaking to Good Morning Britain on Monday morning, Mr Farage warned that the establishment political parties will suffer in the next General Election, scheduled for 2021, if they fail to take the UK out of the EU by October 31st, saying: “That date will become a bigger factor in peoples’ minds as these five months go by. If we don’t leave on the 31st of October, then the Brexit Party will go on to a General Election and stun everybody there, too.” The Brexit Party leader later told the BBC that his party would be ready for even an October snap General Election, saying that it “might not be easy, but that work starts this afternoon.” Recent polling of Westminster voting intentions point to the Brexit Party being ahead of the Conservative Party and just two points away from taking the lead over Labour. Next month, the Brexit Party is challenging the establishment parties in the Peterborough by-election after the former Labour MP Fiona Onasanya was unseated following a recall petition. After winning, according to provisional results, 29 seats in the European Parliament, the Brexit Party could find itself gain its first seat in the British House of Parliament, the next step in Mr Farage’s challenge to the two-party system, bringing about a “peaceful revolution” in British politics. > https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/27/farage-declares-history-made-brexit-party-takes-lead-eu-elections/

  10. Boris Who? The Brexit Party was the clear winner in the UK's European elections, with the pro-EU Lib Dems coming second. The Conservatives and Labour suffered heavy losses, with the former expected to get less than 10% of the vote. Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said he was ready to "take on" the Tories and Labour in a general election. Overall, out of 64 MEPs declared so far, Mr Farage's party has won 28, the Lib Dems 15, Labour 10, Greens seven, the Tories three and Plaid Cymru one. Mr Farage told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "With a big, simple message - which is we've been badly let down by two parties who have broken their promises - we have topped the poll in a fairly dramatic style. "The two party system now serves nothing but itself. I think they are an obstruction to the modernising of politics... and we are going to take them on."

  12. REGIONAL HARMONY (Same language helps) Iloilo, Bacolod harmony pushed By PHILIPPINES NEWS AGENCY January 09, 2019 There must be no competition between the two fast progressing cities of Western Visayas; instead, Iloilo and Bacolod have to complement each other to forge a “very strong region.” This was the call of Harold Geronimo, Megaworld senior assistant vice president and head of public relations and media affairs, during the annual year-end event for its media partners in this city. The Iloilo Business Park “Where else can you find that two twin cities are very, very progressive; both cities are progressing fast, only in Western Visayas,” he said. The cities of Iloilo and Bacolod are gateways to both the provinces of Iloilo and Negros Occidental, respectively, he added. > https://www.manilatimes.net/iloilo-bacolod-harmony-pushed/493401/

  17. Conservative Boris Johnson Is Set To Be The Next U.K. Prime Minister And There Will Be Tears From the Left xx As I wrote a few days ago, the pro-Brexit party, which didn’t exist about ten minutes ago, looks like it is going to win huge in last Thursday’s elections in the U.K. (official results aren’t until Sunday). This is a swift repudiation of the “remain” establishment that was seeking a second referendum to undo Brexit. It’s also a rejection of leftism, as the socialist Labour Party continues to shrink its minority status. Due to the all but certain results, current Prime Minister Theresa May resigned today. She had hemorrhaged most of her support in the conservative party and simply had no path forward. That’s got people asking who the next PM will be and we’ve got a very likely answer. Enter Boris Johnson.
  18. UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES? Anti-Capitalism Democrat Alexandria Occasional-Cortex Ran Amazon’s HQ2 Out of New York; Now Virginia is Benefiting From a Housing Boom
  19. Young homebuyers scramble as prices rise faster than incomes... SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — For millennials looking to buy their first home, the hunt feels like a race against the clock. In the seven years since the housing crash ended, home values in more than three-quarters of U.S. metro areas have climbed faster than incomes, according to an Associated Press analysis of real estate industry data provided by CoreLogic. That gap is driving some first-timers out of the most expensive cities as well as pressuring them to buy something before they are completely priced out of the market. The high cost of home ownership is also putting extreme pressure on 20- and 30-somethings as they try to balance mortgage payments, student loans, child care and their careers. In this April 27, 2019, photo, Andy and Stacie Proctor stand in front of their new home in Vineyard, Utah. For some millennials looking to buy their first home, the hunt feels like a race against the clock. The Proctors ultimately made a successful offer on a three-bedroom house for $438,000 in Vineyard. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — For millennials looking to buy their first home, the hunt feels like a race against the clock. In the seven years since the housing crash ended, home values in more than three-quarters of U.S. metro areas have climbed faster than incomes, according to an Associated Press analysis of real estate industry data provided by CoreLogic. That gap is driving some first-timers out of the most expensive cities as well as pressuring them to buy something before they are completely priced out of the market. The high cost of home ownership is also putting extreme pressure on 20- and 30-somethings as they try to balance mortgage payments, student loans, child care and their careers. “They do want all the same things that previous generations want,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist for the brokerage Redfin. “They just have more roadblocks, and they’re going to have to come up with more creative solutions to get the homes that they want.” A Redfin analysis found these buyers are leaving too-hot-to-touch big-city markets — among them, San Francisco and Seattle, where the tech boom has sent housing prices into the stratosphere. The brokerage found that many millennials are instead buying in more reasonably priced neighborhoods around places like Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City and Raleigh, North Carolina. That, in turn, is driving up housing prices in those communities. Jake and Heather Rice, both 35, moved to Utah last year from Mountain View, California, where the biggest employers are tech giants such as Google, Symantec and Intuit and the median home price is a dizzying $1.4 million or so. The couple and their three children settled into a 4,500-square-foot house in fast-growing Farmington, just far enough away from Salt Lake City to feel rural but minutes from a major shopping center and Heather’s sister. They did not disclose the purchase price for the sake of privacy, but they said their monthly mortgage payments will be $3,000, roughly the same as the rent for their former two-bedroom, 1,000 square-foot apartment in Mountain View. “We didn’t expect to stay in California because of how ludicrous the prices had become,” said Jake, a mechanical engineer who works in the medical device sector. Nationally, home prices since 2000 have climbed at an annual average rate of 3.8%, according to the data firm CoreLogic, while average incomes have grown at an annual rate of 2.7%. And in the metro areas with the strongest income growth — for example, parts of Silicon Valley — home prices have risen even faster.
  20. Yes. I am looking forward to it ! Meantime, there's a shrinking queue for next Leader Gove goes for Boris: Environment secretary renews hostilities and says he is more 'capable' of delivering Brexit as two other big beasts enter the race to be PM - but one pulls out Michael Gove said next leader must have the 'wherewithal' to deliver Brexit His candidacy redraws old battle lines with rival Johnson who is the frontrunner Dominic Raab and Andrea Leadsom announced bid, while Liz Truss pulled out It echoes the 2016 Conservative contest when Gove famously sank Johnson's campaign by quitting as its chairman and insisting he was unfit to be leader Michael Gove has today announced his candidacy for the Tory leadership with a veiled attack on old rival and front runner Boris Johnson. In what has been perceived as a stab at the former London Mayor, the Environment Secretary claimed that he is more 'capable' and said the next leader cannot just 'respect' the Brexit vote but must have the 'wherewithal to deliver it'. This echoes the 2016 Conservative contest when Gove famously sank Johnson's campaign by quitting as its chairman and insisting he was unfit to be leader. Gove's entry into the race for Downing Street grows an already crowded field of prime ministerial hopefuls which has seen big beasts Dominic Raab and Andrea Leadsom set out their leadership stalls today.
  21. ‘The Worst Prime Minister Ever’ – Reactions to Theresa May’s Resignation Roll In A Dignified Exit speech and THIS: “he tackled the really big issues like diversity audits,” > Is that how she will be remembered? Probably Theresa May had clung on after surviving the loss of her parliamentary majority in the 2017 snap election, three historic parliamentary defeats for her proposed withdrawal treaty with the EU, a no confidence vote in which over half of her backbenchers called on her to go, calls to step down by the leadership of the party’s grassroots activists, devastating losses in English local elections, and dire polling for the European Parliament elections. But, with an attempt to put her withdrawal treaty to the House of Commons for a fourth time, sweetened with an offer to let MPs vote on holding a second referendum, holed below the waterline before it could even be table, she has at last accepted the inevitable in an emotional speech, highlighting such “achievements” as her race disparity audit and gender pay reporting. Reactions are mixed, with right-leaning Sun newspaper offered a pitying yet damning verdict in its leader article on her premiership, with digital political editor Hugo Gye observing that “she suffered the worst election campaign and the worst Commons revolt in history… she’s likely to be remembered as possibly the worst Prime Minister in decades or even of all time.” Gye’s colleague Tom Newton Dunn struck a similar tone, describing her speech as a “highly dignified defence of her record”, but also a “clear admission of serious failure.” “But the emotional collapse at the end revealed she is also [a] shattered human being, broken by the Brexit wheel,” he added. Leave.EU, the larger of the two major Brexit campaigns in 2016, did not sweeten the pill, greeting her departure with a blunt “Good riddance! It’s time for Britain to have a prime minister who believes in this country and wants to deliver Brexit! Arron Banks, the group’s pull-no-punches founder, was equally scathing: “he tackled the really big issues like diversity audits,” he remarked caustically. “She humiliated the UK and will go down as the [worst] PM ever.”
