He predicted right on Brexit, which is more than most (even those who voted for it) got right.

On the night of the referendum he said if was close then there would be a rerun, that means he was expecting to lose. Of course he denied saying it even though it was on camera. He said he meant something else. When he found out he'd won he was suddenly outraged at the idea of a rerun.

In any case it looks like Brexit is finally about to come home to roost.

Yep highly paid trader and then successful businessman who retired early, went into politics. He ran a number of national parties and was voted an MEP repeatedly. Then became a highly paid national broadcaster. With a net worth of $4 million is now is described as a loser by an invisible keyboard warrior, I can hear him crying now.

And he called it in 2017. A 10% swing would have nailed it. I'd say that was as good as a political prediction could be.

I really wish I could see his betting slip so I could bet the opposite, this man is such a ******* loser:

"Projections at the close of voting, which are generally reliable, showed Mr. Macron, a centrist, gaining 58.5 percent of the vote to Ms. Le Pen’s 41.5 percent."

And that's not roughly 60-40?

No it's 58.5 to 41.5.


More importantly is that horrid fascist Putin lovin' woman standing down after her third defeat or is she going to have to be forced out?

so you were talking bollocks no change there then...

It's close to 40 to 60 split, that's very big gap, credible win.

Projections at the close of voting, which are generally reliable, showed Mr. Macron, a centrist, gaining 58.5 percent of the vote to Ms. Le Pen’s 41.5 percent. His victory was much narrower than in 2017, when the margin was 66.1 percent to 33.9 percent for Ms. Le Pen, but wider than appeared likely two weeks ago.

oooh a brexit percentage, maybe you remoaners want a retry?

Good result under the circumstances, now hopefully Marcon will stop licking Putler's arse and give some serious heavy weapons to Ukraine.

Macron it is, then.

If someone lives in France, there is no such thing as non-dom status. If you want to pay hardly any tax you need to live in Monaco. Where you pay slightly less than hardly any tax...

Maybe this will clear it up for you: The Mail is owned by the Rothermere family. The current Lord Rothermere’s father loved Great Britain so much he went to live in France as a tax exile. He then passed on the nom-dom status to his son who doesn’t actually pay the normal amount of tax despite owning a newspaper that’s owned through various tax companies in Bermuda.
