Scum.

The poster said daily news items on guns. Why not let them explain away their posting...

Silver linings...

Yeah, right... More could be avoided by tackling the root causes of inequality and why there is crime...but you don't want to know about that do you.

What evidence do you have what is said is untrue?

Nonsense.

It’s on the front page of main news which includes all world news events. on U.K. news page it’s the headline item.

Why?

Daily? Really? Daily? Don’t think so…

How can you be sure that someone with mental illness has made an informed decision when deciding on euthanasia or whether that decision is due to their mental illness?

“Britain is the only major world economy that has failed to return to its pre-Covid growth performance. Economists regard Brexit as a prime cause.

Well, I know some governments require women to wear things over their face, but here, oh, it’s OK because we’re just talking about how many layers they have to have over their shoulders,” Merideth added.”

And why would that be?

A bar staff member wasn’t paying him the attention he felt he deserved…ah huh.

Good to see that it is possible for nations and people to learn from other’s mistakes.

I can think of a few ardent royalists this will upset…so at least that’s something good to be said about the book. Couldn’t care less about its contents though.

Yeah right...sure. It is fairly common not to identify children of this age accused of crimes. More likely than conspiracy theory fears or claims about imagined cancelling...

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't own a gun. I do care about lives.

I missed the final vote…thought they were adjourning for the weekend after the chaos of the 14th vote. McCarthys reaction and the argument/near brawl that ensued after that vote was worth the wait. Not sure what was said but it didn’t look cordial.
