Church of England Bishops refuse to back gay marriage.

Of course she can. The fact that she is such a well known figure, instantly recognisable as the face of concerned youth, is testament to the fact that she inspires others. As for quantifying her appeal, I am not a marketer so I cannot give metrics, but she is undoubtedly recognisable as a media face of concerned youth.

Why can her promotion of the climate emergency not be cited as a major accomplishment? Others have done so in the past, but now is her time. She has galvanised and inspired a generation of people around the world in a way that nobody else is currently managing to do. More power to her elbow!

That's why we have a climate emergency!

Could this corruption scandal signal the end of the EU ?
RuamRudy replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I only wish the Met were as keen to investigate corruption and collusion with foreign states in the UK government. -
When internal combustion engines are replaced with less polluting alternatives, there will be no single factor behind that transition, but a whole range of reasons. The actions of ballsy young people like GT will have played their part as they intend. See the likes of groups such as 38 Degrees, for example.

What she managed to do is get lots of people talking about it. If she hadn't turned up and hadn't been arrested, it wouldn't be news and we wouldn't be discussing it. She amplifies the cause immensely, and she excels at it.

I am pretty sure that she isn't overly thrilled by child slavery either - do you have evidence that she supports it?

I would much rather the UK approach to gun laws than some sort of free for all where there are next to no controls over who gets guns, the government is beholden to the gun lobby and mass shootings are an almost daily occurrence the length and breadth of the country.

Do you really want to live in a society where the decision on whether to support the most vulnerable is put to a plebiscite? -

The scary thing is though, that the actors are truly as disconnected from reality as they appear to be; the bountiful flaws and weaknesses they have demonstrated over decades are genuine - and despite how truly unfit for public office they are, they are amongst the most powerful people in the world. We are ruled by some of the least capable people imaginable - and there is literally nothing we can do about it.

I would imagine that financial matters are significant factors in many authors' decisions to write, especially those considered celebrities. So good on him for trying to provide for his family - it is not like he chose to be a royal amidst some of the most dysfunctional, corrupt creatures in the country. That he was born into it means his options to earn a crust are rather limited unless he would have continued to kowtow. At least the taxpayer now has one fewer parasite to fund in luxury. If only we could unburden ourselves of the rest of them...

Video Moment Rishi Sunak asks homeless person 'do you work in business?'
RuamRudy replied to webfact's topic in World News
Maybe we should all apply for Non Dom status then none of us need ever pay tax again. Personally, I would say that if you live in the UK, your children grow up there and your husband is the Prime Minister of the country, you shouldn't need to be shamed into actually paying taxes. -

Jeremy Clarkson says he is 'horrified' over Meghan column
RuamRudy replied to Scott's topic in World News
It's not a rite of passage, it's a nasty, bullying and shameful way for the UK press to behave irrespective of who is on the receiving end. The palace should have stamped it out with Diana, and offered support to Kate and Meghan. They are not powerless here. -

RuamRudy replied to Scott's topic in World News
Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of the royal family, but I hate racism and unfairness even more. This article is a bit of an eye-opener, showing just how unfairly Megan has been treated by the UK press.
