You never needed therapy or you never had therapy? They are two very different positions.

REM - So Central Rain

I don't think her intention is for you to have concerns about her per se. She has spoken out on several occasions in the past about mental health issues, and she has been open and honest about her own struggles on that front. I believe her objective has always been to help remove the stigma mental health issues, and encourage people to talk more about it. Imagine how much better the world might be if there were fewer people beset with crippling anxiety or depression. She is doing her bit to encourage people to seek help without shame.

Although the objective of therapy is to improve one's self...

What a fantastic piece of MAGA doublespeak - a country is revolted by the antics of a corrupt and incompetent US president therefore said US president must be credited with fomenting an overwhelming rejection of the one-dimensional thinking of that president! You have been watching too many White House press conferences.

Don't hit yourself too hard; I understand that medical services in the US are incredibly expensive.

Well, for starters, acknowledge that the war on drugs has been a failure, and try to work on the causes of addiction. But that would involve recognising that poverty and inequality are major contributors to the drugs epidemics blighting the world, and, of course, no major government has a strong interest in resolving those issues.

Agreed, same for his brother, father, aunts and uncles. Let them, for once, pay their own way in life.

There are lots of puce faced men on this thread who will disagree with you. Any time his name is mentioned their blood pressure will testify to that.

So what are you suggesting? That Russia walks away scot free and Ukraine bears the cost of Russia's actions?

I am not sure that he is your man to make England great again, but I would support you aspirations all the way. The first thing you need to do, though, is grow a pair and have the courage to stand on your own two feet. Only then you can think about reclaiming past glories.

I think that the term 'woke' was applied to the article - that is not what is written on the judge's business card. When your only tool is a hammer, every issue looks like a nail.

Why should that reimbursement not come from the source of the aggression?

Personally, I have never voted Labour in my life so I am no Starmer fanboy but when I look across the various options for UK leader I see no talent whatsoever; most are simply grifters furiously milking the sickness of populism for all its' worth. Our politics is so very badly poisoned at all levels.

It proves nothing of the sort. It merely shows that your innate tribalism is causing you to challenge anything that goes against your own biases and label it as partial.

Can you point to any current UK leaders more competent?

Excellent point - rather than the vultures circling Ukraine to see what they can loot, the entire bill should be placed solely on the Russian people.

They are in debt to many countries - Europe has contributed more than the US so by that tally, US needs to get to the back of the queue. But also they are keeping back Putin dictatorship from reaching deeper into Europe; if Putin pushes into Poland, the Baltic states etc, the US will not be insulated.

Scotland is also in the UK. The St George's Cross is not the flag of the UK.

Why are you repeatedly trying to introduce something to this thread that has absolutely no relevance?

What really matters is that the Ukrainian people expel the invaders and receive justice for the crimes committed against their country. That the US is hovering around like a looter outside a burning building, offering help only if the owner concedes to its extortion, is revolting.

Maybe if there was relevance it could be considered a lame pun, but as, in this case, there was no relevance it was simply off=topic, irrelevant grievance.

That has no bearing on the polluting aspects of the product, it simply means that it is composed of shorter chain hydrocarbons.

Is there a 'woke package'? What's in it? Where can I get mine?

Avanti is a publicly listed Scottish/Italian owned company - how they choose to spend their money is their concern.
