It wasn’t a general comment. But you are correct, it’s the Government’s fault. Makes me wonder if they want to fix the problem, or is it more useful to them to distract voters from all their other failings?

My goodness. One single person you know who manages to hit all the right wing anti immigrant tropes in one go.

You are entire correct in what you say, “almost impossible to verify”.

Florida woman argues her unborn baby should be released from jail
Chomper Higgot replied to Scott's topic in World News
Well I wonder what you meant by this: -
At last, a Government Minister ( who refused, perhaps wisely, to show her face at this year’s National Farmers Union Conference) has come to her senses and recognized the UK’s ‘Ace in the Brexit hole’. Though late to see the truth of it, Coffey has at last seen what I’ve long argued, the UK can weather any storm with what no nation or economy can survive without - Turnips! https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/feb/23/food-shortages-environment-secretary-urges-britons-cherish-turnips

US ex-lawyer Alex Murdaugh admits lying but denies killing family

Liar asserts he only lied about some things, not the things that will put him away for the rest of his life, just those other ‘open prison’ things. -
European Commission bans TikTok on staff devices
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
A friend has very recently put his professional life at risk by inadvertently posting a tik tok video to his social media which was picked up by many within his professional life. Apart from his evident lack of one handed keyboard skills, what on earth was a man in his fifties doing watching that stuff? His job, ‘Corporate Counsel’. -
And this is the political reality. Far more than any other generation, young people are not concerned about the gender or sexuality of others. Exceptions of course are those young people groomed into hatred within religious teachings. Angry old angst on this, and d many other reactionary issues, is dying out.

Double switch. It’s the Florida law that claims a fetus is a baby, the litigant is using ‘the legal’ definition, not ‘having it both ways’. -
The point you are obfuscating is it is the Ukrainian people who are fighting for their country and their freedom. All they ask for is assistance with the supply of materiel and intelligence data to help them in their fight. Your argument regarding supporters of ‘this war’ is both itself an obfuscation and scurrilous. Support for Ukraine, is not support for this war, this war was started by Putin, not Ukraine. Though there is a point, undermining support for Ukraine is definitely offering Putin a helping hand.

A point of note. Members of the Trump administration have managed to run the clock on subpoenas issues by Congressional committee investigations, in no small part because the courts are reluctant to compel people to appear before non Judicial hearings, preferring rather negotiated settlements. This is not the case with criminal investigations under the DoJ in which the Courts do and have acted very swiftly to compel compliance to subpoenas. Mike Pence will appear and he will give testimony, he’ll do so in short order.

Donald Trump says officials 'indifferent' after Ohio train derailment

Yeh, they can vote for the same people who are at the root of this disaster. More deregulation, financially crippled oversight and big business dictating Government policy
