  1. Your state pension is not being frozen due to a lack of money.
  2. Thee Government have learned anything, they’ve not done anything at all effective to resolve the problem.
  3. The GOP outrage is the politicized hollow cyclical gesture. For generations non heterosexual service men and women had to hide their sexuality or face court martial and dishonorable discharge. Veteran cemeteries hold the remains of men and women who died fighting for America and the freedom of America while hiding their sexuality in order to be allowed to serve. Honor these people.
  4. Not just one day, not just one court.
  5. They fought in the US military, they might not have been fighting ‘for America’. But let’s take your claim at face value. I wonder which American Freedoms they were fighting for, all of them, or just the ones you agree with for yourself?
  6. And there has been no actually enacted new Government. Policy. Sunak’s own statement on a drop in channel crossings was shot down by an ITV reporter who pointed out that the single month decline was almost entirely due to month long high winds and high seas in the channel. The Government can’t even get their lies right.
  7. ‘Believe’? I’ll tell you what I think. Its a very good idea to run trials to examine the idea.
  8. A pathetically weak and late response from the UK Government.
  9. Would you be offended if the sacrifice of fallen Veterans who were born outside the US were recognized by world flags flown at the cemetery where they are interned?
  10. I know it’s the Republican Party, but for goodness sake, the extremely large elephant in the room is not a mascot.
  11. When I said last month that FOX News has gone all ‘National Enquirer’, you guys all laughed at me. Well, who’s laughing now?!
  12. You’re one of the lucky ones, others not so. Most people spent most of not all of their money. Money they receive gets spent, taxes are paid, businesses sell goods and services, businesses expand, people get employed, they get paid, more taxes are paid, they spend money and it goes around again. Time to give putting money at the bottom of the economy a go. 40+ years of ‘trickle down economics’ has done nothing but strip wealth from the working and middle classes while feeding it to the already wealthy.
  13. That’s an option some would take I’m sure. But what would you do with the money?
  14. If people are given a UBI of £1600, what do you think they’ll do with it?
  15. ‘Impossible’ Lots of things were impossible until someone decided to get them done.
  16. Lawfully expressing their opinions on a matter relating to mass killings of Americans is wasting time?
  17. Good attempt at trying to wedge your off topic Gender fixation into this thread.
  18. He’s already give. Up the USA, what else has he got to offer?!
  19. I agree. I would start with laws to recording all violent convictions in a ‘non gun ownership’ register and a law to temporarily remove guns from anyone who receives a contact with the police wrt violent crimes - People arrested, cautioned, indicted but not yet convicted and all households in which a domestic violence police call out occurs. We know these groups of people are high on the gun violence statistics, take their guns. Leave law abiding gun owners alone.
  20. If you can follow the gun control debate you’ll understand it’s not about hyperbole arguments of taking every law abiding citizen’s guns. It’s about gun controls, making sure people who are a danger don’t get guns. Including keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals.
  21. If the State locks them up, then of course the State incurs the cost. But why lock up people who want to work when the economy is short of workers? This however is not the issue, DeSantis is engaged in people trafficking, good luck to Newsom bring the people trafficker to Justice.
  22. Smart move to do the research now. AI is already stripping jobs out, if AI lives up to expectations it’s going to put millions out of work. How to deal with mass permanent removal of jobs across all sectors of the economy is going yo need solutions. Universal income is one, changes to taxation of businesses making vast profits in societies while employing very few people is going to be another.
