  1. You are correct, representation of the public through voting is important. So why support the executive bypassing parliament, the elected representatives of the people?
  2. What’s that got to do with this executive power grab?
  3. They did. And many on the basis that they wanted the British Parliament to be sovereign. This attempt to bypass Parliament is nothing at all to do with Brexit. It is however an example of the anti democratic objectives of the extreme rightwing that was political driving force of Brexit. There is no excuse to remove from parliament the authority to make and or replete laws. This move is an attempt to replace parliamentary scrutiny and authority with executive edict. And here we have Brexiteers baying to surrender parliament to the executive. Quite remarkable really.
  4. well spotted. It’s known as ‘The Glass Cliff’ and not just Silicon Valley: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff
  5. Racism is not a ‘controversial issue’ it’s an inherent evil, there’s absolutely nothing controversial about that.
  6. Public opinion should not influence policy or law making. Is that the argument you just made? Yes it is.
  7. Guess what. The UK signed up to the treaties and took part in their negotiation.
  8. As I have pointed out, the shootings that are giving rise to wide public calls for gun control are non crime related mass shootings in schools, colleges, places of worship and shopping malls. Nobody is calling for gun controls because criminals in gangs are murdering each other. Quit with your obfuscation already.
  9. No there are not. No EU law ever made its way on the the UK statute books without first being debated and approved by vote in the British Parliament. After all this time you still have no idea what you are talking about on matters of EU law applied in the UK
  10. Again obfuscation. I specifically referred to non crime related mass shootings in schools, colleges, places of worship and shopping malls. Off you go again with your obfuscation.
  11. Once again you dodge the fact that the issue driving wide spread public calls for gun controls is non crime related mass shootings in schools, colleges, places of worship, shopping malls. The weapon of choice in most of these mass murders is AR15 stiled weapons. I’ve repeatedly challenged you on this obfuscation you resort to, you never have a response, just more obfuscation and of course semantics.
  12. The Judge is making sure Trump knows exactly what he may or may not say about the case, the court, the court staff, the prosecution and of course the witnesses. He has ordered Trump to attend a Court lecture on the matter. Who owns you Donny?! https://apnews.com/article/trump-criminal-hush-money-video-hearing-03930ae00505487803f8338fe8840ba7
  13. It’s an outrage that the Government believe they can bypass parliament on hundreds of laws. Brexit has delivered Government by executive edict.
  14. Lies stick like brown stuff to some people. I think it has to do with a predisposition.
  15. In truth the Government are retaining a number, hundreds not thousands, of laws they wish to strike down by ministerial edict with no involvement of parliament. Once again Brexit overrides the sovereignty of Parliament. Oh the irony.
  16. I disagree. I read the article in the press this morning then went online looking up some of the things it discussed, I’m sure very many people did likewise. Teach high and your class will follow.
  17. OK so you don’t have an ‘economics’ argument against my point of view. Despite this being a subject you say you studied. I’ll park this there.
  18. You’ve explained why you believe I might hold a flawed opinion (because my political views are not the same as yours). That’s an ad hominem. What you haven’t done is explained the actual flaw you assert exists in my pov. Again, perhaps you’d like to give it a go.
  19. So having first declared my pov flawed and then gone on to tell us you studied economics, you failed to provide an explanation as to why you believe my pov flawed. Perhaps you’d like to give it a try.
  20. I’ve never myself felt the need to deny being MAGA. I guess because I don’t espouse MAGA / Trumpist views.
  21. You do know it was the Russians who illegally invaded the sovereign state of Ukraine?
  22. Maybe Comer’s innuendo will get a better reception over on the newly aligned CNN.
  23. I’ll wait for the trial to hear what the killer says he knew.
