  1. It’s a matter very many people regard as deeply offensive, especially those who lost family members to COVID and were not permitted to attend hospitals or even funerals to say their goodbyes. Refer outcome of bi-elections.
  2. Except immigration from European nations wasn’t the immigration that ‘Leave’ campaigned on. If you take time to look you’ll find a few Leave Campaign Poster images and wide spread discussion on their messaging to remind you of what immigration Leave campaigned on.
  3. Perhaps you can get back to the reality of who is actually PM and the mess he’s making of the job.
  4. What’s this nonsense about what a woman decides to do with a man’s body? Oh, it’s more of your ‘man pity’. If you are going to engage in the philosophical, I suggest you get to grips with the concept of ‘false equivalence.
  5. Actually there is. The PM may call an election whenever he chooses. Calling an early election might be an option to bring rebel Tory MPs into line. It might also be a tactical choice given the consensus amongst economic analysts that inflation and other economic woes are only going to get worse. An early election might be a better option for Johnson if he believes he’ll maintain power, albeit with a reduced majority versus losing power if he runs to full term. Johnson will decide on the basis of what’s best for Johnson, he has no other consideration.
  6. Added to which the UK has stagnant growth. It’s not just worker’s wages that are falling behind inflation but the whole economy. Inward investment is down, internal investment is down, skills and worker shortages across all sectors. Its a mess, and it’s not getting any better.
  7. Perhaps you’d prefer something from the ‘political rightwing’ of British newspapers: https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1631182/boris-johnson-no-confidence-vote-conservative-party-prime-minister-tory-rebels-vn
  8. You mean people not happy with the PM, his Government and the mess they are making of the UK. Yes I agree, voting them out is an excellent means of protest.
  9. Again this is not a sensible argument wrt to giving a man a say in a woman’s choice to have an abortion. You also seem not to understand what ‘bodily autonomy’ means. Giving a man any say what so ever over the choices a woman makes with her own body strips her of ‘bodily autonomy’. Arguing for men to be allowed to do so reveals the glaring subtext of this SCOTUS ruling, controlling women’s bodies. It is not possible to dictate to women what they can and cannot do with there own bodies without stripping them of the freedom men take for granted, they immediately become ‘controlled’, no longer fully in possession of their own bodies.
  10. In his ruling Justice Thomas argued against the right to access contraception, also not specifically mentioned in the Constitution and very clearly stated intent to remove that as a Federally protected right.
  11. Surely if a man impregnates a woman and she then gets an abortion she’s saved him from all these awful causes of ‘man pity you refer to? Or are you arguing that a man should have the right to choose inflicting all these causes of ‘man pity’ on himself, perhaps vetoing an abortion in some strange attempt at causing self harm? Do you not see the absurdity of arguing the sacrifices of men raising children as an argument against abortion?
  12. What’s all this ‘man pity’ got to do with the right of a woman to hold dominion over her own body?
  13. It’s a no odd thing. The people who want to legislate to remove the rights of a woman over her own body are the same people who bang on about needing guns to protect them from the tyranny of government.
