  1. Why do particularly mention immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean, can you explain without being racist of course?
  2. By out working the host population. Unless of course you are arguing the host population somehow ‘gifted’ the rewards of hard work to the children of immigrants.
  3. You mean like their kids acing their school work, winning places at the top universities, acing their studies and landing well paid jobs across all sectors of business?
  4. And yet USAG William Barr found no evidence of voter fraud beyond a handful of individuals who were all prosecuted.
  5. The Suffragette movement was not simply a ‘middle class’ movement, though perhaps ignoring the part working class women played permits forgetting the appalling class divide in how the suffragettes were treated by the authorities. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/don-t-forget-working-class-women-who-made-suffragette-history/
  6. I can think of a number of historical examples where breaking the law was the very necessary righteous thing to do. Back to history class for all those who struggle with doing so themselves.
  7. While at the same time engaging in a multi faceted attack on voting rights: The of armed police at voting stations to intimidate voters. The use of armed civilians wearing tactical gear to intimidate voters as they approach voting stations. The removal and restriction of vote drop boxes in neighborhoods with high voter support to their political rivals. The re-writing of State laws to restrict voter participation. The use of telemarketing targeted at voters who might support their political opposition to spread misinformation about how Mail in vote data is used to deter those voters from participating in the election. Not one single tap, but a coordinated multi pronged effort to gain power by restricting voter participation.
  8. Musk has just started selling the blue verified account logos and in doing so has totally undermined their value. He obviously thinks reputation is something to be bought and sold.
  9. Supporter of man with a gold plated toilet reimagines himself as a style guru.
  10. That reads like a bout of envy is upon you. However your portrait of Trump as being a ‘Human Dynamo’ is rather amusing. Don’t confuse people wrapping themselves in the flag as patriots.
  11. Getting a story wrong does not mean that there is/was an altered version.
  12. And what precisely is wrong with members of a political party speaking in support of the of their party and the political agenda it was voted into office on? Obama has a nice waterfront pad, what I wonder might be the objection to that?
  13. Homegrown terrorists. Don’t say we were not warned.
  14. And Oprah chipped in too, backing Fetterman. The polls are as close as they get: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/2022/pennsylvania/
  15. Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of a functioning democracy, it sometimes entails breaking the law. Nobody needs pay people who believe in what they are doing.
  16. Trump, MAGA and the Republican war on democracy prey on the feeble minded. What’s new about that?
  17. "I don’t think he became a Trump supporter, he was against the government, but if anything he was opposed to the shadow government, against the people who really run the government and use politicians as puppets. Like Trump was a puppet." Do you suppose the calls to ‘Drain the swamp’ might have resonated with him and why do you suppose he was so fixated on Nancy Pelosi?
  18. But it raises a couple of questions: What motivated him to undertake this violent attack and who put the idea in his head? We know there are mentally unstable people around, we know too there are people making calls for violence.
  19. And Musk just entered their ‘offering space’.
  20. Actually everyone in the UK lost and are still losing. There have been zero tangible benefits of Brexit and very many continuing negative impacts.
  21. He trying to save the Tory Party from splitting, Farage with insider help took advantage of that split. Tge split still remains which is what’s behind the inability of the Tories to Govern.
  22. “#neversaystartyourownplatformagain” Which reminds me, how’s ‘Truth Social’ doing these days?
  23. The facts presented in court filings. Which is why I and others have said wait to see what is revealed in court.
