  1. Where is your evidence that Oxbridge admitting more disadvantaged applicants is a reduction in educational standards?
  2. Poor deluded right wingers. Billionaires are going to Billionaire.
  3. I’ll make the point again. A billionaire narcissist hasn’t got your corner.
  4. I’m all for Trump getting back on Twitter. His handlers are less keen. Which is why he rarely appears in live broadcasts these days. And that’s apart from the legal jeopardy he puts himself in when he opens his mouth.
  5. Because you think a narcissistic billionaire has got your back.
  6. And his lies garnered him a huge following on the rightwing. Riddle me that.
  7. There are a number of circumstances in which you absolutely may not lie.
  8. The cards are not necessary. Simply use SWIFT transfers from UK bank to Thai bank and save card charges.
  9. I wonder, has Musk blocked their Twitter accounts yet?
  10. Sunak has refused to confirm he will honor the Triple Lock. My bet is there will be talk of ‘sharing the pain’.
  11. Currently he only has a Thai bank account and was asking if he can have his UK pension paid directly to that account.
  12. He can, but he’s be far better advised to open a UK account, get his pension paid there and never mention he’s living in Thailand. As soon as the pension service know he’s living in Thailand they will withhold annual cost of living increases.
  13. There’s good news too. Voter turnout is breaking records across the US. Citizens motivated to take part in elections can only be a good thing for democracy: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/midterm-elections-early-voting-updates-turnout-surpasses-prior/story?id=92022629
  14. Voter intimidation is well underway: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/10/arizona-ballot-drop-box-vigilantes
  15. The Mirror reported magistrates’ court findings. I already stated I understand why you don’t want to accept that, now you wander off topic into other parts of the world. What are we to make of that?
  16. The topic of discussion is: “OTHERED: How racism, xenophobia and religious discrimination were woven into the fabric of the UK” Implicit in which is a consideration of historical racism in British society.
  17. Of course you don’t subscribe to reports that undermine your point of view.
  18. If £8 Billion profit this year was double their profit of last year (do the math), which particular year did you have in mind?
  19. “after being detained by a steward, he said: "It wasn't a racial thing, it just happened" Let me see if I remember this correctly. ’Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he!’. But did you miss this: ” Magistrate Mervyn Mandell added: "We have in the circumstances found the racial element was there." Van driver Panteli, of Norwich, was fined £500, which was increased by £100 for the racial element, and told to pay £135 in costs.”
  20. Righty-o Paul: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/banana-skin-thrown-black-footballer-13680260
  21. Like I said, Paul, ‘It is facile to deny this racism was real and that it has a lingering presence in the minds of people who grew up in the UK through those years.’ Along you come to prove me right.
  22. Some might see it as revisionism. There we’re multiple ‘messages’ pick the one that suits your purpose.
