    I think you’ll find outdoor exercise was recommended. I never missed a single cycle training session throughout the lockdowns, like most cyclists I know I increased my time and kms on the bike. The lock downs also saw a boom in the sale of indoor trainers, while ‘Peloton’ and other applications brought online racing into the mainstream.

    You don’t think the introduction and marketing of fast foods, corn syrup and high energy low nutrition (but high profit) foods has anything to do with it?

    Perhaps Barnier was venting, the reality was very different: https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-the-norway-model-brexit-2018-4 https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201617/ldselect/ldeucom/72/7207.htm

    I’m not a member of the Conservative Party, I had no say in the matter, nor do I suspect did anyone on this forum.

    Your revisionism is noted.

    *Deleted post edited out* Getting rid of Johnson was a positive move, it’s nobody but the Tories fault that they replaced him with an even bigger mess.

    I never said ‘staying in the EU’ I pointed out the damage being done by the totally unnecessary Tory decision to leave the Customs Union, which nobody voted for. If you are going to make a claim of attending 2 of the Best British Universities as part of your argument then you’ll accept the criticism that they didn’t introduce you to the importance of addressing the arguments made, not the arguments you wish were made.

    I suggest you read the article, then let me know if it’s’just the Guardian’.

    Your assertion of misogyny is in need of evidence that the criticisms of Truss are made on the basis of her gender and not on her abundant failings. Nobody is becoming ‘hysterical’ every time she makes a decision, though she has been known to spook the financial markets.

    And here’s what the UK press have to say: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/oct/20/utter-chaos-what-the-papers-say-as-suella-braverman-quits-and-liz-truss-faces-more-turmoil

    The Uk could have left the EU but remained in the Customs Inion (you recall the ‘Norwegian Option’). But that’s not what the ERG wanted, so the Tories opted for the hardest Brexit they could get. No body voted to be poorer, but poorer they are.

    The fact that ‘Schadenfreude’ is a German word makes it sweeter.
  13. Chomper Higgot
    I’m not at all interested in whataboutary, and pointing out the factual failings is not ‘Bashing’. Have you seen Home Secretary Braverman’s resignation letter? 43 days in office, gone already.

    Up next - Austerity 2, the sequel.
  15. Chomper Higgot
    You could indeed, the best place for which would be the ‘Thailand’ sub forum.

    The recession has started and inflation is up again. These I guess are the promised ‘sunny uplands’.
  17. Chomper Higgot
    Not that I would offer the slightest sympathy, but Truss is a fit for the ‘Glass Cliff’: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff
  18. Chomper Higgot
    As out of touch as Truss.
  19. Chomper Higgot
    So you have a problem with the voting choices of other Americans.
  20. Chomper Higgot
    Link your reply please, so I can check if you actually replied to the question.
  21. Chomper Higgot
    I’d call that the kind of simplistic reductionism that is a foundation of racism. That aside, why do you ask?
  22. Chomper Higgot
    You dodged it.
  23. Chomper Higgot
    You should open a thread on the topic. This isn’t it.
  24. Chomper Higgot
    But you judge others on the basis of their non-Buddhist religion beliefs. Did the significance of that escape you?!
  25. Chomper Higgot
    I don’t agree with that particular list. Again, for the forth time: Do you agree there are statements and ‘go to arguments’ that are characteristic of racists? Or is it your contention that nobody can conclude another person is a racist on the basis of the statements and arguments they put forward?
