  1. Is that even true? Nobody in the UK is bankrupted by medical bills.
  2. You’ve not seen the latest polling: Farage’s fawning around Trump is costing him support. Your fantasy of importing Trump’s madness to the UK is folly, by the time of the next UK election comes around Trump will be out of office and the damage his policies have done will be on full display. Meanwhile even Badenoch has, with many Tories, come around to accepting the UK needs to work with the EU to fill the gap Trump has created. You should take some time to enjoy Farage wallowing about as he tries to reset his messaging on Trump and Europe: https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51739-how-have-recent-developments-in-ukraine-affected-favourability-ratings
  3. Sunak didn’t ‘ruin BREXIT’, it is the failure it was always going to be. The Tories didn’t’ let Labour in’ the electorate made that decision. Sunak had is chance, he lined the pockets of the rich while stripping money from the rest of society. Renewables and net zero are creating jobs and boosting the economy, something Sunak failed to do.
  4. Net zero is creating jobs and boosting the economy: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/24/britain-net-zero-economy-booming-cbi-green-sector-jobs-energy-security
  5. Jonny, this is a discussion forum. If you don’t want to read opinions that upset you, don’t read them. Nobody is forcing you to read anything here, it’s all your own choice.
  6. “One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter” I recommend caution with that argument,
  7. Shall we file that under ‘Under estimating an adversary’?!
  8. I would prefer Trump had not sent a clear signal that he will not back allies under attack from tyrants like Putin. He has made wars more likely by signaling his weakness.
  9. As has always been the case for ‘white collar crime’.
  10. What peace deal has Trump tried to negotiate? Please provide actual evidence.
  11. It’s perhaps more related to Cambridge University investing in Israeli arms manufacturers.
  12. Except the protection of allies, particularly one that produces so much of the technology hardware the U.S. relies on, is definitely in the interests of the U.S. Trump has sent a message that he is unwilling to defend America’s allies, the Chinese and others have heard that message.
  13. In this article, and a number of others on the subject of Private Schools and the imposition of VAT, mention is made of pre-existing financial difficulties, pre-existing mounting school debts and declining registration numbers. I wonder what’s behind that?
  14. Because he set the stage for the increasingly dangerous joining of State to Church.
  15. He understood Russia is a mortal enemy and acted accordingly. His alliance with the Christian Right wasn’t one of his better ideas.
  16. Regan wasn’t crashing the economy and throwing millions of Americans out of work.
  17. Likewise there are builders and developers who would absolutely take advisor reduced regulation to discard costly safety and environmental measures to boost profits. This would not be a response restricted to the housing markets, history is full of examples of profit before safety/environment across all industries. Regulations have to a very large extent been put in place to address past abuses. There are however other reasons why housing is expensive, top of the list is the use of housing/land as an investment vehicle. Addressing this would not put safety or the environment at risk. Thank you for your response, which I do appreciate.
  18. I don mind defending anyone subjected to personal attacks.
  19. They should cooperate with law enforcement. Just like they should for other crimes committed on their premises.
  20. Buying the advantages and so VAT on advantages bought. If you can’t afford the VAT you can’t afford to buy the advantages…. Oh but wait…. Millions of other parents can’t afford to buy those advantages either, regardless of VAT.
  21. Take your pick. Trump has not asked for the existing law to be enforced, and if he did that’s a request he needs to direct to the police and prosecutors. Universities are not a part of law enforcement.
