  1. Or so you tell us in your social media post on this social media platform.
  2. The GOP can sure pick ‘em.
  3. Where is he being ridiculed on the basis of his mental illness?
  4. Please explain the connection between ‘this administration’ and the business decisions of a German corporation?
  5. It’s in the terms of contract he signed.
  6. The jury heard the charges, the evidence and the defense. The Jury handed down a guilty verdict. Well done all who brought these homegrown terrorists to Justice.
  7. So a bunch of grown men get together to found a terrorist group. One of them comes up with the idea of ‘Wolverine Watchmen’ and all the others think ‘yeh, that’s us’. Well done FBI for infiltrating this home grown terrorist organization, well done the public prosecutor for securing a successful prosecution, well done the court and jury for handing them Justice. Now cage them.
  8. The pensions triple lock is back in the cross hairs. Has anyone told the Tories that Pensioners vote?
  9. It was a windfall tax in name only, well not even in name only, Sunak described it as a ‘profits levy’ and was delivered with exclusive juicy 91p/£ tax breaks securely placed in the back pocket.
  10. Is that even remotely related to the topic of discussion?
  11. Please, I’m not ‘Pro-Brexit’. Meanwhile, there’s more: Disease threat as UK waits for border control posts.” https://www.fwi.co.uk/livestock/health-welfare/livestock-diseases/disease-threat-as-uk-waits-for-border-control-posts
  12. There was no need when the UK was a member, goods headed to the UK were already being checked by source EU nation. Now they are not. Result as reported above.
  13. They were a ‘24 hour crack down’ (as stated in the article). The UK has not yet put import controls in place to deal with the withdrawal from EU standards and regulations. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/britain-scraps-plans-post-brexit-import-controls-2022-04-28/
  14. No. When the UK was a member of the EU member states inspected goods being shipped to the UK to ensure they met EU Standards. That ended with Brexit. Alternative UK side inspections have not been put in place.
  15. Agreed, but the EU has no responsibility to check goods entering the UK. And clearly a 24 hour crackdown tgat searches 22 out of up-to 10,000 vehicles (less than a quarter of one percent) hardly qualifies as customs controls.
  16. From the article: ( underlined by me for your clarity) ” The 24-hour crackdown earlier this month targed eatern European food lorries entering the UK. They searched 22 vehicles from Romanian, Moldovan, Ukraine and Poland with illegal meat imports found in 21.”. And: ““We need to remember that it is not 22 vehicles a day that enter the UK at Dover, but up to 10,000 vehicle movements across the Channel a day.”
  17. But it wasn’t, the article discusses the fact rotting meat is being shipped into the UK since Britain left the protection provided by EU regulation. Somebody forgot to set up UK based import controls and criminals are taking advantage of the UK’s failure to check goods entering the country.
  18. Good luck with that Rishi, you’re going to need it.
  19. Here’s one from the earlier this year, so now you have been presented with evidence that the themes you claim ‘never seem to get mentioned’ have in fact been discussed and examined over at least the past 15 years: https://centerschool.net/news/leecdegok44xsfseqkwq0nhdh7tgs3-y6rej How you managed to miss that fact is odd.
  20. There’s a great deal of discussion on the use of misogyny, homophobia, sexism and glorifying gun violence in hip-hop. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny_in_rap_music https://www.npr.org/2007/06/20/11223359/roundtable-homophobia-in-hip-hop
  21. I’m not sure we do know that which assume we do.
  22. No, I have little, if any, empathy for her because she’s caused real harm to others through her idiocy and hubris. She was driven by hubris and dogma. There’s no ‘virtue’ in sympathizing with dogma driven leaders who cause harm to the people they are meant to serve. And incidentally, I’m not ‘The Left’ though your keenness to claim my views are representative of the Left in its entirety is consistent with your attempts to blame the Left for the mess this 12 year party of Government has made of the UK’
  23. Where’s the need for any ‘compassion’, she was patently unfit for the post, during her voluntary bid for the office of PM she was frequently referred to as ‘a gift to the opposition but terrible for the nation’. Which is exactly what she turned out to be. She’s a victim of her own hubris. And off you go blaming the ‘Left’ again. She’s an extreme right-winger, her rise to office and swift removal all products of Tory failing, nothing whatsoever to do with anyone on the ‘Left’. I’m saving my compassion for the people facing massive hikes to their mortgages as a direct result of the rightwing dogma driven idiocy Truss foist upon the nation. Truss got what she asked for, met predictions by being unable to handle the job she coveted and very swiftly got what she deserved. Save your compassion for the people who’s lives she’s made more difficult.
