  1. Precisely the message the Oligarchs who own the media and are now in Trump’s administration want you to believe and spread.
  2. I absolutely advocate returning to the EU. Starter’s moves are not clandestine, they are widely reported and widely discussed, including by Starmer and the Labour Party. I have no expectation that returning to the EU will occur in this Parliament, but it will increasingly climb in the political discourse. It will happen once the Tories are back to their senses.
  3. It needs to get a move on if it is going to do so. It’s February already.
  4. The only thing on the BREXIT ballot was leave the EU or remain in the EU. You might recall the Leave Campaign proposing a range of ‘deals’, notably the ‘Norway Model’ that would allow the UK to remain in European Economic Area while leaving the EU. Any mention of such deals evaporated immediately the result was announced and the Tories went for the most damaging BREXIT they could get away with. Reversing that damage is an obvious path to improving the UK economy.
  5. I think you’ll find it was the same Thatcher you mentioned earlier that closed down the UK’s coal mines. Flooding is what happens when the pumps are switched off. Pumps being switched off is what happens when mines close.
  6. There is a gaping flaw in the article’s logic. UK energy users pay the world market price for oil and gas. New supplies from fracking and offshore drilling will not be cheaper to UK users, those supplies too would be charges at world market prices. Renewables on the other hand are not charged at world market prices and are reducing the UK’s reliance on imported energy.
  7. And other studies demonstrate men to be more prone to reckless and dangerous behaviors. Nobody gets a pilot’s license without completing the training passing the exams and getting he assessments. Let’s not pretend otherwise.
  8. Millions of Americans care about their 401K, millions more care about inflation. Trump supporters on this forum have until very recently been fixated on inflation, their concern on the matter seems to have suddenly evaporated.
  9. The UK needs to remove the barriers placed on the UK economy by the madness of BREXIT, joining the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention will be a step in the right direction, rejoining the EU Customs Union a much better option to reverse the damage done. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqld2n5k733o
  10. Trump’s tariffs lunacy is very quickly getting to the ‘fund out’ stage, DOW futures are down 550. Tariffs on the oil America needs, that’ll work. The price of eggs has not gone down.
  11. You clearly can’t find where I claimed so took deductions, because I didn’t. What matters is your false claim and your insinuation when making it that I was lying. We both know I was not. So where’s your apology?
  12. And then there’s this: “Half of homicides and half of acquisitive crimes are drug related” https://www.apccs.police.uk/ten-years-of-pccs-making-a-difference/addictions-and-substance-misuse/#:~:text=Half of homicides and half,linked to misuse of alcohol.
  13. So you don’t have any quote from me saying I take tax deductions. We have at least confirmed who the liar is.
  14. Lots of people have the skills and ability to do jobs for which staff are hired. The fact that any particular group is over represented in jobs proportional to the make up of society in general is a clear indication of appointments being made on criteria other than just suitability for the post.
  15. No it was not ‘effectively’ what I was saying. And no I don’t need to back up things you think I ‘effectively’ saying.
  16. You’ve missed the bit where Musk censors the accounts and comments of people who disagree with him. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/elon-musk-accused-of-censoring-right-wing-x-accounts-who-disagree-with-him-on-immigration-13280740
  17. It wasn’t all his money, he was backed by the Saudis. Only an idiot would believe they put their money in to promote freedom of speech. Unfortunately there’s no shortage of those.
  18. I’ll try again. You’ve demonstrated you know how to use the quote function, so please provide a quote of me saying I take tax deductions. We will then decide precisely who it is who is lying. Or you could retract your statement and save us finding out.
  19. Trump has already effectively done this when he lifted sanction of violent Israeli ‘Settlers’. https://www.axios.com/2025/01/24/trump-lifts-sanctions-israeli-settlers-west-bank
  20. Can you please provide a quote of me saying I take tax deductions? We will then decide precisely who it is who is lying.
