Crumbs from the rich man's table. The tories have always accepted that some wealth and privilege has to trickle down. In fact it's the basis of free-market right-wing economics and is of course totally inadequate for the bigger picture. Private schools should be nationalised. Nonsense. There...

It's amazing and shocking that so many people find it so easy to turn a blind eye to this massive humanitarian catastrophe.

More like adjusting to being powerless. Starmer should have defended Haigh in public, and then been diplomatic about the issue. He has no political skill.

No it was a focus on Labour's quite proper pro-worker attitude, which is the very reason for the party's existence in the first place. Starmer had nothing constructive to say, as usual.

Starmer has nothing to lose by taking a moral stance on Palestine and would immediately shoot up the popularity charts. Unfortunately he doesn't need to for the next 5 years, unless enough pressure is generated.

Starmer is still supplying arms in support of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians and now the Lebanese. He is aiding and abetting Netanyahu and the USA in generating an even bigger conflagration in the middle east. Probably in excess of 100,000 deaths by the time it finishes, large...

Dear oh dear that sounds awful! Didn't you tell them that you were an Englishman and not used to that sort of thing? :rolleyes: Stiff upper-lip and all that - sing "Rule Brittania" under your breath? I hope it wasn't too upsetting. If these johnny foreigners came here of course our own...

But 1 in 6 Americans live in poverty. GDP per capita means nothing if not distributed equitably - they are obviously doing something wrong. https://atdfourthworld-usa.org/poverty-myths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States Things also not done well here...

Google it! The answer is "inertia", but it varies due to gravitational effects on earth itself and from other bodies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation

I could spirit up 9 words and I'm not even an expat! "un bocadillo con bifstec y una cerveza por favor" I'm a bit of a linguist.

RNLI are doing it. It's called "saving lives at sea". 200th anniversary coming up. https://rnli.org/pages/ig/new/dual-one-off

Not if it is enforced by law. Quite the opposite. An insult. Destroys respect and ******* integration. How on earth could they show respect after 130 years of brutal colonisation? And why?

Housing is nearly half the UK price, which in terms of cost of living is the biggest single factor, and also the reason for the mass exodus from UK. Seems like half the people I know have houses in France, or had them - things getting difficult after brexit. Living in France is cheaper. Well...

And 2008 crisis was world wide slump. Brown is credited with positive action at the time.

You could stop spooking yourself and instead consider that 11 in 12 actually do bother to learn the language! I imagine the non speakers are probably the aged relatives in the family who interact least with the native population and hence have less need of language skills. It's their loss of...

Where were you, who were they exactly and what particularly horrible things did you personally experience at the hands of these people? Are we in mourning for something? Nobody tells me anything! :ROFLMAO:

Typical miserable right-wing fantasy/fearful narrative. The un-woke are literally a sad bunch. a little time perhaps. Mostly just getting on with it. Because of inherent UK racism and black skins. Whereas white immigrants merge indistinguishably and suffer non of this. It's changing and...

:ROFLMAO: Sounds very civilised! They seem to be doing well on it and our occasional holidays in France are always a pleasure. Almost everything is better quality and value than the UK equivalent.

See what I mean about fear? Q.E.D. Excellent example of a fearful right-winger spooking himself! Thanks for that @spanner48 !! Here's a leading right-wing politician trying to spook his electorate...
