ChatGPT! 🤣 An echo chamber for populist opinions, they being in the majority. Nevertheless you have to note the amount of state intervention referred to in all of them, to achieve these dubious ratings! It wouldn't just happen on its own. Also there is no mention of "the many" or the "working...

1 It's the Telegraph, typical scaremongering and hence very likely to misrepresent the facts. 2 "Excess" deaths means deaths over and above the average predicted without covid, whatever the cause 3 There is no doubt that containment and the vaccine reduced "excess" deaths, the question is by how...

Where is this meritocratic paradise you all talk about? Is there an example anywhere in the world? Nobody ever answers this question! You'd think somebody would at least chip in with "Singapore" or something equally irrelevant.

Examples? Where is this non socialist utopia? Liz Truss was supposed to lead us to this promised land. Brexit was supposed to be a step in the right direction. Where did it all go wrong? That was communism and very much their own version. Arguably an improvement on the imperialist slave state...

You are, by definition, apparent in every post you make! A very conventional right wing view. There is no "prejudice against success and the people who are successful" it's just that taxation has to be taken from those who happen to have surplus wealth however they came by it. And more often...

It's a common European design sometimes referred to in the UK as a "Bismarck" . I've got several including an ECE scrub and a very similar home made UK version. 7 to 9" long They come in various shapes and sizes, with single or double irons. Yours is too wide for a scrub and would have a...

I did say "not alone". Cameron was PM and just happens to have been caught out lying about it so he is high up the list of those responsible. Pickles is another. Difficult in any case to distribute the blame "equally". I guess The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea should take most of of it...

You are free to research the details yourself! Cameron was specifically PM and specifically campaigned for the bonfire (specifically) of the regulations, which in turn led to Grenfell Tower fire, falling standards and a housing crisis around fire risk. He was not alone of course, but a leading...

It has been widely reported upon from day 1! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67651883 His main option was to follow the science but he clearly didn't understand it. Or shut down as necessary and vaccinate.

The risks have been known about since the fire of London. Cameron not alone but was a significant supporter of de-regulation, and the expression "the bonfire of red tape" was his own...

He was noted for ignoring advice, mainly because it was beyond his comprehension. Instead he'd improvise and churn out all sorts of gibberish and the "natural herd immunity" was something he raised publicly. He was completely out of his depth. Populations have been wiped out in the past and...

Enlightened? 🤣 Just repetitive right-wing ideology mixed with trickle-down and Laffer-curve theory. Neo liberalism has failed.

So are you saying it isn't worth the bother? What about their assets and activities here in the UK, are they not worth bothering about either?

I see you have been reading the Telegraph again! Funny how people line up to protect the ill gotten gains of the wealthy.

No I agree. Can't list all the public school tw ats who get into Parliament it'd take all day. He seems to be on the telly a lot lately and comes over as just a bit dim.

With great difficulty. Perhaps attach a lath to make up the rim, or simply leave it square with the round housing carved out?

That was one of Johnson's suggestions, spirited out of thin air, contradictory and meaningless. Covid was spreading, people were dying, QED; there was no adequate or meaningful "natural" immunity developing.

My basic diet regime was 50%, whereby you eat as normal, including rubbish, but about half the quantity. Worked really well - e.g. we have fish n chips occasionally but one portion between us. Still fills a plate and becomes normal. Ditto pub meals etc. which seem impossibly huge. Got a bit...
