Cat & nature lover. Truth seeker, not scaremonger. Not a fan of Tories, nor of racism, Brexit & right wing ideology. Pragmatic..this is the real world (sadly).

Well if they run out in the ladies, they'll know where to come then, won't they 🤷

Many in that 63% didn't bother to vote at all!
Sadly that Brexit divide is still there, so many still convinced it was the right choice. The rest of us just need to be patient. Closer ties have already begun with the EU. Realistically, that may be the best we can hope for.

But how can they improve them when there is a msm brick wall stifling every positive achievement?
If there were a party political broadcast every week people would just switch off. They can scroll past the many posts on social media. They are fed soundbite crumbs on TV. Newspapers are RW propaganda

But what will his punishment be for this? A small piece in the Telegraph with a quip of how 'that's just good old Boris for you'. He is still being allowed to take the piss out of all of us.

Yes, it's not easy to pin down mega wealthy assets to tax them on. Govt is working to close tax loopholes & on methods of curbing tax avoidance first.
A perfectly sensible approach, not one of those overnight fixes the so often demanded without thought as to how it could be successfully implemented.

Morning all.
You know, not so long ago I would have said that apparent media/BBC bias was just because their reports differed from my own political convictions.
But since the Tories lost that GE it has become a blatant fact that the right wing msm is deliberately aiming to undermine this govt.

Who would read it if not on social media? The msm has made sure it remains hidden, though it's been put out there for all to see. The only one picked up on has been VAT on private schools because it caused some nice, juicy furore for the papers.

How do you know the majority were against UKs support for Israel?
It was, & remains diplomatically the right way to deal with the issue without damaging UKs international relations.
As for your last sentence, I'm afraid that's just balloney that someone decided on for clickbait. Ridiculous.
