In the real world, if you leave a pub because everybody is screaming abuse, there are constant fights, and you get no service because the spoiled brat of a landlord too busy sucking up to Nazis... nobody accuses you of vanishing into an elitist echo chamber.
Same applies online.

If China’s carbon emissions peak it would be a game changer. Let’s hope that these are the early signs of this happening.

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.
The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.
Exempt from all.

Will inheritance tax changes really mean the end of Britain’s farming?
The farming lobby is protesting loudly that the budget changes to inheritance tax will kill family farms. So should we be alarmed?
