If you stop a war before it even started, was it even a war?
I managed to stop a war between Denmark and France yesterday. Luckily for them, they didn't even know that it would have eventually happened without my intervention.

He has a history of using his inheritance to play dirty, whether it was treating tenants atrociously, not paying contractors for work or constant lawsuits against people and organisations to silence them.

Whether it was in wrestling or The Apprentice, Trump played up to being an ogre on camera with ease. He didn't get to be President through his own efforts.
He was chosen by billionaires and Faux News to play the role.

The hard working British people aren't represented by the multi-millionaire tax avoiders running Reform.
As a white British man, I'd feel more represented by a Muslim Labour MP than I ever would by Nigel Farage or Richard Tice.

If we keep giving in to blackmail, nothing will change. The rich get even richer, giving them a greater incentive to move away and take even more money out of our economy.
There has to be a point where we say enough is enough.

A meat hotdog typically contains less than 50% meat, and the meat it does contain would probably not be considered by most people to be meat.

There is also the argument that the wealthiest 10%, who own 41% of all this wealth as well as having the greatest disposable income, could easily afford to give far more than 2% themselves.

Would they really drag their spouses and children away from the comfort of their friends and lifestyles in the UK just to protect what is proportionally a fraction of their wealth because they don't love the UK enough to make it a better place for all of us to live?
