I think Max saying “I would have won the championship by now if I had the McLaren” is a counterfactual because that McLaren would not have been developed if Max had been at that team

Not in the English DNA to brag but London is the greatest city in the world and it isn't even a close competition even after the obvious issues like affordability.

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.
Last year saw:
The lowest murder rate per capita since records began
The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century
One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

For 14 of those years we had a Conservative government that plundered the public purse on behalf of its mates.
That’s where the money went.

The UK would be around 14% richer today, writes Andrew Curry, if productivity had continued after 2008. That’s roughly £11,000 per household.

We are a leading economy but this isn't reflected in how we feel. The UK has fallen behind other countries on many metrics

An initially-secret report for Customs and Border Patrol in 2013 found:
In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.”

Do you think the MAGA people realise yet that they have inadvertently voted in a bunch of gangsters?
People in Germany began to realise that's what they'd one after they voted in the Nazis in 1933, but, by 1945, when they were picking through the rubble of their country, they were in little doubt.

This is interesting because when I went for my first Covid vaccination, Farage arrived and pushed straight to the front of the queue.
Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

Many of those who complain about mining for batteries / solar / wind power have curiously never raised a squeak about the far greater extraction required for fossil energy. Funny how they become concerned about the planet only when fossil fuel interests are threatened.
