Biting my tongue. People who don’t use rational thought to form their opinions are unlikely to accept it as a reason to change them.

Just an observation…
The freezing of the tax thresholds beyond 2028 is unfortunate, and certainly not a policy I would pursue. However, it is also a gradual effect rather than an immediate shock, which impacts only as wages rise.
And of course, we shouldn’t forget that this is very much a Conservative policy — who do you think froze them to 2028 in the first place?
Not sure I’m that bothered about Farage being a racist. It’s more concerning that he is a blatant con-artist.
Luke warm take:
Almost everyone commenting on the Tylenol thing is way out of their depth with respect to clinical trial design and drug safety surveillance.
And that certainly includes you know who.
It is somewhat incongruous to argue that accepting displaced foreigners threatens your own national identity — even urging militant action to prevent it — while simultaneously vilifying the same instinct when it is expressed elsewhere.
Likewise when the situation is reversed.
I gather that civil war is coming. Time to rise up against corporate greed, and the wealthy few? Time to rebalance the social divide and restore a healthy fair society?
Wait… what do you mean, we are only fighting against immigration?? One of the few things driving economic growth in the UK. The one defence we have against an aging population. Our historic cultural strength.
I hope Farage gets voted in & deports every single one of the ~38,000 immigrants that arrive by small boat each year. (About the same number that watched Leeds vs Everton).
Just so the people obsessing over this can see exactly how little difference it makes to their lives.
Trump’s order establishes that the US gov will recognize only two sexes: male and female. No shit, Sherlock.
So when is he going to ban real make-believe? Of the sort that truly threatens our safety & sanity? A demonstrably false evil pushed on kids around the world?
