This article starts with "Hindsight makes experts of us all ..." but what it evidently does not make us experts in is in the hindsight bias since (like so much journalism) this is what the article is displaying for us.

The BBC reliably bring out this nonsense article with its clickbait title. Answer is unequivocally yes.

I like how they say "apart from the lack of booze, are they healthier..." What does that even mean?
Are non-alcoholic beers, spirits and wines good for you?
Non-alcoholic versions of beer, spirits and even wine are all the rage, but apart from the lack of booze, are they healthier than their alcoholic equivalents?

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.

If the Lords can actually block legislation why did they not block Brexit? Obviously the House should be abolished.
Baroness Butler-Sloss, who is opposed, said: 'We must get it to Third Reading. If we don’t, there is a very real danger that the reputation of the House, which not only I but all your Lordships care about deeply, will be, or possibly will be, irreparably eroded.'

One of the terrible things about the culture wars is how the older generation is harming the prospects of the younger. The recent Brexit poll, showing how so many Brexit voters have died, underlined this for me.

Nice Sankey diagram. Hope it is accurate. Hope it guides policy.
OUTRAGED minority still can’t cope with the idea that Brexit was tried, tested… and failed. 🤦‍♂️

• 5 million Leave voters passed
• Youth voters back Rejoin
• 1/3 of Leave now wants back in
