Looking for the common ground, there is alway something; for me and slugs it is that we both want to eat the cabbages I grow.
Political but not party political. British & European. Brexit was a mistake.

The UK and other nations should do what Poland is doing: Star a full investigation into the Epstein files – looking for victims from their country, crimes that took place in their country, or crimes that affected their country. In the UK, that would certainly mean investigating Farage and others.

BBC’s excuse for having Farage’s Reform on TV all the time is that that are top of the polls. But when comes to scrutinising or deep diving into any scandals, their excuse is that they are not in government, in my mind that’s hypocrisy.

Good question. If the govt is setting up an enquiry it should be wide enough to investigate the impact of all the ties to mega-money, MAGA and Russia.
Why is a party leader who isn’t in the Epstein Files subject to more scrutiny than one who is?

Not sure ‘botched’ Brexit is the way to go. Particularly as Farage agrees, blames the Tories and threatens to make it even worse.
At some point you need to tell the truth. It’s not botched. It’s exactly what you get when you prioritise prejudice over pragmatism.
