It strikes me that so much of our modern political discourse boils down to too many misunderstanding this fact.

Rosebank is a climate disaster waiting to happen that will enrich a powerful few.

Are some names more "right wing" than others or is it unconscious bias on my part I wonder? 🤔
I've noticed over the years on social media that some of those with the most right wing opinions always seem to be called Colin.
