They lie to drive the narrative, which in turn gets amplified by the papers front pages.
Those front pages are read out on BBC & Sky and hey presto it becomes a truth to be debated
And so a lie sets the agenda

This is bad news
How can we have a situation, whereby at the very time young people are struggling with affordability & housing, house prices are raising?
We are fed the line low interest rates are good. But for who?

It's a State benefit so why isn't it a welfare payment?

My daughter's got social anxiety but I'm going to drag her around the world constantly having to meet & build relationships with new people
But so what I'm having a great time
That sums it up

Have the BBC approached Mike Graham to replace her yet?
December 13, 2025 at 4:15 PM
I wonder what the chances are they filmed it with the intention of putting it on social media

His "diplomacy led" defence policy
December 13, 2025 at 3:35 PM
The difference is now Farage would sell us out to Trump and Putin
Polanski would quickly be seen with a letter from Putin talking about peace in our time
We do face threats to us not an isolated war like the Balkans
The situation today is very different

What part? Because apart from the possibility of him jumping ship to Reform (and why not he's proved a politician of very little loyalty) it's all fact
December 12, 2025 at 6:54 PM
He's a LD reject & failed actor
An opportunistic snake oil salesman
A world with Putin and Trump and him saying our defense policy is holistic and diplomacy based. We believe the defence of the planet is as important as the defence of the nation
He'll have joined Reform by then anyway
December 12, 2025 at 6:23 PM
How do you know that with such certainty?
December 12, 2025 at 6:18 PM
I know but he's really really awful once you get past the sound bites
Basically a Liberal Democratic failed candidate
He jumped ship to the Greens after they rejected him
He's got opportunist charlatan written all over him
The Emperor is stark bollock naked
December 12, 2025 at 6:04 PM
Have people actually listened to Polanski?
He's alarmingly clueless beyond the sound bites
Just the opposite populist arse cheek from Farage
I actually think he can't believe people are taking him seriously
Both he and Farage must be bricking themselves they could win the next election

Can you provide evidence that there are hotels in the Carribbean that either don't allow or discourage people leaving their resort
December 12, 2025 at 2:38 PM
You can hire a car, take a taxi or just walk around
The cruise line has no control where you go
I think you hate whatever idea you have in your head which appears a bit of a fantasy

That's somewhat short of a true representation of Liverpool fans.
No-one from Norway
No-one suggests they'll boycott the game and watch ITV instead
No-one saying "I didn't decide to support Liverpool at the start of the season for this! I've a good mind to go back to supporting Barcelona"
December 12, 2025 at 2:26 PM
Shouldn't Politics Now be called Tory/Reform now?
It would be more honest
December 12, 2025 at 2:16 PM
Did you see who won that election?
December 12, 2025 at 12:42 PM
People are being fed a line on social media
When I talk to people they just repeat whatever they have read on Facebook or a WhatsApp group as fact.
If they are told things are really bad, they ignore the 3 holidays they have had this year and simply nod along
December 12, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Currently in Prague away from the tourist circuit
Public transport is extremely quiet with everyone wearing headphones and not talking
Reminds me of Japan

Don't forget every price is +tax and tip in the States
These days someone at the till, packing your bag (even if you don't want them to) handing over food at a fast restaurant all demand (yes demand) a tip of at least 20%
It's a crazy situation
December 12, 2025 at 11:04 AM
It's even worse in Wales we are entitled to a free check up over 60
If you have an NHS dentist that's fine and you get the NHS treatment
If you don't have the NHS dentist you pay full private amount
It should be a tax reduction or similar for everyone the same
Currently not fair
December 9, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Where I live in a semi rural part of Wales it's easier to win the lottery than get an NHS dentist
Mine retired and after 30 years I had to sign on to the same practice as a private patient
They even charged me £60 to register
It's a rip off
December 9, 2025 at 12:14 PM
Unbelievable
Immigration is more important to people than wealth with all that flows from that and their health
December 9, 2025 at 12:13 PM
Do you mean private or NHS you can't find
