Yeah but at least you had Pink Floyd. Sticking my neck out but Dark Side of the Moon greatest album ever.

Hey, I know that, but you can't be happy with the cack handed way they are presenting this. They're inept and need to be told so. Not having the wind blown up their backsides for behaving like a watered down Tory Party. Sorry I admire your loyalty, but you need to know when you've been sold a pup

Who is to blame for the Afghanistan debacle?
The TRUMP administration agreed to an initial reduction of U.S. troops in Afghanistan from 13,000 to 8,600 within 135 days (i.e., by July 2020), followed by a full withdrawal within 14 months.

Exactly. The country needs a lesson in economics. Taxes are not an attack on "hard working" people. Taxes make society work, providing the things that individuals cannot afford e.g healthcare, defence, law enforcement, education. Money given in benefits returns to the exchequer through tax.

Isn't it just brilliant. So pertinent to our own times.

If you're wrong the disappointment will destroy me. Damn your optimism sir.
