It's come to my attention that likes are public, cannot be made private, and are being used to draw inferences about people's character. I'll say now: likes are a matter of what a person sees & them clicking a button. They're not a declaration of allegiance. They're a nod, "Nice", a thumbs up.

"Taking luxury cars out of disability" saves the taxpayer ZERO. Disabled people pay the cost difference themselves.
It also means they can't get a replacement car guarantee. So if you're disabled, you won't be able to get to work if your car breaks down.

Next time someone starts going off about how there’s been a decline in “masculinity” maybe point out to them that the main concept for “manliness” used in western culture since the greeks is “virtue”, and maybe they should “RETVRN” to virtue ethics instead of engaging in bizarre kabuki gender play.

What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?
"Record numbers of overseas-trained doctors are quitting the UK, leaving the NHS at risk of huge gaps in its workforce, with hostility towards migrants blamed for the exodus...the NHS is so heavily reliant on doctors from elsewhere – 42% of its entire medical workforce qualified overseas."
All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.

Every time these tech companies are talking about bringing back nuclear, most of those plants are 800MW and they take over a decade to plan and build. China is adding that capacity with solar every single day. And it's not just in China, they're exporting these panels globally.

This won’t even work as intended. The people objecting to refugees aren’t asking for people to have to stay longer and jump through more hoops before they’re naturalised. They point blank want anyone not exactly like them kicked out.

Epstein was convicted in 2008.
This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power.

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier.
Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

If the government "only" has a £20bn hole in the finances to fill, they ought to do Zack Polanski's wealth tax - predicted to bring in, I believe, £16-25bn per annum.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
