Why doesn’t it? You’re getting triggered by people being too unwell to work. I can’t believe that you’ve never been close to someone who has cancer and seen what they’ve gone through. And as I’ve already said. That’s just one illness in hundreds and hundreds that can quite justifiably be reason...

And we’re talking about one illness out of hundreds and hundreds that legitimately and justifiably keep people from working.

And?

I don’t know how came to that conclusion, I never said anything remotely like that. Maybe you’re over compensating and over critically thinking and adding your own context.

More than likely. Just on cancer for instance, just because you’ve stopped receiving treatment doesn’t mean you’re recovered. My mother is a bowel cancer survivor, she was diagnosed 2 years before retirement, had 18 months of work and went back for the last 6 months part time. I only found out...

Well, again. To put that into some sort of context if you take just one serious illness, say cancer, over 3 million people (and rising) in the UK have cancer at any given time. The majority of which are working age. That’s just one serious illness that I would think justifies not being able to...

I’m guessing the key word there is full time I.e. they’re not unemployed they’re just not working full time. UK unemployment figures are currently at about 1.4 million for comparison.

Thank fuck for that is all I can say. I don’t think we’ve needed 3 points so badly we were relegated from league 1. Hopefully we can build on that now, I don’t think my nerves can take another 2016/17 season.

They rank well in the CP index, 5th. We rank 23rd. Interestingly though Denmark rank first but there politicians earn pretty much the same as ours. Their ministers and PM earn more I think but it does tell you something about the mentality of their politicians vs ours.

Again. So? I thought this was a point of principle for you, not a point of policy? Boris delivered nothing he pledged so I’m not sure that’s a rabbit hole you want to go down.

Again. So? I thought your issue was people buying influence through donations to an MP. The Goldsmiths paid for Boris’s holidays, Carrie never paid for her wardrobe either, Boris got free hospitality at sporting events etc etc. Same as May, same as Cameron etc etc etc. He’s not doing anything...

So?

The number 10 flat refurb that was gifted to Boris by a Lord Brownlow, final bill was reported at £200k. Following leaked invoices.

There’s an article in the London Economic pointing out that Boris took more in freebies to decorate his flat than Starmer has taken since being leader of the Labour Party (2019) so I don’t think that’s remotely true. Is it a good look for Starmer that he’s taken as much as he has? No...

You don’t suppose all the bat shit crazy things he spouts every time he opens his mouth has anything to do with the balance? Let’s face it, he very clearly needs facts checking far more than the rest of the political spectrum simply because he has bullshit Tourette’s, he can’t open his mouth...

Which is why I mentioned debt separately and it’s the same story. Our debt as a percentage of GDP is lower than the majority of western countries including the US. Debt and spending is not what drove inflation in UK more than other countries, especially in Europe. The trade barriers we placed...

Not sure that’s remotely true. If you take the US out of the equation our public spending as a percentage of GDP is below the majority of the western world, especially Europe. Same for debt as a percentage of GDP including the US this time.

The first thing is they haven’t rescinded every Syrian refugee status. I think it equates to about 100. The reason is because the part of Syria they’re from Denmark has deemed safe to return too. As we have in some cases. It may also be the case that Denmark hasn’t had a government who created...

So like I said, not that different to ours. Thanks for the link confirming that.
