    With regards to liberalism, it should never be confused with socialism or classic liberalism. Only dopes confuse the above. Conservative values (Oxford definition): (in a political context) favouring free enterprise, private ownership, and sociallytraditional ideas. Socially traditional...

    Dismissing RFK Junior as a conspiracist is the typical playbook of a virtue-signaller. Prove to me that his claims about chemicals in the food supply and the links to obesity, diabetes, autism, etc are a conspiracy theory….. Should be so easy for you to prove…..

    “The “Right” believe that their wife can’t divorce them and kids can only learn stuff…” Really? You know that’s an incredible statement. Those are perhaps, fundamental Islamic beliefs. Take the Anderton Park incident as a case in point. Now, Are you saying that these Islamic beliefs are...

    Right, Child tax credits, child benefit and so on has nothing at all to do with liberalism. That’s social support. Libya, under Gaddafi, had wide ranging social support. Was he a torchbearer for liberalism? No. Don’t fall into the trap of saying that social security = liberalism. It doesn’t...

    Kids just back from school (they finish at 17.30) so going to spend some time with them. I’ll revert later. In the meantime, please explain how the family unit has benefitted from liberal progressive policies…..?

    Again, finding it difficult to grasp what you are saying with clarity. Some words maybe missed - it happens. https://www.brightblue.org.uk/has-liberalism-eroded-the-family/ You refer to Hitchens, but the elder is dead so here’s the younger brother giving an outline as to how liberalism has...

    You asked me no such thing (what they have to do with each other) Note above is a copy of your pre-edited response. Say what you mean and stick with it.

    Our choice of captain

    Don’t agree. The captain should be the first point of contact on field with officials and the go to guy on field for tactical guidance.

    Argument? That’s what unintelligent people do. An AI article with links to studies in Science Direct publications and PNAS studies which gives detailed evidence to fortify the assessment? I’ll stand by that rather than snivel and drivel. SBT, get in the field

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure what this means. Have a Guardian article (liberals like those) https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/sep/07/having-children-may-make-you-more-conservative-study-finds And an AI overview. You won’t like that because it doesn’t back up your assertion.

    The control of people via interest rates you say? It’s the way of the world. It’s society based on fractional reserve banking - basically a huge ponzi scheme backed by bricks and mortar, bits of paper and sentiment. Debt = slavery. Get people into debt and forever take a slice of what they...

    I think he’s been told to stop looking for a back pass and to advance the play. So, instead of receiving and turning towards our own goal to shield and lay-off he’s tried turning and running through the line. Unfortunately he’s not the best at that and gets dispossessed. What you will see...

    Our choice of captain

    I’m not sure Kitching is mature enough. Seems to get a bit petulant at times. Maybe in a couple of years.

    Wilson 6 Good save from their only real other chance, distribution ok, at fault for their goal. Would I have trusted him in the pen shoot-out against his boyhood team? No MVE 6 Couple of decent crosses but was visibly reluctant to pass out of defence and chose to kick to touch more often...
