People have been making comparisons to facism for a long time and it has been met largely with ridicule. However, there is no doubt, in my mind, that we are seeing things happen that would be steps along the journey towards facism. That's not to say it will happen just that some conditions to...

Incredible how many people are willing to stand up and defend somebody who at the least is guilty of rank hypocrisy and under any reasonable interpretation has broken the law. People are increasingly accepting and defensive of their own sides transgressions and willing to believe opposing...

The fact they are trying to divert to the caring for the family narrative is an implicit admission of guilt of the actual points people are raising about breakdown various rules and guidelines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. Reward the people who have kept things going during the crises with better pay and that money starts moving around the economy doing things. Our power grid is now interconnected to Europe, invest in the huge potential for wind power and be a net exporter of electricity rather than...

Not quite a lightbulb moment but I sense a few electrons are starting to drift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He makes some good points. Unfortunately Cummings is running a PR exercise and has no interest in parliamentary process or scrutiny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wonder what the reaction would be from some here if we had a labour government enacting the exact same polices...
