Of course, and that happens as you have correctly pointed out.

Your list is probably a lot shorter than it could be, but equally, you could say: Personal tax allowance increased from £6500 to £12500 (that's huge). Unemployment down from 8% to 3.8% Minimum wage up from £5.80 to £8.21 (way above inflation). Introduction of compulsory enrollment in...

Right, just watched it. Funny, but still bollocks.

There is a lot out there regarding Islamic exceptionalism, there is an excellent book by Shadi Hamid which explains, in a very measured way, why Islam is different: https://time.com

No, didn't watch the video, but if that is the claim made in it then it's bollocks.

I'm not sure how the response relates to the quoted post, we're you quoting a different one (not being funny, just confused!).

I'm not sure you really understand the arguments put to you on this. As for the last statement, have a word. Don't try to pin that sort of thing on me when you know full well that I never suggested anything of the sort.

Ah man, missed the point completely.

I'm not ignoring anything. How can the last nine years be 'absolutely everything to do with him'? He was London mayor until May 2016. He has been in government since, but was responsible for foreign affairs. The domestic agenda has only become part of his remit very recently. Yes, he has been at...

Why are some on the left so righteous? Utterly convinced of their own moral and intellectual superiority. Anyone who deviates is 'dumb'. Have you considered that it's simply a case that people disagree with you and that they have valid reasons for doing so? This government has had a number of...

Like most parties, they have some good ideas. Some of their economic policies are batshit though. The £400 per month hand-out to every UK citizen could not possibly be funded.

How it is, or how it sees it? He doesn't have a monopoly on being right. I do like him though. Some of his videos are go to when trying to settle an argument.

It is not possible to dismiss Islam as being no different to other religions, because that just isn't true. One factor is the divine authorship, this is unique, meaning the Quran is considered the literal word of God. Of course, not all Muslims are literalists, but some are, and this plays out...

I think initially there would have been no difference, but I do agree they cut too deep for too long

There are some elements that are questionable, such as the photograph being credited to Ben Lack, who owns a professional photography company based in Leeds. Of course, it could just have been coincidence that he was there. I don't believe the family were complicit though, no suggestion of that.

No, I was referring to the fact that many people have conveniently forgot what was an accepted reality at the time that we were facing many years of cuts, as was acknowledge by Labour, the IFS, and just about everyone else. People seem genuinely surprised by this. It is the big deceit in British...

I'm not sure what you mean. Unfufilled promises in a party manifesto? What's new. Unless you think Labour will deliver on every promise they've made in this one, because they won't. We all know that.

Everyone seems to be suffering from some sort of collective amnesia. Back in 2010 we were told exactly what was going to happen. The IFS told us, pretty much every think-tank from left or right told us, the Tories told us, Labour said they would out-do Thatcher in how deep they would cut...

Surely you know the answer to that already?

To be fair, this seems to be the most complete account: 'It was chaos': Shocking photo shows Leeds four-year-old with suspected pneumonia forced to sleep on floor of LGI due to lack of beds I think people should make up their own mind really. I don't think the parents should be demonised...
