Biden is not a good candidate and I've already stated as such and think choosing him is almost handing Trump the election. But the things you were saying about him about even more to Trump. Only thing possibly stopping him is how many die between now and November, but even then he'll make up...

I assume it's a sartorial get-up in the facemask and hazmat suit. If not the fact their wearing that while holding up a Covid-19 is a lie banner is very funny. And the placard in the background - I wonder if they realise they're a person and he wants people to put money ahead of him. If he's...

As opposed to an old half dead zombie with sex abuse allegations and his own and his sons and son in law with dodgy dealings abroad like Trump? And Trump doesn't think he knows what's best and should tell everyone what to do? Did you not see him claim that he ultimate power to open states...

I agree we need more homes. Not that we need more landlords. If you can't/won't work that is what socially provided housing should be for. Private landlords tend to steer clear of the examples you give if at all possible,

What the fuck are you talking about? You said as business should look to it's best performance as a means to recover not airbrush them from history. The tea and cotton industries were most profitable at the time it used slave labour. But they kind of keep quiet about that and airbrush it out...

I think you're correct on this point but that's down to indoctrination over many generations that gets passed on. When you say 'will my life be enhanced' what you mean is "will I have more money/belongings". Places like Scandi see an enhanced life in a far more holisitic way.

When QCDA moved to Butts and some of the London staff moved one of the things they said was they couldn't believe the kind of properties they could afford. One woman said she sold her one bedroom London flat and bought a 4 bed house with a massive garden with the proceeds.

So I guess things like the tea and cotton industries should look to bring back slavery then?

So in two sentences you say "people generally put policies first that impact their own lives and securities" then a few words later "they have little real interest in policies". I think you're right on the latter sentence. They don't. As I've already said it's soundbites and slogans. If they...

I agree with the latter points - Labour tend to go by policy and (naively) trust in the general public to look deeper into the issues and their proposed solutions. Tories go with soundbites, slogans, smears and spin. So not surprising the only Labour leader to win was one who had a more...

No you asked what would Labour do to help his aspirations to be monetarily rich? I answered about what they'd do to enhance quality of life with things like healthcare and public services alongside many other things that improve quality of life, but they difficult to put a monetary value so...

Did you see the thing from when he was first campaigning to become an MP and people were laughing at him because he'd taken his nanny with him. His response being "I don't know why they're laughing - if it'd been my valet they'd have considered it perfectly normal"

If the landlords didn't buy them as a business investment (thus giving them greater access to finance) pushing the prices up, properties would be more affordable and those that can't buy would be able to. Yes, some people would choose to rent, possibly due to not having an intention to stay...

So if someone came to someone's house, beat them to a pulp and stole all their belongings I assume you'd expect them to congratulate the robber on their individualism and looking after number one. Or do you think they'd call the police?

So you weren't in any way making a general point about young people aspiring to own large property..........

Because you definitely don't see the likes of Johnson, JRM, Cameron etc. thinking they're superior to 'ordinary' folk and know what's best for them? But they patronise them in a plummy accent so that's fine.

I'm pretty sure Hancock said in one of the pressers only a few days ago there wasn't an issue with the amount of PPE? They really are wasting it aren't they....

Not the massive increase in people living alone compared to yesteryear, when everyone left home when they got married. Plus an increasingly older population (or at least at the moment) that has meant properties that would become available 10-20 years earlier than they do now keeping the property...

This is the thing over the years I've found harder and harder to reconcile. Why do we want to put a party in charge of society that, fundamentally, doesn't believe society exists? It sees it as individuals and everyone for themselves. Get as much for yourself as possible and fuck everyone else...

No you weren't
