Just so you understand the science a bit better, this technique is of course much refined from those used in the early 1800s where the lymph was not administered by injection but into cuts in the recipients arm.



“What is called ‘pure glycerinated calf lymph’ is the lineal descendant, for vaccination purposes, of cow-pox, horse grease, swine-pox, donkey-pox, goat-pox, buffalo-pox, humanized lymph, chloroformed calf lymph and a few other beastly poisons. The above photo shows how calves are outraged in order to obtain it. The abdomen is shaved, and then stabbed from 100 to 120 times with a spear-headed lancet blade. The wretched animal, thus mutilated, is thrust back into its stall, and its head and legs tied to prevent it licking or scratching its wounds. After six days agony, the poor calf is subjected to another revolting piece of barbarism. The healing scabs are scraped from its wounds and the filthy exuding matter collected into a gruelly mass. It is then mixed with glycerine, which is a nutritive medium for the growth of petrifactive and other germs which invade the whole of the fluid. This dangerous concoction is then put into tubes and injected into the bodies of babies, and adults who wish to enter the military, naval, civil, railway, and other services. The calves are sold to butchers at a cheap rate, and afterwards eaten by the public. In the above photo workmen are seen scraping the calf’s sores open to collect the poison.”

It’s the ignoring these things as contributing to standard of living. They might not be how you would like your standard of living to be improved but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an improvement.

How much on the left hand side is / was culmination of Blair government policy including net million immigration competing for housing?

Plus encouraging university education for “everyone”,at a cost even when it may not really be in their best interests?

I don’t want or need your cheap electronics, so no deal,I’m afraid.

Job security made me laugh, been made redundant 3 times.

I'm sure there were homeless people and renters 50 years ago.

It wasn’t necessarily the golden age you want to paint it as.

Blair never let net a million people in that was Boris under the Ukraine Afghanistan and Hong Kong deals. And house prices started rising well before EE countries entered the EU, by at least a decade.

I put culmination of policy. I expect that Thatcher’s right to buy didn’t help either with any of it. Ultimately house prices will reflect supply and demand, increased population has occurred. Supply has been limited in part by concerns about bats and great crested newts. Put human beings first!

The unusually low interest rates will also have contributed to increasing house prices, as will frozen stamp duty fees. Both of which would normally have been seen as consumer benefits.

Cant win really.

House prices went up from around 98. Imo the culprit for that was lending rules and the rise of the buy to let "investor". One of the Labour government's biggest sins.

None of it would matter if we built enough homes. You want BtL investors out? Flood the market and make their investment worthless. You don’t want immigration rising prices? Build more. We need to build more anyway, we’re just rather destroy the country and the economy than have a semi built on a farmers field.

I can assure you they were going up quite rapidly well before then, looking at the linked information below house prices have regular peaks and troughs, I bought my first house in the mid 80s while the market was going up but before the peak, right now we appear to be in a trough.

Mostly breaking up abusive relationships is best for all involved, non standard arrangements like gay and lesbian parents or single parents are better recognised and supported. Child tax credits, child benefit and enforcing child maintenance has made a significant impact on child poverty rates.

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.

Try again?

“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 “far right”.

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 values have roots in the Church, that marriage is sacred, men and women are different but equal, and so on

Liberals struggle to identify what a women is and preach about equality when really they want to oppress those they don’t agree with.

Let’s demonstrate:

Folks on here that think they are “progressive” and “better”

Do you agree that these church must be made to marry same-sex couples.

Have that answer in your mind.

Then:

Do you agree with equality?

Have that answer

Then:

Should we enforce mosques to end congregational segregation and enforce them to permit same-sex marriage.

Answers with reasoning please

(my bet is I’ll get no answer but waffle and screechy whataboutery)

You're making the claim, or at least supporting it. The burden of proof lies on you.

Where are the Peer Reviewed studies that support any of these claims. Links please, or it's simply uninformed opinion.

You can warble on for England, but when it comes to actual science you and all of the other wibbling conspiracy theorists haven't got a clue.

That’s a sad answer.

I’m making no claim.

Where am I making a claim?

The poster claimed RFK was a conspiracy theorist.

Anyone with an ounce of integrity knows that the burden of proof is on the accuser.

There seems to be plenty of house building going on around where I live. Ex mining area so I’ve seen some extensive subsidence damage! In brand new houses.

There has also been quite a lot of BtL antagonistic policies as well, such as changes in taxation approach and the EPC requirements. BtL investors pulling out will probably have unintended consequence. Shortage of rental properties and this that are available having high rental fees. Houses released to the market not necessarily finding the intended buyers.

Apparently real house prices are in a trough now (thank you @Captain Dart ).But still not good enough. Prices in a trough, interest rates reducing - should be perfect conditions for you all.

Who are “the intended buyers”? Such a weird phrase. If there’s demand for houses build enough for everyone then you don’t have to ration out to buyer you deem worthy.
