Watched ten minutes of a guy reminiscing about his time in a neighbourhood. Genuinely not sure what point you’re trying to make. He didn’t lose his thread or stumble once.

So you really ignored the famous ‘corn pop’ stories and rambling on about ‘hairy legs’? Wow

It’s getting ridiculous. The RNLI, too savey. The National Trust, too learny. Lawyers, too law abiding.

Well he probably stretched to stay on the theme a couple of times and so what.
What's the real ethos of the man, is he out to harm or cause harm to anyone?
Does he think of the whole or the clique by his words and actions?

Getting quite philosophical there Wingy. The measure of the man is of a moderate Republican who got in because of who he wasn’t more than who he was.

We desperately need a written constitution enshrined in law. The unwritten one isn’t working anymore.

I mean , the yanks still hold on to things written in the constitution from 1776 , it sounds good but in reality it's a different ballgame and they can't change it , well not without a civil war atleast

Try getting them guns now

Who would uphold it also. We have a ministerial code but that doesn’t mean Jack shit either anymore.

I don't know how a country that has lived by the constitution for 250 years almost can just amend and change their constitution without a huge pushback , they have more guns than most militaries

That would inevitably cause problems here too in 2-300 years time when life is different .

You've heard every chat with law enforcement , or argument in the shops on social media in America ..."that's my constitutional right " a few old men said he could stand outside this church and call him a ***** , in 1776

Fuck that nonsense

Basically we'd end up even more like America than we are now

Funny thing about that is it’s the second *amendment* which suggests it can be changed.

All tradition is like this. It’s like the Mormons who are fine with technology up until about 1700 then it’s all forbidden.

We'd develop a system like there though where 1 party would commit to upholding the constitution and the other wanting to amend , and it would go back and forth ...we'd basically become America

And then we'd all get really fat and start buying pickups ...I can't

Yeah I’m not a fan of a written constitution. But some laws on behaviour in public office would be nice.

My youngest daughter is the same. Caught her saying sidewalk the other day instead of pavement. The oldest not so much, put it down to the youngest being obsessed with YouTubers of American origin.
