Where have they gone?

Congratulations you seem to have gone on carmans list in record time. Anyone who outsmarts him goes on the list… it’s a long list.

The irony.

The only person on my list has left .

I don’t really want to be on his list- I just commented on his different posting style. He does seem a little bit upset- I did apologise to him.

Shall we start again? I won’t comment on your posting style again- I’m sorry.

That said- Sunak is fairly well centred-

I did apologise to him.

That's what MNW would have done.

A sweeping statement; such schemes are likely very welcomed by some (many?) but this group is easily drowned out by the naysayers (ably supported by our predominantly RW meeja).

Besides, as a (former?) cyclist yourself, would you not cycle more, perhaps even commute by cycle, if the route was safer and generally more pleasant? I know that I would, and I reckon there would be many more who share my view.


I tend to agree, but that is as much a failing of our FPTP electoral system as it is of the Lib Dems.
Unless you think that parties foremost aim should be getting elected, and saying whatever cobblers (they don't intend ever to go through with) gets them into office? Like Farage does.




"Seem".

Another way of expressing the above is that "the wealthy got where they are because the system that enabled this did so at a significant cost to others".
Not all wealthy are exploitative; some took those that worked with on the journey too, and they all benefitted.
Not all wealthy are grafters; some inherited it, some got lucky through nepotism, old boy networks, got a house that skyrocketed in value.



I agree. One part of attracting the wealthy is making the country attractive.
If a wealthy person wants to live in splendid isolation in a gated estate in Surrey, they might as well do that somewhere with better weather, or scenery.


I agree, when these are avoiding or evading their fair tax.
For those who have to choose between heat or eat though, that's a different story.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

I’ve never felt unsafe cycling on the road. Even TTing on a dual carriageway. It’s nice to be exempt from the speed limit.

I don’t object to some genuine road safety schemes, but the Lib Dems are hell bent on making every national a 40 and every 30 a twenty.

I don’t support the view that the wealthy are wealthy at the expense of the poor. Nobody needs a £1200 phone, £100 trainers, £500 handbag, new car every 4 years. etc.

It’s your choice to buy these products.

Yeah, it must feel very rewarding going to and coming home from work, in your suit, in the dark, wet windy days we have in our winter.
