(in response to comrade morganthana) As you're taking the argument to stupid extremes... why don't we increase the minimum wage to £100/hour? Then everyone would be rich, surely? Could you possibly comprehend that there could be problems with this? Actually I wonder if you can see the issue...

A sensible analysis. I'd add that Broon could have let the banks go bust and guaranteed deposits. Whether that would have been better or worse long-term, I don't know. I didn't hear any discussion of this idea, they saw they were in trouble and lobbed a load of money at them without pausing...

Then the tories are even dafter than I thought, giving the muppet media a hammer to hit them with. This was the point at which the tories became new-new-labour, which ultimately got them booted out due to their uncontrolled spending. Sadly replaced by new-old-labour, we're back in the 1970s now.

Not necessarily. We can impose tariffs on importers whose standards are lower, e.g. if their farming is less kind or ecologicial. What's your alternative? Shut the borders, regulate everything and basically have communism? You can't have high wages/conditions and free trade, that's what...

Your wonky lefty logic would be fine if we lived on the planet UK. In reality we live in a competitive world, where companies can move facilities and people to other countries if we don't compete. Your hard of thinking analysis is precisely why Labour always makes the poor poorer, despite...

Well they deserved to fail if that's true. I just remember the BBC and labour almost spitting out the word in disgust when talking about anything that resulted from government spending being anything less than unlimited. It forced their hand, into becoming as useless as labour, which is what...

Yes, obviously. Labour never cut anything, never have. What's your point? It was a word used by the lefty establishment to criticise the tory government.

They'll have heard of ICE when we get one. In about 2029 or sooner.

Unlikely, as the economy's being rapidly decimated by the current government. Businesses have battened down the hatches and are preparing for the Starmergeddon 2026 recession. Or can't afford to employ due to the NI and wage rises. Or don't want to risk employing due to the insane employees...

"austerity" was a word used by lefty marketing types, as it sounds so negative. In reality it's just only spending what you actually have, i.e. being responsible. Sadly the BBC lapped up this crap at the time, implying it was all bad and was just a brief period, after which the reckless...

Perhaps not everyone is as selfish and lazy as you think everyone else must be. It may be that they'd like to get a job and/or don't want to be on benefits.

When you have to make an analogy of an analogy, the wheels really have fallen off your argument.

I didn't recognise him out of his bikini.

His foot's almost touching the tyre in the video still above. In the drawing he's at least one person width away. ...which calls all the rest of it into question, including whether that video still even is when the gun shot. I wouldn't trust any stills or drawings of this, there are lots of...

The entirety of net zero needs binning. But they're not ready for this yet, plus the labour party would probably explode in a cloud of eco-religious shock.

Do you have any actual facts or opinions to offer? If you've lost the argument then win on insults?

I doubt that picture is reliable, it doesn't resemble the videos I've seen.

I thought there was a bit of muck on my screen. Is the accent over the u deliberate offensive language filter avoidance? If you know you're being offensive then perhaps try, you know, not being offensive?

I don't know whether it's still the case, but at one point this govt had the sharpest decline in popularity for any govt ever, by a huge margin. They're extra-terrible, and keep getting worse. They still haven't reached the bottom either. I don't understand why anyone would still defend this...
