    Our political system, what 'is' the answer?

    Again, Strawman. No one is saying you dictate who can say something. Its the lies and disinformation that needs to be addressed, not who says it. I'm not here to give a full guide how to address it, but address it we must, because it will only get worse as long as they make money out of it.

    Our political system, what 'is' the answer?

    Holding billionaires accountable is so far from state owned media, that I hardly know where to start. Your post is a Strawman Argument. In fact your post demonstrates how people have become extreme in their views of our politicians. Starmer is in no way wanting to do that.

    Our political system, what 'is' the answer?

    We have a media owned by billionaires without consequences. They make profit from causing outrage and discord, far more in the last 10 years than at any time.

    So if someone claimed you were a mass murderer, they wouldn't need to support it with any evidence. Its just what they thought, and repeat it as much as they want.

    I've known Americans who carry a concealed firearms. I don't agree with it, and their system is screwed up, but many do. That doesn't make him a mass murderer, and we look forward to you providing evidence that he was about to be. The onus is on you to support you claim: This quote is doing...

    Future of Immigration

    There are a few here that hint at being interested in UK immigration [/sarcasm]. To that end I thought this blog entry might be of interest: "Conclusion Net migration will fall very sharply in future years as a result of immigration restrictions brought in by both the current and the previous...

    At last leaders with balls...

    "According to Thatcher’s biographer David Cannadine, in the 1970s the British government’s preferred solution was a diplomatic one. Lord Carrington, foreign secretary between 1979 and 1982, favoured a ‘leaseback scheme’. The idea was to cede sovereignty to Argentina, in return for which the...

    Venezuela

    Putin did support him, but Vlad seems to be running out of dictators to be pally with. Only Iran and N.Korea remain in terms of dictators who he can trade with. Now Syria has fallen, and he lost access to their port. Venezuela did trade with Russia, but obviously its uncertain what will...
