Fear of the consequences, I would imagine.

I've never understood USA lunatic gun laws. But the excuse was always 'we can defend ourselves if there's a coup'. Well, there's a coup. Why no guns? Could it be that the ones with the guns are the ones perpetrating the coup?

think this is sort of interesting as actually.....no you probably didn't need to do "more research" into it? you just had to trust the state and local authorities to know better than you when it came to vaccinating your child? not good that the internet has killed faith in institutions!

Atheists don’t believe in God and still manage to have morals, Republicans Christians say they believe in God but manage to have no morals

He has no Christian values. He's clean, neatly dressed, polite in his manner and pure evil in his heart. He is the perfect example of everything Christ said he shouldn't be. A heartless, cruel liar and a total hypocrite, acting out his fake 'Christianity' for all to see.

I only know America from one brief visit, 1994, Florida. Never again. But I visited Russia (Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk) on a number of occasions. But now never again. They are much the same now. Plenty of good people, but ruled by monsters.

Is there anybody on earth for whom the gap between what he knows, and what he thinks he knows, is wider?

Personally I preferred Patrick Troughton, but expect I'm in a small minority here. Not watched any of the recent ones.

I don't want to hear Andrea Jenkins. She thinks she is a singer. She has a voice. There is no music in her. Only loudness.

Still no PR though. If it works for mayoral elections, it works for general elections. I feel like the whole country’s future hangs on whether we stick with FPTP or go to PR. It’s time!

This is the same Johnson who wants the Epstein files released? Does he know what's in them?

Well done Chelsea - but I think any other UK team would have done the same.

Agreed - best museum ever, and in such perfect, amazing surroundings. Just back from Finland, where we visited Lusto for perhaps the sixth time in 20 years.

1. Alpha males are not fat. 2. Christian men do not describe themselves as Alpha males.

Of course gender pronouns are in the Bible!! 'He' and 'She' are gender pronouns.

Displays of military might, beloved of leaders who can't understand any better way of leadership. But it apparently impresses the unthinking masses. Saw one once in Yekaterinburg, and people couldn't understand why I hated it.

We're from UK but live in Ireland (Republic) since 2019. Some pretty bad history of a) the way the British treated the Irish and b) The way the strongly Catholic Irish treated children of unmarried parents.

I volunteered for 10 years on the Keighley&Worth Valley (as an adult!) but there was a young persons group which involved youngsters learning about and experiencing the workings of the railway, and moving into positions of responsibility when they were old enough. What does this law forbid?

What beats me is that he continued with his programmes with no sense of shame or embarrassment. I don't know how people get like that. Total lack of self-awareness.

If he was from UK he'd be a typical Eton oik.
