This is one of those things I try to bring up when people want to demolish the BBC. Like, I get it, change is needed but I'm not sure people realise just how much it will change the TV landscape if it's gone. Or how much soft power is in the sort of shows that would never get made otherwise.

Yep. Basically certain powers have worked to drown both systems to make a private architecture seem more appealing, and it's been long enough that people don't remember what it was like before (in the case of the NHS)
They'd love to take profit while dumbing everything down more.

What they almost assuredly haven't really considered is the impact of rising prices on the actions of other countries. We could see retaliation of various sorts from major trading partners in an effort to force the US to stop.

I wonder if it's the 'grassroots is tired of Democratic consultant machine' effect.
Do you think her campaign would have looked different in any way that would have changed the outcome if she *had* hired a manager? I don't.
They're also talking about taking over Iran's oil like they did Venezuela, with the money kept offshore. Rising prices aren't a bug, they're a feature.

Me too, but I suspect it's the way the question is worded and how they'd interpret it, vs some of the post which made it seem like the question was about 'others'.
Reform/Restore/UKIP types would have ruled out those 'others' before answering the question, most likely.
Im also not religious and in many ways anti-religion, but pastoral care like hospital chaplains is almost always completely wonderful and a good spot of humanity in places where it's needed the most. I have so much respect for people who do that kind of service

Just like the Tories, the Labour Party has become βdead insideβ.
Shabana Mahmood and Suella Braverman are supposed to be at the opposite ends of the political spectrum but, when it comes to vilifying refugees, youβd struggle to slide a cigarette paper between them.
