Have you guys in the US not run out of thoughts and prayers yet?
Once you have maybe you'll do something about this gun insanity.

I didn't vote for her party but in this world at this moment I can listen to Rachel Reeves.

Don't go getting all ageist now. I'm 67 and still have enough brainpower to easily match or out-do the adolescents and most of the so-called adults in the study.

It's a representative democracy then of the great British electorate. Shame.

Trouble is, many in the UK will do just that and for that very reason. And Farage is only one head of a very ugly hydra.

One only has to watch the vox pops on TV or read the comments in online news or on social media to see why the UK is in deep trouble. Lack of understanding, prejudice, jealousy, self-interest, indifference and outright stupidity are all rife in British society.
And each is armed with a vote.

We're so polite; 'dishonest'. Maybe it's just me.

Four pivotal ages in your brain's development revealed in new scientific study Brain scans on thousands of people reveal the dramatic shifts the brain goes through between birth and death.

I can remember 49 years ago like it was yesterday. I put a firework in a bottle, broke a window on a building site, drank Newcastle Brown ale until I was sick. I struggled to unclip my girlfriend's bra! That's teenage behaviour.
Now Farage, how come you can't remember being a racist little shit?

Nigel Farage admits hurting people was effortless.

I suppose for people like him it is.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is right to stand for those abused by Epstein and his 'special friends' AND apparently has found enlightenment and laudable decency. She's thinking about a run for President in 2028. It's so obvious. How stupid and gullible can an electorate be?
The answer is, "incredibly".

Prescriptions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are free (paid by taxpayers) but are ยฃ9.90 an item in England. Why are English people not outraged - they should be paid for by the taxpayer in England too! Are all you English blind or just indifferent?

Because this country is clearly full of sick human beings.

Sorry, but - what other answer could there be?

He made crystal clear who he is back in 2015.

He was elected POTUS TWICE - with a stint as an attempted overthrower of our government in between.

The USA is full of sick human beings.

77 million Americans would do the same presumably. They must think this is ok?

My daughter received a baby box today. She was very moved and delighted. This is government under the SNP and is laudable.
And if you're inclined to snipe about English taxpayers paying for it, don't waste your breath. The reason England doesn't get them is a choice by lousy UK governments.

I'm all for taxing all of those who voted for Brexit to compensate for the loss. That sounds fair doesn't it?

My point exactly. Labour will drive anger and the populists will latch on. The poor regions were shafted by Tories - that's their MO. They need investment but not robbing Peter to pay Paul. Tax the real rich, not those with family homes worth half a million.

Where are all these wealthy pensioners you speak of? How many pensioners on ยฃ25k a year (poor state pension + modest pension from working 40+years) go 4 cruises a year and run large 4x4s?
But these pensioners will see a 2p tax increase? It's weak policy and Labour know it.

Rachel Reeves seems intent on making the UK an even angrier nation. A budget full of stealthy extraction from pensioners, savers, car and home owners with little apparent vision for improvement to the UK.

Be sure that if the BBC pays a penny to Trump out of licence fees, it'll be the last licence fee they get from me. BBC were morons for giving the shithead ammunition.

Hey BBC, why don't you include this brave man's ethnicity too or is racial profiling a one way street in your world?

There you have it young people. Vote Reform and they'll screw you. Now pay attention for Christ's sake.
