The Lib Dems who despite a 60 year history of being pro EU, shoe horned into government the most anti EU party in Parliament then campaigned for a referendum that didn't require a super-majority then spent the next few years attacking Corbyn who had actually campaigned to remain?

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

I agree with much of what's in this post but nonetheless it kind of irritates me. It is long past time to stop talking about this in abstract, neutral terms, as though simple truth vs. falsehood is the relevant distinction. That just elides the real problem ...

"Higher total prices: Sellers' total asking prices were 60 percent higher in markets with 16 sub-prices than in those with one price.
