  1. You have my entire agreement.

  2.  @candyquahogmarshmallow8257  Oh my goodness. You actually believe that there is a scientific consensus on covid? There is just a small cadre of gvt employed scientists who routinely parrot gvt/big pharma edicts whilst the rest are drowned out and/or scared dumb by the prospect of career destruction if they engage in debate, per the scientific method. Francis Collins' despicable, then private, comments about mounting counter-attacks on 'fringe' opinions which are coming from some of the world's most eminent scientists are a case in point and demonstrated exactly the machinations behind the scenes against the honest practice of science itself.

  3.  @candyquahogmarshmallow8257  You miss my points entirely. We don't know what the majority of relevant scientists think. Not without speaking to the millions of them. There is never, ever a settled consensus in science. If there is, it is not science. You don't seem intelligent at all. You demolish any reasonable discussion you might have had with your egregious ad hominem which you buttress with equally disrespectful patronisation.

  4.  @razachaswills5076  No benefit to anyone except the drugs cartels, all the shiny, new billionaires, and those who defrauded the UK (and other gvts) of £billions in 'loans' and other £support. Countries haven't benefited. Huge corporations, their shareholders and other opportunist individuals have benefited spectacularly. It's been a co-ordinated global effort to soak the ordinary people of every country.

  5. I entirely agree. I went to a grammar school. Except for picking up a smattering of useful Latin and enjoying a great music teacher who kindled my love of classical music, It didn't benefit me at all. All my substantive learning was had at private schools from age 3 and then at university. The reason that grammar schooling failed me and likely a huge cohort of pupils for several years? Before I went to grammar school, the gvt had a year or so previously declared the demise of such 'elitism'. Looking back, my grammar school at least was in disarray and trying to work out its new identity, its new curricula to meet the new one-size-fits-all diktats, amidst a slump in staff morale and alacrity. I imagine that this 'anti-elitist' edict had the same effect on state grammar schools all over the country. With that experience and having taught age16+ students at college (young people who'd been brutalised and diminished by their comprehensive experience - their fear and loathing of education and teachers was palpable and I recall it very clearly even now), I made sure to send my own children to public schools where they each flourished. (Thankfully, they all earned scholarships!) I became a comprehensive school governor in my own little bid to do what I could to raise horizons and standards. Of course, it was a forlorn project: the rot was well-entrenched by then, the 2000-odd pupils were largely commodities being processed through the machine . And that school was officially classed as a 'good' comprehensive. Come hell or high water, my grandchildren will be going to public schools, even if I have to sell everything I own.

  6. Perhaps a monocultural mode of policing would go some way to uniting the country. A demonstration and practice of Britishness, without fear or favour, the same standards of justice for all. No more Rotherhams...

  7.  @jamesflames6987  Well said. Thank you.

  8. My sentiments too. People died so that we could vote. To squander that vote on those who routinely and callously abuse it is tantamount to sacrilege as far as I'm concerned.

  9.  @evolassunglasses4673  Balkanisation?

  10. But for a mercurial whim or two he could well have been a remainer leader. He's in a party of one: the Boris Aggrandisement Party.

  11. @Ram Rod Yes, indeed. For the most part, those in the 'diverse' groups decided to make their homes in countries with much higher standards of living, justice, education, health etc. Countries which traditionally upheld the rule of law fairly applied to every citizen. For those receiving countries to change their application of the fair rule of law for some of the incomers is to destroy the very principles which drew them in the first place. And diminishes the quality of life for all. Way to obliterate civilisation and progress!

  12. Starting with the appointment by political correctness optics.

  13. Good points to ponder. The comparison reveals the engine of divisiveness.
