@lawrenceholden5716 the government should be funding the NHS (and indeed all services) to ensure its actually capable of dealing with the population we have. Instead it’s been systematically underfunded and then the government decided to inflict Brexit which smashed employee retention. NHS satisfaction was high as recently as 2010. The main issue we have is the lack of government investment which drive’s economic growth. Under Brown and Darling we were recovering, then Osborne and Cameron killed it with austerity. It’s got bugger all to do with migration. Last time we had this level of debt, the taxes were in the 90% region of high earners, and the economy was booming.

@aclark903 incorrect, the most successful countries have always applied secular values, not religious ones. These values have been shared by a greater or lesser extent by any culture that develops a modicum of philosophical or scientific progress, weather it’s pre-crusades Islam, Ancient Greek and Roman, Chinese, or Japanese cultures. Basically you need a level of tolerance and acceptance to allow progress to be made in spite of religious doctrine, so an easing or dogmatic adherence to a set of principles is the commonality, not Christianity. Look at China, they have eased there dogmatic adherence to there variant of communist authoritarianism and are now starting to become a world leader in science and technology. America on the other are going down a rabbit hole of religious fundamentalism which will at some point reduce their scientific output. The theory of Evolution is an excellent example of a discovery being made in spite of religion, not because of it. It was not a welcome discovery and it created major theological problems. Two hundred years prior and Darwin would likely have been a heretic. No country in the west follows christian biblical teachings literally as that would take us back to the heretic burning of the pre-enlightenment. Finally, North Korea is hardly an atheist (and I struggle to understand what an atheist country is if I’m honest, do you mean an authoritarian country with bans on “religions”. Or a country with no state religion?) country, it’s more of a cult of leader worship, where the leaders are effectively treated as gods. They even have a triumvirate like Christianity now.

@sonofsomerset1695 farage is godlike in his ability to lie with a smirk. No wonder why him and the big orange one get on so well.

@russellwilliams1163 your argument makes absolutely no sense. So Marx believed in Satan is evidence of Satan? Marx can be wrong on a point but right on other things. This is just some kind of weird appeal to authority fallacy.

@mogznwaz you expect us to believe that? The whole point of Brexit was getting shot of the freedom of movements foreigners who were predominantly White European.

Epicgeezer the guys could have said no, I don’t want to be interviewed.

@TheaFlemingRose vox pops are pretty useless as anything other than propaganda and most media use them. But at the end of the day, these people willingly let themselves be interviewed.
