  1. A truly vile human being.
    1100
  2. ‘’I despise the prime minister.’’ Can’t argue with that.
    865
  3. ‘’He’s a lovely guy.’’ Give me fucking strength.
    615
  4. Corbyn still living rent free in Rishi’s head. 🤣
    223
  5. He's too busy picking mushrooms.
    128
  6. Rishi ''I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper-class, I have friends who are. . . working class...but err...well, not working class'' Sunak. England, you're well and truly screwed.
    125
  7. 7:10: A voice of reason. Can you interview more quantum physicists, please?
    124
  8. 4:25: ‘’Emotions don’t get you anywhere.’’ Yes, much better to block out any form of emotion and empathy and just be a cold, calculating psychopath. 😐
    102
  9. 13:24: 'No one really cares anymore...(about) anything. At all.' Quite an accurate summation, sadly. There seems to be a pervasive sense of nihilism within society that appears impossible to negate.
    98
  10. 'The World is tiny compared to the Universe.' - Trump, 2019. Next level stable genius right there.
    78
  11. 0:29: ‘. . . make life more experience for everyone back home.’ Huh?
    61
  12. Solidarity with all striking workers. Have to say that I'm not impressed with Channel 4 News' tone with regard to the industrial action we're seeing. Guilt tripping railway staff, etc into feeling some kind of remorse for withdrawing their labour (strikes are supposed to cause disruption) is not a good look.
    59
  13. Suella Braverman cried over Boris Johnson having to step down and thinks he’s a ‘’remarkable politician’’ and ‘’outstanding prime minister’’? Let that sink in for a moment. These people are off the charts crazy.
    51
  14. 0:53: ''When Boris was first elected, I thought we had an outstanding prime minister.'' 🤣 This caller is a bit slow.
    44
  15. Complete fruitcakes.
    43
  16.  @Alexxx---101 : Said no sane person ever.
    43
  17. Badenoch is completely embarrassing. Not much more to add really.
    42
  18. Solidarity. Keep up the fight.
    42
  19. DRoss: what a complete and utter plonker. 😂
    41
  20. @racertian: What a pathetic response. 😂
    40
  21. 2:51: A message from a Tory leader that resonates with Scotland and that requires savvy and nuance to deliver? Truss or Sunak will definitely be able to do that. 🤣 As for that poor Conservative councillor who thinks Truss has something 'special' about her, what a deluded fool.
    36
  22. 'Do you know any tories?' 'I hope not.' Ha!
    35
  23.  @Jamie-uk2zh : Insane lad.
    33
  24. Still struggling to drink water I see. What a truly stable genius.
    33
  25. 16:40: Did I hear that right? Truss’ performance so far has been her ‘’focused’’? If that’s the case, god help us should that focus waver.
    32
  26. 10:02: 'Boris Johnson is the person that can bring people together.' Eurghh... I really hope the British public are not that dense.
    31
  27. Jack Brereton is a weaselly little character, isn’t he?
    31
  28. I am getting a bit sick of people who are now heaping praise on May. Yes, she might seem a bit more serious than Johnson but never forget just how awful she can be. This discussion is quite right to draw attention to the fact that her time as Home Secretary and PM was riddled with disastrous errors of judgement.
    31
  29. Of course. Sunak is a liar.
    31
  30. @Alexander Stefanov: He’s a Tory; there’s your answer.
    28
  31. ''I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody ... you'll be pleased to know, and I continue to shake hands and ... go about business as usual.'' - Boris Johnson, 2020
    28
  32.  @muchacho56 : ''(Hendrix's) songwriting skills were fair.'' I hope you're not being serious. 'Little Wing', 'Castles Made of Sand', 'Voodoo Child', 'Foxy Lady', 'Machine Gun', 'Purple Haze', 'Fire', 'The Wind Cries Mary', 'Crosstown Traffic'...the list goes on. How you can label iconic tracks such as those that still sound fresh fifty years after Hendrix's death as ''fair'' in terms of playing and compositional aptitude displayed is moronic beyond belief. And stop with the ''sloppy'' nonsense too. It's embarrassing.
    26
  33. I agree. I think the Tory Party in particular can, and will, get worse. Horrifying.
    25
  34. @Gambit771: Brexit was quite clearly a disastrous decision. Your pathetic protest vote is leading to chaos.
    24
  35. Oh dear. Poor Bill. 🤦
    23
  36.  @ernestomenendez9307 <------fragility intensifies
    23
  37.  @twistedsister2568 : Is that one of your burner accounts, Suella?
    22
  38. What a bizarre comment. Who in their right mind wouldn't stand up for LGBTI rights?
    22
  39. I'm dying here. 😂
    21
  40. DRoss: rekt.
    19
  41. Because, you know, he's quirky, he's a laugh.
    19
  42.  @blackphilip8936 : '...climate change lie...' Stop. The level of stupidity hurts.
    18
  43. Enjoyed this interview.
    17
  44. Sadly yes, and English voters blew it. Unforgivable.
    17
  45. I agree. That particular non-answer was truly horrendous and should've been called out here.
    17
  46. @user-lx8hv4sr4i: Well that was certainly a rather pathetic contribution towards the discussion. Due to the mechanisms by which capital exploits people, it’s simply not possible to just ‘’leave’’ as you’ve suggested.
    16
  47. Completely agree with Corbyn's summation at the end of this interview. Political movements must move in a different direction to the one that has dominated for centuries if we're to avoid destroying this planet prematurely.
    16
  48.  @austin8775 : ''They always look like a child threw bs together'' Could you possibly have written a more ignorant comment?
    16
  49.  @sanchog5704 : Says the troll account.
    15
  50.  @genericusername3212 : Ha! Trying to defend Trump... I do hope you're joking.
    15
  51. 'Wouldn't ever deal with fender. Boring bland and overrated' What a ridiculous statement.
    14
  52. @Alex: You’re right and you should move up here. :)
    14
  53. Millions of English plonkers apparently.
    14
  54.  @augustgirl515 : ''both medieval art and abstract paintings are genuinely ugly.'' Entirely meaningless statement.
    14
  55. Blatant whataboutery. You know fine well that straight people don't face the same levels of bullying and stigma as those who are LGBTI.
    14
  56.   : How can someone who revolutionised electric guitar and who was, to use your term, an innovator, possibly be ''overrated''? To then go on to claim that technical ability alone is the mark of a good musician is also absurd. And no, Hendrix was not a ''...pretty standard blues player''. He is (rightly) lauded because he was the opposite. Ever listened to 'Machine Gun' live at the Fillmore East? Is that your definition of an average, run-of-the-mill blues player?
    14
  57. Greed.
    14
  58. @Regular Channel: The US committed suicide long before that. On a positive note, American voters did at least come to their senses and got rid of the utter embarrassment that is Donald Trump.
    13
  59.  @add3to6 : Aww look, you even managed to put the word pandemic in quotations. Aren't you special. A special kind of stupid.
    13
  60. Most of it sounded very pop-like to me too.
    13
  61. Yes, she's shown herself to be untrustworthy. Hardly the 'fresh start' the Tories are falling over themselves to tell us about.
    13
  62. @cidertom5140: As opposed to the Tories who run the country down into the ground. Aren’t they just great.
    13
  63. 'Hard-won Brexit freedoms.' 😂
    12
  64. What's horrific about the human body?
    12
  65. It's meaningless. Just a campaign sound bite.
    12
  66. And the quality of the structures built still surpass anything that is constructed today. Figures like Brunel were revolutionary engineering giants.
    12
  67. Good interview; nice to hear a sane, rational voice dissecting these issues.
    12
  68. @Raphael Sainte-Claire: Imagine needing that explained to you. 🤦
    12
  69. ‘’Well, I, I, I. . .I think...I think actually I’m a very good…um, uh, uh, a very good uhhhh, umm, uh, person, who can actually see character and. . .I believe (Boris Johnson is innocent)’’ Well, that certainly sounded convincing. 😂
    12
  70.  @JYGO1020 : You won't get a sensible response. Only a troll would post something as ridiculous as that.
    11
  71. Tories have morals?
    11
  72. @stiff chocolate: People with a conscience.
    11
  73. Why?
    11
  74. Right? What the hell goes through the minds of these people?
    11
  75. @james thurlow: Wrong.
    11
  76. ‘’I’m delivering for Britain.’’ 😂
    11
  77. @Mark Bennett: Oh heeheehee…hahaha…how long did it take you to come up with that gem?
    11
  78. @ronald tinson: Your grasp of spelling simple words in English is certainly challenged.
    11
  79. You can say that again.
    11
  80. What a disgusting comment to post in response to the content of this video.
    11
  81. Care to cite all this so-called misinformation rather than simply calling Chomsky an ''idiot''?
    10
  82. Right, ok. Thanks for that.
    10
  83. @Adam Ibrahim: Still trolling?
    10
  84. Just a Tory twat.
    10
  85. Don’t forget Gullis. Vile character.
    10
  86. Someone's got their head well and truly buried in the sand.
    10
  87. Good.
    10
  88. ‘Sir’ Michael Fabricant. 🤣
    10
  89. Guff by name, guff by nature.
    10
  90. What an absolute load of misinformed drivel.
    10
  91. It's been reported multiple times that she was a strong swimmer.
    10
  92.  @player34536 : Seems like the conspiracy theory nut jobs want exactly that. Beggars belief.
    10
  93. @canufi6my: Are you claiming that children deserve to die?
    10
  94. Right? One of the oddest things I've heard in relation to this whole debate.
    10
  95. It's vital for creating in any art form.
    10
  96. 8:42: ''There are a lot of anti-vaxxers around; you only need to look at social media to see that.'' Looks at comments Yep, that checks out.
    10
  97. 3:13: Trump's memory loss is quite frankly terrifying. What a insufferable oaf he is.
    10
  98. 1:49: 'I'm a very stable genius.' Comedy of the highest order.
    10
  99. Why! Why!
    9
  100. Yes master, possessor of great wisdom of which nothing can be said. ''swahioi''? And you have the cheek to call a highly respected public intellectual an ''idiot'' without even attempting to back up your claim? Must troll harder.
    9
  101.  Craig Celmer : Which members do you know for certain are paedophiles? Do provide names please.
    9
  102.  garrulousglandarius : 7:43: He couldn't even pronounce totalitarianism. Trump is one of the most stupid, inarticulate incumbents in US presidential history. Examples of him slurring and talking complete nonsense are embarrassingly easy to find.
    9
  103.  @sayadhaq : Let's see the evidence of racism then.
    9
  104. 11:34: These days, if you say you’re English, you get arrested and thrown in jail…
    9
  105. @jeffsimon9594: Funny way of admitting that you have an inferiority complex. Why do you feel so threatened?
    9
  106. ‘’I’ve never been controversial.’’ Love it.
    9
  107. Very weird take. Try and gain power through dishonesty and lack of principle... I'm sure that'll end up working out well.
    9
  108. @SlowhandGreg: That Labour, in their current guise at least, are a truly dreadful prospect. Increasingly authoritarian, seemingly unable to stand up for the most basic of working class principles, and intent to continue with the status quo (unsustainable greed/economic growth based on capital) that is destroying the planet.
    9
  109. @Joe Dawson: 🤢
    9
  110. @Henry Burton: Spot on.
    9
  111. @scotmacc: There is plenty of support for Scottish independence.
    9
  112. Oh look, it's Andy, here to make an arse of himself yet again.
    9
  113. ''The best few.''? Feck sake, these Tory voters are a right state.
    9
  114. True.
    9
  115. Galloway lost when he hung up.
    9
  116. In a heartbeat!
    9
  117. @andyn6266: Right, because people are supposed to just forget how utterly abominable he was as POTUS.
    9
  118. 🤣
    9
  119. Of course; every sane person knows that.
    9
  120. Yes, truly shocking.
    9
  121. @nick Ross: ‘’how we can make Britain great again..’’ Over to you Brexiteers. Please do tell us about all the benefits we should expect to see as a result of leaving the EU.
    9
  122. @Manoharan: ‘’. . . he is the only person who is capable of bringing Britain out of this financial crisis!’’ Really? Sunak is the only person in politics who you think is capable of resolving the financial problems faced by the UK?
    9
  123.  @Paul_Davies : Ok, troll.
    8
  124. @petrumaika8958: ‘’You'll all be sorry and regretting your vote to oust Rishi.’’ Said no sane person ever.
    8
  125. @perry3770: Watch the video. The design of the OceanGate sub was terrible compared to the type of vessel (i.e. the two Mir deep submergence vehicles ) that Cameron and others used to go down to the wreck of the Titanic. The main problem is that Stockton Rush wanted to flount regulations (he openly admitted this) and made decisions in terms of design that were very dodgy from an engineering perspective.
    8
  126.  @zuluwarrior1648 : Comments veering towards homophobia now? Stay classy, troll.
    8
  127. @ojj3340: Probably the ridiculous notion that god exists.
    8
  128. @MrWhite Stone: That’s what you took away after watching this video? Fucking hell. 🤦
    8
  129. Oh look, Pamela has worked out how to post comments on YT too.
    8
  130. 11:34: Errr...that would be a yes then. Thanks for confirming that Ruth.
    8
  131. It’s just embarrassing.
    8
  132. 17:51: Sanders doesn’t know what Zionism means?
    8
  133. And the physics-based counterargument to the claim put forward by Hossenfelder regarding the Einsteinian idea of spacetime and where free will fits into this picture of reality is what exactly? Simply calling it 'nonsense' isn't good enough.
    8
  134.  @boogiewoogie9770 : I think the tides are turning in that values associated with truth and rationality are constantly being eroded. Take a look at the U.S.: The leader of the 'greatest nation in the free world' lies at every opportunity and seeks to create division within society with his immigration myths (immigrants are criminals). The UK is now in a position that doesn't seem much better - the PM accused of lying to the Queen and potentially at risk of breaking the law if a No Deal Brexit is implemented on October 31st. Not enough people really seem to care about the climate crisis we are facing; growth and profit matter more than the destruction of natural resources. Etc, etc. All of this filters down to young people as is evidenced in this video.
    8
  135.  @thechangingman3763 : No, it definitely wasn't Geoffrey Cox. The voice is completely different and came from the MP who can be seen to the right of Bercow's head at 4:56.
    8
  136. @Jericho: Angry tories who feel that Bercow is making life difficult for them and going outwith the bounds of his role as Speaker... what else can one say? Tempers are frayed.
    8
  137. @A.H Octavius: Going to tell us what we should be incredibly happy about after having to endure over a decade of awful Tory governments?
    8
  138. @Darth Sidious: That’s because his political views are very much the status quo, unfortunately.
    8
  139. And he probably believes it as well. Horrifying.
    8
  140. What a bizarre incident.
    8
  141. Good.
    8
  142. @muckspreader1able: Please don’t joke, some people really are dumb enough to believe nonsense like that.
    8
  143.  @tyronewynn982 : Apparently they should should be forced to have the baby anyway because a (more often than not) religiously inclined person tells them that's the only option. Wouldn't want women having control over their own bodies now, would we?
    8
  144.  @ChrisPatrick-q6k : Anything sensible that you'd like to contribute? Baseless smears won't cut it.
    8
  145. @Johno U.K.: It would still be a hell of a lot better than having someone like Sunak as PM. Or Truss. Or BoJo the clown.
    8
  146. Is he hell.
    8
  147. Baffling.
    8
  148. @Napoleon_673: If you need someone to spell out why this is entirely objectionable you must be beyond help. Or a troll.
    8
  149.  @MajasDad : Precisely. The comments you are referring to are usually made by people who have never even picked up a brush.
    7
  150. What he stated was factually correct: Johnson has a well recorded history of telling lies.
    7
  151. 0:40: Nothing about that in the Edinburgh Agreement though is there, Ben Wallace? These Tories will peddle this 'once in a generation' line at every opportunity even though is really amounts to diddly-squat.
    7
  152. Deluded Donny still thinks he's in with a chance. Hilarious.
    7
  153. Can't say enough good things about Ian Thornley. His slide playing floors me.
    7
  154.  @Blackbullet_racing : You didn't vote for No Deal. That wasn't on the ballot paper.
    7
  155. 🤣
    7
  156. Yeah, it’s terrible now that they’ve banned laughing.
    7
  157.  @1875-b6n : A segment was filmed at Dumbiedykes; hardly a tourist hotspot. As is evidenced in this video, and as most people who live in the city know, it's an area that suffers from social and economic deprivation. Where would you have filmed in Edinburgh to provide viewers with a more accurate representation of council cuts and austerity?
    7
  158. In other words, ignore reality. Terrible advice.
    7
  159. @Janet Hacking: Found the Tory apologist.
    7
  160. The subject of the work is the human body and to deny that humans suffer is absurd. I also don't agree with your line of reasoning that implies that there can't be any aesthetic beauty associated with horror, pain, blood, etc. It seems like you'd be happier with mere idealisation; perfect bodies free from everything that artists are actually interested in. A bit odd, I have to admit.
    7
  161.  @Tao_Tology : They will do nothing but increase support for Scottish independence.
    7
  162. @P Marsh: Quite a sweeping (and dishonest) statement.
    7
  163.  you know i am right : Normal people denigrate LGBTI people and treat them as second class citizens? Troll on...
    7
  164. Bot.
    7
  165. @Faith in God: With a username like that I think we can safely dismiss anything you have to say on the matter.
    7
  166. You must be joking.
    7
  167. ''Cards on the table: you're a clown.'' Brilliant.
    7
  168.  @lemdixon01 : ''fake pandemic''? What a moron you are.
    7
  169.  @lemdixon01 : ''They're bringing in global Communism..." Wow, you really do live in a fantasy world.
    7
  170. @Andy Forshaw: You love the taste of Tory boots don’t you? 🥾 👅
    7
  171. Yep, depressing as fuck.
    7
  172. Don’t be ridiculous.
    7
  173. Hardly. Would you rather they weren’t held to account?
    7
  174. ''doesn't really have the policies to be serious enough''? What on earth are you waffling on about?
    7
  175. @Thomas Boeker: There is power in unions.
    7
  176.  @alan6 : A conspiracy theorist thinking? That would be a first.
    7
  177. @Ben: People don’t understand why medical staff are on strike? No need to project your ignorance into others.
    7
  178.  @davidnielsen5695 : He is most definitely not alright.
    7
  179.  @crustallos3023 : In your dreams. The vote has nothing to do with England.
    7
  180. Bring back Boris…fucking hell. 🤣
    7
  181. ​@Sandy Harris: Pretty much the entirety of Trump's rhetoric is centred around nurturing fear, anger, and division. Putting that to one side however, why did you completely ignore the fact that he lies and promotes false and misleading information (''alternative facts'') at a rate never before seen from a US President?
    7
  182. Really? Has Starmer ever mentioned that?
    7
  183. ''All those conspiracy theories now becoming facts.'' No.
    7
  184. 5:02: ''Anthropomorphic climate change.'' Maybe it's time you started listening to climate experts and other scientists a bit more carefully, Govey. You know, the ones who you were so keen to say that people had 'had enough of'.
    7
  185. The veneer of respect is incredibly thin in most quarters (particularly in Scotland and Ireland). What this anachronism of a family stands for is disgusting.
    7
  186. I’m sorry you find facts so depressing.
    7
  187.  Craig Celmer : Just provide a list of the names here. You must know them if they are mentioned in this video that you've watched.
    6
  188. They are dull. Hitler didn’t have what it takes to be a good artist.
    6
  189. Very true. Reality, viewed through the lens of mainstream politics, makes little sense.
    6
  190. Very insightful interview but as other people have already commented, please ditch the intro sequence. We don't need to see the same section of a conversation twice.
    6
  191. Pretty laughable that they are terrified of communism when the conservatives are in power and the UK may take a further lurch to the right if Johnson is forced to step down. Bunch of morons.
    6
  192. England will never vote Labour or Tory again? Yep, you're still living in a fantasy land.
    6
  193.  @Gambit771 : ''priest vote''? What are you going on about? As for the rest of your comment, all you've done throw out vague insults against an entire country in addition to blaming the EU for everything (once again) instead of taking some responsibility for your own choices. One day you're going to have to change your tune.
    6
  194.  @mouthghost6529 : Just if you say you're English? Actually just thrown in jail?
    6
  195. I think you need to up your threshold in terms of what can be classed as human.
    6
  196.  @stuartmaltby2035 : I would listen to that. :)
    6
  197. God...lol. Grow up.
    6
  198. Whataboutery.
    6
  199. Bog-brained Murphys.
    6
  200. @HoustonSam61: ‘This is the first time I've seen Owen Jones do something other than vent self-righteous, manufactured outrage.‘ You’ve not watched or read a lot of Owen Jones’ work, have you?
    6
  201. ''I voted to leave because...the EU had banned the use of creosote...'' A revealing insight into the mind of the brain dead Brexiteer.
    6
  202. @artnull13: Yes. Any other daft questions you want to ask?
    6
  203.  @StokeseyHD : You're a fan of compulsive liars?
    6
  204. It's not good news for the Tories at all.
    6
  205. Dream on. It's up to the people of Scotland to decide, not England.
    6
  206.  @AT-bq1kg : The tin-foil hat brigade are even denying the existence of conspiracy theories now? That's a new angle.
    6
  207. @andypdq: That claim is one of the most bizarre things I’ve heard a politician utter recently and there’s no shortage of odd things to choose from. The country is just as divided as ever on Brexit; anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that as you rightly point out.
    6
  208. Good joke.
    6
  209. @Richard Lewis: Because BloJo was so honest during his time as PM, right? 😂

  240.  @Alan_Mac : Politicians say things all the time; what matters is what was put in writing and signed by both parties back in 2012 and there is absolutely nothing in the Edinburgh Agreement that states that the vote on Scottish independence should be limited to 'once in a generation'. This daft argument that unionists like to trot out is a non-starter.
    5
  241.  @Alan_Mac : Scotland was told that it wouldn't be taken out of the EU. That was a lie; just like the majority of claims made during the Brexit campaign. Like it or not, the world has changed since 2014 and it is quite right that the SNP are offering the people of Scotland another independence referendum. You seem to think that reality is a fixed, static, entity and that democracy is not an ongoing process. This is an absurd outlook to have for obvious reasons. The UK is already finished: get used to it.
    5
  242.  @Alan_Mac : I don't recall the SNP stating that there should have been another vote on independence on 20th September 2014; that must be information that only you are privy to. As for 'Nationalist extremists', you are really struggling to come up with something coherent now. 😂 Nice of you to confirm your staunch anti-democratic approach to politics though.
    5
  243. Yes, genuinely shocking.

  244. And what wall would that be exactly? In case it had bypassed you, the SNP are more outward looking than most parties; they opposed Brexit and would like Scotland to rejoin the EU.

Take one well known example of such a theory: the 1969 Moon landing. It is certainly not a fact that this event didn't take place, although some idiots make an 'argument' for this. Moreover, it's not a theory (in the informal sense of the word; if you are using theory in a technical, scientific sense your comment above makes even less sense because by definition there could never be a theory that man did not land on the Moon) that should be taken seriously because it's not supported by empirical evidence, rigorous research, or facts. And who are you to decide which ''conspiracy researcher'' should be taken seriously when facts and evidence inevitably end up going out of the window?

There are countless philosophers who are posing challenging questions in response to many of the big ideas in science. Two that immediately come to mind are in the field of consciousness studies and quantum mechanics. Philosophy is concerned with critical reflective thinking; quite baffling how someone could be so uncharitable towards it as a discipline.

In context, it sounded like it was aimed solely at Ukraine.
    5
  302. Interesting to compare this with the experiment conducted recently by Tod's Workshop. It would've been good to have more info with regard to the distance the bow was being used at against the breastplate, as well as the thickness of the armour being used. The conclusion reached at 3:00 mins into this video (the arrows could easily be shot back at the enemy after striking armour) seems extremely dubious given that every arrow in the Tod's Workshop video shattered with heads flying off and the iron being badly deformed. The only conclusion that I can come to is that this armour was of a poorer quality, hence the resultant holes and lack of damage to the arrows.

  305. ​  : I read what you wrote very carefully; I even quoted you. There wasn't much to figure out except some horribly misinformed opinions. You on the other hand have clearly not read my comments otherwise you wouldn't still be repeating simple-minded rubbish like, 'He captured the music of the time very well...'': a backhanded compliment if ever there was one. Hendrix did a bit more than that. His music is still iconic and and transcends 60s hippie culture. It hasn't dated, that's the point. You didn't even attempt to answer the question at the end of my last response either. Still waiting for that. For someone who is now keen to downplay the role of 'technical ability' on the guitar, you sure harp on about it a lot (''...technique wise he's somewhere in the bang average category'', ''I've seen plenty of average joes...that are just as technically gifted as he was.''). Your initial comment certainly hinted that it's a very important factor to you; songwriting and creativity coming second. Feel free to keep making a prat of yourself on a public forum though, it is amusing.
    5
  306.   : I'm not annoyed in the slightest; just amused by your constant stupidity. You've not made any points that need to be refuted as you've not put forward any cogent arguments.

My point still stands: being scared of communism or far-left ideas is absurd when the right currently have everything stacked in their favour. A communist regime is not suddenly going to take over No 10. If you can lay out a cogent argument that there is a shadowy leftist force controlling everything you might have a point, but I won't hold my breath.

  321. @VividChi: The official Vote Leave campaign promised that it would secure a deal with Europe and that this would include a continuation of free trade. It's disingenuous to imply that leaving should be synonymous with the worst possible outcome for the country (No Deal). Maybe you're ok with the tories being completely irresponsible and lying to voters though? If you can find any written statement made by Dominic Raab (or even a tv/radio interview) that explicitly warned that the UK would leave without a deal then please do post a link here. If people did not have access to that information then how could they have been expected to make a fully informed decision back in 2016? Also, what about Michael Gove's comments that, ''...we didn’t vote to leave without a deal. That wasn’t the message of the campaign I helped lead. During that campaign, we said we should do a deal with the EU and be part of the network of free trade deals that covers all Europe, from Iceland to Turkey.'' Or, ''Leaving without a deal on March 29 would not honour that commitment. It would undoubtedly cause economic turbulence.'' It's funny just how quickly Brexiteers are happy to forget these promises.

  356. Grassroots campaigning will be needed to secure a much more progressive approach to politics that will hopefully counter the reactionary populism we’ve seen so much of lately. A shift towards a greener future will also be essential to combat the rampant unsustainable greed that defines corporations that stop at nothing to generate profit. It will be slow, hard work but unless those two objectives are front and centre then we may as well give up.

Reporting comments of this kind seems to do nothing at all which renders the report feature utterly useless.

  382.  @GH-pt3eg : The Spectator, Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph, Evening Standard, The Mail on Sunday, The Sun, The Sunday Times, GB News...the list goes on and on. If you think the majority of news outlets in the UK are far left (the idea that Murdoch is somehow promoting communist ideas through News Corp is utterly laughable) then you really must be living under a rock. The electorate in the UK - particularly in England - are relatively conservative in their outlook, hence the success of the Tory Party when it comes to general elections. Again, refer to the content of this video for more info on these basic points instead of going off on some fantasy fuelled tangent.

I was taking issue with a much more fundamental point: people cannot simply leave their work (particularly if they are in low paid, menial jobs) because they are living from paycheck to paycheck and would very quickly be in serious difficulty if they did. Large sections of the workforce are being exploited under capital when there are viable alternatives that would enable humans to flourish and not just be worked to the bone for a pittance. I'm sorry that you this fact has somehow bypassed you.

If the people of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland want to have a referendum on their own future then yes (that should be allowed to go ahead). You don't win or defeat an argument about independence by not allowing people to express a view; let them express that view . . . I've said that many times about Scotland (in particular). What I did say (about) Scotland is that I would hope there would be no demand within the first two years of the government being elected for a referendum because I wanted to get the chance for the investment fund (laid out in Labour Party's manifesto at the time) to start to work.''

  523. This patronising attitude is exactly the kind of thing that is pushing Scotland towards independence. The SNP won hands down in Scotland; Scotland is a country in its own right.

Just lumping Scotland in with the Tory win elsewhere in the UK is not a tenable position in any way whatsoever.

It's all done under the guise of being open-minded and/or a critical thinker but in reality conspiracy theorists are none of these things. All you're really arguing for is a relativistic viewpoint: my ideas (completely devoid of evidence) are just as valid as scientific understanding. Of course, this position should not be taken seriously. Conspiracies are just that; unsubstantiated theories (theories in this case being similar to guesswork, rather than a scientific meaning of the term which is something completely different).

I wish I was paid to debate with conspiracy theorist nutters. So far I've had people who think the moon landing was fake, people who deny the existence of COVID-19, and morons like you arguing that what looks to be a largely effective vaccine for said virus is the end of the world. What else are you going to put forward in the name of critical thinking? A flat earth? The fact is that the vaccine has been developed quickly because trials were conducted in parallel with one another and more resources were thrown at it. It might not fit into your warped version of reality, but this is not some shady attempt by governments at mind control. You're just exhibiting unhealthy levels of paranoia.

However, if there's no substantial evidence that COVID vaccines can lead to the problems mentioned above (there isn't, and just like the OP you've completely failed to provide any) then based on empirical knowledge/safety tests (again, there don't seem to be any issues in the vast majority of cases) they should be offered to those who want them. Moreover, the tech used in the vaccines is most certainly not ''unknown and new''. It's been around since the 1980s. Your ignorance is showing yet again.

  580.  @raphaelsainte-claire4861 : I wasn't aware that Lynch was responsible for education in this country and I've not claimed for one moment that he should be PM or the Secretary of State for Education. The general point that the Tories have had more than enough time messing things up still holds though. What part of that do you disagree with exactly? Also, are you liking your own comments?
    3
  581.  @raphaelsainte-claire4861 : I sided with the argument that he would do a better job compared to the psychopaths we currently have in cabinet. How anyone could disagree with this is baffling. I did not, however, claim he would be the ''best choice for running the country'' as you've stated. I can think of other names that are nowhere near as bad as Sunak and who I'd rather see as PM. Putting that to one side though, Lynch is a reformist and would seek to redistribute wealth in a way that is fairer for society. His views on tackling climate change are also sensible. Your specific questions are irrelevant as there's not going to be a time when he forms a government. In a purely hypothetical scenario, it would make sense to have him as Secretary of State for Transport because that's his area of expertise. Can you try answering my questions now? Why are you so intent on defending disastrous Tory government after disastrous Tory government? What is it about their policies and ideology that you find so appealing? And why are you liking your own posts?

  582.  @raphaelsainte-claire4861 : He understands that the way the railways are run in this country is completely backwards. Moreover, he would seek to pay the people he represents fairly for their work. That's a better start than anything the Tories have to offer. What experience does Mark Harper, who studied PPE, have of commercial ocean going shipping? Or international air freight? Hint: not very much, but here you are seemingly defending him.

Again, try reading what I have written for once rather than projecting your own willful ignorance onto everything. ''This bizarre lie that you think Lynch would be a better Tory than Sunak is just ridiculous.'' What on earth are you babbling on about now? Lynch would be a better Tory than Sunak? Who said that is a Conservative? Or are you just throwing random words together now in the vain hope that they will make some kind of sense? ''Also, I am not sure you have asked a question so far?'' Wrong again. Try reading through my previous comments and you'll find it. I've made the effort to read all your posts, you could try doing the same now.

  597. It's astonishing just how many people in the comments think that evolution is a theory in the colloquial sense of the word, therefore it must just be a 'guess' or 'speculation'. Case in point, the user 'Scott David Williams' (who has since deleted all of his posts because he was called out on his bullshit) stated that: ‘Theory= educated guess, nothing more’. I replied to this with the following: 'Theories in science (such as evolution by natural selection) are based on facts, evidence, empirical knowledge about the natural world, are subject to experiment, etc. Evolution is the mechanism which accounts for the diversity of life we see around us. It is not a 'guess' in any way.' Scott David Williams' response: 'Yes, evolution is a theory,(not a fact) a scientifically based, highly educated guess. But still a guess. Gravity, however, is in no way theoretical to me. It is a fact.' My response: 'Because science is falsifiable and new information might come along to disprove a theory does not equate to a theory being guesswork. Not having access to all facts does not mean that evolution is false or simply 'speculation'. *Scott David Williams*: 'you are merely an ape that has learned some basic math, rudimentary writing, and doesn't shit on the floor. Good day to you sir!’ That's what you're up against with these conspiracy theorists.

Obvious examples of conspiracies surrounding the new vaccine include that it will make everyone who takes it infertile, that it's a ploy by governments to implement mind control, that it will alter human DNA, that it's all part of the 'great reset agenda'...nonsense like that for which there is no evidence whatsoever. This stuff is adopted by paranoid morons and shared on social media.
    3
  610.  @JS-ll8ro : The whole point of the discussion is about knowledge, evidence, and empirical science; you seem to be having a hard time following that. As I've already suggested, science is not in the business of using blind intuition, making random pronouncements without evidence, and claiming to know everything. Those traits are the domain of the conspiracy theorist, and, not surprisingly, those of a religious inclination. Not all points of view have equal epistemological worth unless you're some kind of relativist. Someone that believes in a flat earth deserves to be mocked because there's simply no evidence to back up this claim. The same applies to those who think COVID-19 is part of some vast conspiracy, or the moon landing was faked... The list goes on. Why you feel the need to defend people who believe outright rubbish is baffling. Your faux meekness isn't fooling anyone.

Modernism as a movement started in the late 19th century and ended in 1970s. Outside of Renaissance masters such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, etc the most famous painters and sculptors in history are from the period associated with modern art. Cézanne, van Gogh, Matisse, Duchamp, Bacon, Pollock, Rothko...the list goes on. Even people with little or no real knowledge of art are familiar with these names so your bizarre assertion that 'Modern artists are not famous' is clearly false. You also have to explain in what way van Gogh's work is 'too subjective' and therefore doesn't resonate with people. Good luck with that.

Methodological naturalism as a means of understanding reality is diametrically opposed to mere religious faith and believing in irrational absurdities (like the idea of supernatural entities). If this faith-based view is indeed the perspective you choose to adopt, your position is incredibly weak. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

You won’t hear many people talking about this though because implementing a new kind of communism is simply too daunting a prospect for most to think about.

  657. ​ kindinot : Comment made by Trump on the Iran nuclear deal during a campaign rally in South Carolina on July 21, 2015: ''Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, okay, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right — who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.'' There are thousands of similar examples highlighting Trump's inability to form a coherent or logical thought process. It's well known that he's got a short attention span and lacks intellectual discipline, in addition to possessing very poor analytical skills. Stop being a daft troll; everyone can see right through it.

  734. @mickeysmouse4800: The same can be said of Hancock, Truss, Cleverly, Kwarteng, Dorries, Coffey, etc. How people who hold, or held, some of the most important positions in public office can be so dim is truly baffling.

  744.  @Lucid.dreamer : Johnson is much, much worse than that.

  745.  @Lucid.dreamer  'Boris Johnson is a remarkable and admirable person.' Thanks for the laugh. Daftest thing I've heard in a long time. 🤣
    2
  746.  @Lucid.dreamer : Seems like you have some pretty strange opinions. Care to name some other people who you would describe as being 'remarkable' and 'admirable' who are also sociopathic compulsive liars, serial adulterers, have made homophobic and racist remarks and who are wholly unfit for the job they've been tasked to carry out?
    2
  747.  @Lucid.dreamer : You dispute that those accusations can be levelled against BoJo? He's a paragon of honesty, virtue, excellent work ethic, and moral rectitude? That must be why his own MPs have turned against him. 'You're the one with strange opinions.' Yet you've failed to back that up with a single shred of anything convincing. I've simply stated that Johnson was never suitable for public office because of his (known) myriad character flaws. That's not a remotely controversial claim. You, by contrast, have described him as 'admirable'.
    2
  748.  @Lucid.dreamer : 'I never, ever take a single word that remoaners utter at face value. I start with the presumption that they are lying.' Another gem taken from your own channel description. Hate to break it to you, but you are the one who was lied to with regard to the promises made during the Brexit campaign. Tragic.
    2
  749.  @Lucid.dreamer : Good. I certainly don't want someone who is an apologist for lies, corruption, and bigotry as a friend.
    2
  750.  @Lucid.dreamer : Yet you can't point to the hypocrisy you're accusing me of. You think truth only resides on the side of those who are advocates for Brexit. Do you realise how dumb that makes you look or are you genuinely oblivious?

  751. Chomsky is widely regarded as being a philosopher as well as a linguist.

  752. John Tyson: '...an enemy of the West and a pseudo-intellectual fraud, that's fine too.' No it's not. You're not seriously suggesting that Noam Chomsky is a pseudo-intellectual and an entirely dishonest one at that, are you? If this indeed your position, it's the height of absurdity (no matter what you think of his views).

  757. The electorate in Scotland do have the option of voting for the SNP during a general election; it's hardly a difficult concept to grasp. They won 48 out of 59 seats in 2019.

  758. @Dan G: Who would you rather listen to? BoJo?
    2
  759. With regard to the second part of your comment, I think it would be fair to say that the polar opposite is true. The discoveries brought about by the application of the scientific method has severely crippled the necessity for belief in supernatural metaphysical entities. What does evidence have to do with god anyway? If one is religiously inclined, evidence should be subordinated to faith and belief.
    2
  760.  @appalachiahiker853 : 'Even the Big Bang is fine tuned which proves Intelligence behind.' It proves nothing of the sort - that's just your own religious faith, not an empirical scientific position. What forces were responsible for creating the God that you believe in anyway? Did your deity not have a creator? If so, you run into an infinite regress argument leading to a belief in an omnipotent god not being helpful for explaining anything we see in the natural world.

    2
  772.  @Pablo-ts2ux : Trump could still be impeached even if he hasn't broken any laws so I wouldn't place too much emphasis on that. That's not to say that he might not have violated any; the charge being that he may have broken campaign finance laws. It will be up to lawmakers to interpret ''value'' given that those in favour of impeachment claim, ''There are specific campaign laws which prohibit any US citizen, whether it be the president or otherwise, from receiving a benefit or a value from a foreign party.''

  774.  @jamiejones642 : Complete and utter nonsense.

  775.  @Paul_Davies : Your initial comment smacks of trolling and even after attempting to back up your post by bizarrely claiming that GB News is more representative of most people's views in the UK, you still don't sound like you've got a clue. I do watch both channels so your echo chamber argument is moot. GB News is a populist, right-wing outlet that panders to prejudice. You seriously think that they would do a better job of challenging the establishment compared to Novara? You must be living on a different planet. Channels like Novara and PoliticsJOE have been doing a much better job of representing the recent strike action than GB News ever will.

  776. What's so great about the union? It's already broken and the sooner Scotland gains independence the better.

  781. ​ @paulfitzgerald4823 : Yes, the OP is quite right to state that it was just a remark that was made (the best part of a decade ago) with no specific reference to a constitutional device that must be adhered to. You should try reading Scotland’s Future, Q&A 557 in full in order to understand the context surrounding the quote. If you do, you will soon realise that the comment you've responded to is absolutely correct to claim that, 'It was never made as a limiting condition about holding subsequent referenda.' This basic fact seems to have eluded you so one wonders exactly what credible point you're trying to make given that you've misrepresented the meaning of the text in question. It's utterly hilarious that unionists get so obsessed with this one line that doesn't really amount to anything. As for video clips, if we are going to do politics purely by what politicians say in an interview or a chat show then we might as well give up.
    2
  782.  @paulfitzgerald4823 : 'i have not read the whole document...' Well, I think that tells us everything we need to know with regard to the tripe you posted earlier. You are arguing from a position of ignorance if you are not willing to have all the relevant information at hand. And this is certainly not a matter of 'no consequence'; the fact is that Scotland is seeking to have a second independence referendum, and rightly so. Why are you so keen to stymie a perfectly reasonable democratic position considering the litany of damaging events we've seen over the past six years?
    2
  783.  @michaelbuick6995 : Both. Pro-independence parties continue to be elected in Scotland and it looks highly unlikely that this is about to change any time soon so the issue is not going to magically disappear (as much as you might like it to). Another referendum is inevitable at some point.
    2
  784.  @psmanici4 : True.

    2
  789.  @waynekerrr9027 : There's your answer then. Why bother posting a daft comment about expecting to better your pay/working conditions if you're not even willing to join a union? Change isn't going to happen if just one person decides not to work.

  815.  @ozzie2612 : That Labour under their current guise do not represent those with socialist views. Starmer has proven himself to be yet another a dishonest neo-liberal. It was hardly a difficult comment to understand.
    2
  816. The anti-science brigade are out in force on social media. Pathetic, really.
    2
  817.  @astroterf. : ''experimental rubbish''? That's a strange way of stating ''I'm thick and don't understand anything about vaccines or science.'' Odd thing to admit to on a public forum.
    2

  849.  @petergordon4525 : The focus of the programme was not centred around whether the participants could be Prime Minister. It was billed as a 'Question Time Special Leaders' Debate'. This is a UK election and Scotland is a country (currently) in the UK so your comment stating that Sturgeon shouldn't have been included doesn't make sense.

  854. Troll.

  855. That's a strawman of materialism (not that anyone really uses that term anymore in philosophy; physicalism being more accurate) if ever I've seen one. No physicist seriously believes in a billiard ball model of fundamental particles. And calling science a religion only serves to highlight just how clueless you are about the state of contemporary physics in light of quantum mechanics.

  866. That sounds sensible. Not.
    2
  867. Sorry, but I simply refuse to believe that Stamer is a radical politician of the type described by PH. So far, there's simply no evidence to support that claim. Will he finally show his 'true' colours when he becomes PM? Again, highly doubtful.

  868. The US is the worst. That’s entirely uncontroversial.

  898.  @Woke_Invaders : Try quoting me accurately if you're going to put forward a valid counter-argument. I did not claim that ''all religious conservatives'' practice mutilation. I gave an example that demonstrates some do and have done so consistently throughout history. There are also more extreme examples of religious adherents practising emasculation. Religion poisons everything.

  903. ​ @paulcunnane4 : I'm well aware of Scotland's great contributions to political and intellectual thought; particularly during the Enlightenment. Why you would claim that we as a nation are the ''laughing stock of the world'' is bizarre to say the least. There are plenty of countries that are successfully vying for that title. And ''Wee Cranky''? Only trolls and morons use that tired insult. Who would you rather was the FM? And why are you happy with the status quo? Do you not think Scotland can do better than the mess that is Westminster politics?
    2
  904.  @paulcunnane4 : Oh, so you don't know the meaning of an ad hominem attack. In that case it doesn't surprise me that you're still struggling to answer my two simple questions. And if you really want to differentiate your argument (not that you seem to have one) so that it is directed solely at women, it would be spelled ad feminam, not feminem. At least get that right before telling someone to ''keep up''. Anyway, putting all that to one side, I'll give you another chance to dig yourself out of this hole: try to answer the questions I put to you above using your great intellect.
    2
  905. ''We've got a competent government.'' What can you say when faced with complete nonsense like that?

  914.  @kattengat2 : No, that just sounded like another irrational rant. It's not difficult to find out what the letters of the initialism LGBTI mean. It's an easy and quick way to reference a wide variety of non-hetero identities. No one is trying to ''take the whole alphabet''; that bizarre claim is a non-starter.

  917. I think you need to actually read his books in that case. Dawkins has provided many examples of the art and music that he admires.
    2
  918.  @boxtradums0073 : I really do sympathise with your concern; I also want to see independence as soon as possible. However, I do think you've slightly misrepresented Corbyn's position. Being a democratic socialist, he is not really against the people of Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland deciding their own future at all. He wanted a period in which he could implement Labour's policies at the time which doesn't seem like a crime to me. There are plenty of politicians who deserve to be ridiculed, but I don't think a decent person like Corbyn needs to be attacked yet again (particularly now when he is standing alongside working people which is more than can be said for Starmer).

    2
  929.  @telectronix1368 : There's nothing to admit to because I, like other commenters, are at a loss to explain why you would deem a post that reads, ''The amount of salty englishmen in the comments makes my day'' as racist. I've asked you five times to point out the use of racist language and you've not been able to. So, for the sixth time I'll ask you: which part of the post got your knickers in a twist? It's a very simple question.

    2
  951.  @scubasausage : You want to spit on those who educate our young people? What an ignorant, ill-informed response. Firstly, it is entirely wrong to state that ''many teachers (are) refusing to teach'' outright. Secondly, I can assure you that teachers do not want to teach remotely using online interfaces. Nothing can replace face-to-face teaching. Wanting to remain safe within the classroom is also a priority, however, and if the country is to have a proper lockdown (which we've not really had so far) to stop the uncontrollable spread of the virus, then unfortunately schools need to close. There are no easy answers here, but blaming teachers for government failings is not constructive in the slightest.

I've provided you with a list of over 20,000 false or deliberately misleading statements made by Trump and you still want me to name one? Are you incapable of reading too? If so, here's a simple example: ''The U.S. economy is doing very, very well.'' (Jun 20, 2020) The U.S. economy is currently in recession. Can you explain how Trump's claim is not false or misleading?

So the planet faces no problems whatsoever in terms of greenhouses gases contributing to rising sea levels, destruction of rainforests leading to desertification and soil erosion, unprecedented levels of pollution ruining our oceans, etc. Nothing to worry about at all; everything is absolutely fine. Good to know, thanks for your valuable input.
    2
  975.  @chicotthejester9341 : Because much of the infrastructure required to reduce carbon emissions by greater amounts simply isn't in place at present. There's a limit to what individuals can achieve while capitalism staggers on, destroying natural resources at unprecedented rates. To tackle the problems we face requires global government action. But yes, to give a further example, if my house can be heated in a more efficient way, I'll be happy to change that along with a whole host of other measures. Your 'argument' seems to rest on the fact that you only want to take notice of information that fits your denialist worldview. That humans are contributing to global climate change is not remotely controversial. So yes, to answer your initial question, temperatures are set to increases for decades to come if no positive action is taken. That you seem to struggle to find this information is worrying to say the least.

    2
  990.  @una1085 : At this stage that is true, but when I made my initial comment I had the next general election in mind. Sadly I can quite easily imagine people voting for the Tories lead by Johnson because of his 'personality'.

  993.  @boeingseven6939 : I think the term you are looking for is hypothesis, not theory. In science, theories are the best explanations we have for understanding and explaining the natural world. They are grounded in facts, empirical evidence, and are subject to rigorous, repeatable experiments to test their validity. Theory is not synonymous with guesswork as it might be in everyday usage. If something is a theory forever a you put it, there's nothing wrong with that. An example might be evolution by natural selection. It looks highly unlikely that this explanation for the variation seen in living creatures will ever be falsified.

  1002. Claiming that ‘’death is normal’’ is a pathetically weak defence of the way the Tory government reacted to news that COVID was spreading to the UK. They could, and should, have done more to protect as many lives as possible. Moreover, comparing COVID to flu is a bizarre view to hold. They are not identical.

  1033.  @harry.flashman : And she has deliberately chosen to make things worse. It was obvious that cutting taxes for the wealthy and now further cutting spending on public services would not resolve anything. These Tories are sub human. Yet you'd rather side with these odious creatures (every comment you've posted so far has defended the disastrous Conservative governments we've been subjected to which is odd to say the least) than try and hold them to account.

    2
  1038. ​ Nath n : I'm being lazy by asking for scientific evidence? You're not really that stupid, are you? Judging from your comments so far, you've chosen to back the extraordinary claim that the vaccine causes humans to become infertile after being injected and I've asked for proof of this in the form of a research paper. Don't dodge the question; provide the proof.
    2
  1039.  @kazzykaioken8873 : What you ''truly beleive (sic)'' is irrelevant. I've asked for proof for the claim outlined above, not another conspiracy theory.
    2
  1040.  @frankpdunn : Putting the word vaccine in quotes doesn't constitute a credible argument against the extraordinary work of the scientists who enabled it to be developed in record time; it only serves to make you look like a moron.
    2
  1041. Still a Tory though.
    2
  1042.  @thecriticalthinkingchannel462 : It the rate at which it's being accelerated by human activity that is the problem. Is that a difficult concept to grasp? Higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere are known to be responsible for increases in global temperatures; the amount of CO2 emissions going up by over 400% since 1950. We're having an impact on the planet that is unsustainable and something needs to be done about it.
    2
  1043. @paul hoskin: Yes, troll.
    2
  1044. @jujutrini8412: One of the issues here is that when this kind of language is used, certain people will twist the meaning of a fairly innocuous description (‘not normal’) and conflate it with ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’ or ‘morally questionable’. That of course is incorrect and needs to be called out as it comes with a certain level of danger to those who identify as LGBTI+.

    2
  1049. His question at 2:26 is a perfectly reasonable one though. In what context can it possibly be right to claim, for example, that the holocaust did not happen? Or that homosexuals are disgusting and should be killed? Or that non-white people are sub-human? Trying to defend views of kind under the guise of free speech is absurd.
    2

  1052. No evidence for that whatsoever.
    2
  1053. 10:19: ''...and in that Edinburgh Agreement, the then Scottish First Minister...said that this would be a once in a lifetime, once in a generation referenda.'' That is simply not true. There is nothing in the document itself (signed in 2012) that states the referendum must only be a ''once in a generation event''. In fact, there's only one mention about timings and this referred to the fact that the vote can be held before the end of 2014. Amazing that Costa can get away with propagating lies, but I suppose it's hardly surprising. Typical deceitful Tory.
    2
  1054.  @playgroundbrawl : It very much looks like you do; hence the debate about independence. There's now a Conservative Unionist PM in charge who is an avid Brexiteer and he's promised to get the UK out of the EU by 3st October. Your voice is most definitely being heard with regard to the vote that took place in 2016. Looks like you'll get what you want (probably no deal judging by the way things are going).

  1060.  @leonmohan1708 : Neck feels better to play, companies who do good relic jobs (say Fender CS) tend to use better quality woods for their builds so relics tend to sound better, looks good...there are many reasons. Relics aren't 'dragged through a field' as I've seen some clueless people mention; it takes time to do it properly. More time invested during the making process = more expensive guitar.
    2
  1061.  @leonmohan1708 : You could of course do that, but it takes years for nitro to wear down and expose the wood underneath so most people are quite happy to cut out the waiting time. I know some people who have bought Custom Shop guitars that for one reason or another have had nitro applied that hasn't cured properly. Nothing worse than sticky lacquer on a neck. Just get rid of it from the area where your hand is in contact when playing. I don't feel like I've not properly bonded properly with my Strat because it has a medium relic job. The thing feels better to play than any non-relic'd guitar I've ever tried.
    2
  1062.  @leonmohan1708 : They do feel so much better. Try some out and you'll immediately notice the difference. Most people that knock relics have never even picked one up. The vintage guitars from the 50s and 60s that people love and that naturally accumulated wear over time took thirty years (or more) of playing look and feel the way they do. I, and many others, simply don't want to wait that long.

    2
  1069.  @tpower1912 : This isn't a bet though. All the empirical evidence points to the vaccines being a safe and effective way to stop the long term health problems that can arise as a result of contracting COVID. If you don't think anyone should be receiving vaccines, however, I'd like to hear your solution to the problems we face. I'm sure you must have some great ideas.
    2
  1070.  @slackdee : Yet another pathetic response from the serial bullshitter. You really seem to be struggling to come up with that evidence. No need to rely on YT or C4; a link to a reputable source will do.

  1071.  @slackdee : I'm still laughing at the phrase ''experimental gene therapy''. You really are as thick as two short planks.
    2
  1072.  @slackdee : Slackbrain strikes again. You know full well that there are no reputable sources of information that back up your DNA claim with scientific facts. That you think fact checking is a bad thing when social media is flooded with cretins like you is also utter laughable.

  1099.  @raphaelsainte-claire4861 : Yes, I have clearly said that I think he would do a better job than the current Conservative leader because of his honesty, his ability to answer questions directly, the fact that he comes from a working class background and can therefore sympathise with the needs of a larger percentage of the UK population, because of his views of tax reform, creating a fairer rail system that is not there there solely to extract profit for those at the top, etc. This not the same as saying that Lynch is definitely the best person alive in UK to be PM (which I have never claimed so your charge of me lying holds no water). The fact is that Lynch is not a politician so repeatedly throwing out the dumb line of ''which policies do you like the most'' isn't a useful means of questioning. I'm siding with general principles that the Tories clearly lack. And please stop liking your own comments; it's pathetic.
    2
  1100.  @raphaelsainte-claire4861 : No, you simply can't read properly. I have said that Lynch, according to what I look for in a leader, would be preferable to someone like Sunak. The only person who has lied is you; anyone looking through this thread can see that. And you've still failed to answer my earlier question. Instead of repeating drivel try formulating a coherent response.
    2
  1101.  @raphaelsainte-claire4861 : I'm convinced at this point that you are just being intentionally thick. Anyone reading my comments (apart from you because you're clearly a special case) would realise that stating Mick Lynch would be a better PM (something I've never denied) would also mean that the entire Tory cabinet would also need to be replaced in this hypothetical scenario. News flash: Mick Lynch is not a Conservative. The idea that he should lead the Tories is not one that I've seen anyone put forward *ever*. I want the Conservatives gone entirely just in case that small detail has bypassed your brain cell. The non-hypothetical scenario is that Sunak is going to be replaced come the next GE if polls are to be believed, and it looks like the new party in charge will be Labour. Is there a particular reason that you've failed to answer my question yet again? This is getting embarrassing.

  1123.  @edgarfriendly5321 : ''you wouldn't even know this situation was going on if it wasn't for the government.'' That's simply an outright lie. Try visiting a hospital and see what an intensive care ward looks like. Have you spoken to any NHS staff during the pandemic? Look at the situation in India. Look at the number of bodies being buried in Brazil. Throwing around daft lines like ''we're not tripping over bodies on the way to the shops'' only serves to highlight once again how disingenuous you're being about a very serious global problem. Try thinking beyond your own self-inflated sense of entitlement for once.

  1131.  @janruudschutrups9382 : Trump has consistently called for immigrants and migrants to be treated as second class citizens. On this topic he has stated, “This is an invasion of our Country and our Military is waiting for you!” when tweeting about Central American migrants in October 2018. He smirked when an audience member at a rally suggested that immigrants should be shot. Trump has also called asylum laws ''insane'' and ''ridiculous''. Contrary to the president's claims, there is mounting evidence to suggest that there is no correlation between immigration (even unauthorised immigrants) and high crime rates, even though Trump and the right like to perpetuate the myth that there is. The vast majority of people seeking asylum or migrating across borders cannot be said to be doing anything illegal yet Trump seems to think they are judging by his own words and the policies he's favoured.

Facebook's own enforcement of their Community Standards is woefully inadequate (I think the only objectionable content I've seen taken seriously and removed is that which promotes physical violence or hints at violent threats towards people). Racism, animal abuse, false information, homophobia, transphobia, etc all seem to get a free pass. It's just not good enough.

  1156. Tantallon Castle and some of the surrounding area where other features may be preserved underground is a scheduled monument meaning that it is legally protected. Causing damage (i.e. digging up the ground looking for ''treasure'') to the site and/or removing objects from the vicinity is against the law. Archaeologists and geophysicists can apply for consent to do work on scheduled sites and this is normally granted for geophysical surveys. In short, metal detecting on a site such as this is definitely not a good idea.

I was specifically asking about the sacrifices you were referring to that would make your current existence so awful that it's not worth bothering trying to tackle the climate crisis. What in particular do you think we can't give up in order to stop global temperatures rising, ecosystems collapsing, natural resources being depleted at an ever more rapid rate, etc?
    2
  1162.  @johnrussell3961 : You've still not mentioned what the sacrifices are that would make life ''not worth living''. Can you provide a few examples and explain why they are so awful compared to the disaster we're going to face as a species should we fail to tackle the problem quickly enough?
    2
  1163.  @zigzung5569 : Sounds like you are simply making excuses for out-of-touch multi-millionaires who feel they are entitled to make (awful) decisions on behalf of an electorate that they largely have nothing in common with. Why should this be viewed as normal?
    2
  1164.  @zigzung5569 : I'd be reasonably happy for the Green Party, or a radically reformed Labour Party to be in power post-independence in Scotland, yes. I've also also mentioned that I'd be in favour of voting reform across the country asap. In terms of policies that are more specific, seriously trying to make a transition to renewable energy sources, tackling the collapse of ecosystems, combating a culture based on greed and entirely unsustainable accumulation of capital, UBI to allow more people to be creative and not be exhausted from working dreadful, underpaid menial jobs would all be a good start. These are things that can take place (in Scotland at least) that the Conservatives don't even want to entertain.

Do try again if you think you can actually offer a serious suggestion as to how Boris Johnson is going to avoid breaking the law should he choose to leave with No Deal. It is quite evident that he hasn't got a clue what he's doing should an agreement not be forthcoming by the 31st October: He's put himself in an impossible situation.

  1198.  @Mark-xh8md : In what way is the OP wrong? They clearly have zero understanding of art history and are simply putting forward meaningless cliches that have an air of profundity about them in order to appeal to an equally ignorant set of the population. The earliest evidence we have of a creative mind engaging in mark-making (or what could now be referred to as art) is from 500,000 years ago. Moreover, the earliest drawing we have that was made by a human was found in Blombos Cave, South Africa and dates to 73,000 years before present. Abstraction is hard wired into us; it's how we see and make sense of the world. Attempting to discount it as some purely 'modern' invention that is inferior to say, classical realism, is ignorant and demonstrates no knowledge of human, and pre-human, history.

  1200.  @Mark-xh8md : They are for the very reasons I put forward in my last comment. Did you even read it because you've not bothered to respond to the content of the argument at all. Try again.
    2
  1201.  @Mark-xh8md : In that case you need a lesson on what conceptual art is. These ideas are hardly new; they've been around for well over 100 years but of course you're just too ignorant to realise that. Moreover, if something is created by an artist who has trained at an art institution and is subsequently exhibited in a gallery what else can it possibly be other than art? At least try to make some kind of sense.
    2
  1202. ​ @Mark-xh8md : You could try quoting me accurately if you want to be taken seriously. I said if something is made by a person who has studied art at university, if the sculpture, painting, drawing, video, installation, happening, etc has come from a long tradition of art-making (art does not exist in a vacuum after all), and if the work is then shown in a gallery or museum what can this thing possibly be referred to other than art? Is it physics? Geography? Meteorology? This is a direct question you have to answer so stop dodging it. Now, whether a particular piece of work is to your taste or not is separate matter and has no bearing on the context I've outlined above. Indeed, context is a very important term in relation to the discussion and was famously adopted by the APG in 1970; their central tenet being 'context is half the work'. The type of projects they embarked upon might not fit in to a traditional conception of art-making but they were still approaching placements as trained artists. And you can stop using the embarrassing cliche 'tHe EmpErOr's NeW ClotHes hurr durr'' as if you're making some profound observation. It only serves to make you look even more ignorant.
    2
  1203.  @Mark-xh8md : It is art though and you've presented absolutely nothing to demonstrate that it isn't other than 'I don't like it'. That's a claim based on personal taste, not whether something can be classed as art or not. Manzoni was an artist; he wasn't a physicist. You are simply ignorant of art history and the way it operates.
    2
  1204.  @Mark-xh8md : You've not presented any facts so the quote is irrelevant. If Manzoni's work is not art, what is it? Answer the question. Remember, we're looking for a rational, logical response, not ''I dislike this work personally so therefore I don't think it should be called art''. That's not good enough for the reasons you've been given about 100 times now.
    2
  1205.  @Calcearius : All have done better in recent years in what sense? The SNP have been in control of Scotland's devolved legislature since 2007; the electorate keep voting for them. The party just won a landslide at the last GE with 48 seats; Labour and the Tories were just about wiped out with 7 seats between them! The SNP aren't going away so a hollow accusation of the type you've put forward (calling them 'clowns') doesn't amount to anything.

  1212.  @user-iz9co4qf6z : ''She's a (sic) authoritarian so she wants us locked down.'' You're havering. Why would Sturgeon actively want Scotland to go into another lockdown if we don't need to? What benefit would there be? It certainly wouldn't make her more popular. And what party do you vote for that you think would be doing a better job at handling the COVID pandemic? The SNP are democratically elected so don't resort to more bullshit about them being 'authoritarian'.
    2
  1213.  @user-iz9co4qf6z : At least Scotland is taking a more cautious approach compared to BoJo the Clown which is probably the correct decision given the rapid spread of the Omicron variant. I simply don't buy your rather pathetic argument that this is all about political point scoring on Sturgeon's part. No politician in their right mind wants businesses to shut down in rapid succession or to drive the economy completely into the ground. That doesn't benefit anyone. I noticed you also dodged my question, but given your praise of the compulsive liar Johnson I think we can hazard a guess at your political leanings. Pretty embarrassing to admit to supporting the Tories given their repeated abject failures over the past decade.
    2
  1214.  @user-iz9co4qf6z : Well, given the Tory government's current lack of financial help towards protecting the hospitality sector, it's not surprising that businesses are struggling (as I mentioned in my previous comment). To repeat my earlier point: very, very few people want to see another lockdown. However, if the choice is between that and health services being completely unable to cope with COVID cases then it might be the only way to deal with the situation. Your claim that politicians want lockdowns for ''attention and media coverage'' is bizarre and ill-founded.

  1221. ​ @thstroyur : Oh dear, what a wholly predictable response from a moron who thinks that a mild defense of the scientific method and rejection of miracles/the supernatural must equate to scientism. Nothing I said is remotely controversial to anyone who is interested in factual claims or is trying to pose reasonable questions in an attempt to understand nature. For the record, I don't endorse scientism (although it must be said it is more sensible than anything you've presented); that's just your own warped interpretation of my previous comment. Again, just to repeat that point before you erroneously waffle on about it again: I do not think science is unlimited in its scope. Humans, by our very nature, have scope and limits. And no, if you really do believe that miracles can occur (let's stick with those of the Christian faith for now as obvious examples; virgin births, people rising from the dead after being tortured and killed, etc) that violate the laws of nature then you are not being rational, you are simply being untruthful. At least be honest so that we can have a somewhat sensible discussion. You have absolutely zero empirical evidence to support the existence of the supernatural. Indeed, if you adopt a faith-based view, you must accept the irrationality inherent within it (because you can't by definition present proof to back up the miracles mentioned above). As for metaphysics, this branch of philosophy can be naturalised and allied to physics and the special sciences. You seem to be ignorant of the work carried out by philosophers in this area. Try responding when you do have evidence to support your claims because so far you've presented absolutely nothing.

    2
  1272.  @11Kralle : It's not ''curious'' at all. The two words refer to different things and you've got them completely mixed up. You are incorrect but seem unable to admit that you've made a mistake. That, indeed, is rather odd.
    2
  1273.  @11Kralle : From the comments you have posted so far, it is clear that you have confused the two terms. You described neurosis as being akin to a 'serious illness'. While it is true that it can be difficult to live with symptoms of neurosis, as I have already pointed out, it is not as extreme as psychosis and is often manageable. It is this basic point that you still seem to be struggling to grasp.

  1274.  @11Kralle : There you go again, completely misusing the word even though the definition has been spelled out for you above. A large part of Mitchell's comedic shtick is playing on the concept of neurosis, not psychosis. Talk about willful ignorance. 🤦

  1303.  @duncanmcokiner4242 : 'Mate', while it is clear that Trump's message (hardly a tolerant or coherent one) does appeal to some acolytes who attend his rallies—because it is conversational in style, includes the use of simple repeated phrases, and plays on emotion rather than complex ideas—others have noted that they've been completely baffled listening to him speak in a public setting. Even his tweets have confused millions; making up/misspelling words and then having his staff try to defend the indefensible. Remember covfefe? Can you tell me what that means? Staff at the White House have claimed to know. Have you read Trump's letter to Pelosi regarding his impeachment? Six pages of bizarre ranting, and the chances are very high that he didn't even have the attention span or vocabulary necessary to write most of it himself, instead using a ghost writer as he's done with his books. It has been noted by several professional linguists that Trump's speech patterns are in fact indicative of poor intellect, narcissism, and a lack of analytical skills. Not great for someone in his position. Trump appeals to the media precisely because he is not very intelligent. They have a field day trying to decipher his odd speeches and weird mannerisms. It's a freak show. He certainly has some sort of charisma, but claiming that he 'plays the media' isn't accurate. And do you really want to go down the route of arguing for Trump's 'successful' businesses? His many disastrous business ventures are well documented.

  1312. That can happen in any line of work so I'm not sure singling out two railway workers and then trying to make a general point about the state of railways (and, presumably, why more privatisation, staff cuts, poorer working conditions, etc are needed to 'remedy' the problem) from that rather weak starting point is of much help. The fact is that many people who operate the rail network are underpaid and overworked just as working class people are in many other sectors. Railways need more money and TOCs need to listen to the worries of those that keep them running. Simply viewing it as a profit making exercise is doomed to failure: this has been known for decades.

  1324.  @PraxisAbraxis : With regard to the first two paragraphs of your comment, if university study and its associated academic structure is so bad (why anyone would seriously entertain this notion is beyond me; it simply smacks of a fear of knowledge and experts which is a bizarre position to adopt say the least) why is Cremo so keen to associate himself with many professional organisations such as the Philosophy of Science Society, the History of Science Society, the European Association of Archaeologists, etc when many of these institution have published findings that contradict Cremo? The answer: He's desperate to give his crackpot ideas credence and make them look legitimate even though he has no educational training in the field of science or archaeology whatsoever. It's so transparent as to be utterly laughable yet the conspiracy theorists still lap this shit up.

Have you forgotten about the myriad scandals that emerged as a result of them not being able to follow their own rules? Or their slowness to react in the first instance because they thought the disease was not worth taking seriously? On top of that there were dodgy PPE deals, unnecessary deaths (the highest number of COVID-related deaths in Europe), a failed test and trace system...the list goes on. Labour could almost certainly have done a better job.

Putting that to one side for a moment (because Brexit has been devastating for many in the UK), try answering the question I asked. If voting to leave was such a great thing, give us a list of some of benefits that we should expect to see as a result of leaving the European Union. No dodging the question this time.

  1392.  @asyouwere553 : It's got nothing to do with being anti-democratic; that's simply a line trotted out by those who are fearful of people actually being rational and changing their minds as new information is gleaned and political circumstances change. Reality isn't fixed; it alters and we should adapt to it. The Brexit fiasco is the change of circumstances that the SNP said would lead to another vote on independence. Most people in Scotland want to remain part of the EU; are you going to blame the SNP for that? It seems quite right that the SNP are standing up for Scotland in that regard against the 'let's get Brexit done whatever the cost' attitude of the Conservatives. It remains to be seen whether the majority of voters will back independence when another vote takes place, but I think it's looking increasingly likely. The bottom line is this: The SNP will do very well at the next election and their position will be even stronger in Scotland. Get used to it.
    2
  1393.  @asyouwere553 : Your pinning your hopes on the results of one poll? Great, that's the issue settled then. No more discussion needed. And yet you accuse others of being anti-democratic? The SNP are the largest political party in Scotland, the third biggest in the UK, the third largest in the House of Commons, and yet you seem to want to write them off completely. They do a far better job of representing the people of Scotland compared to any other party in the UK and the electorate keep voting for them so they must be doing something right. Why don't you just admit that you're an angry Brexiteer who is in the minority with regard to attitudes towards the EU in Scotland. That's the crux of this discussion.

If you believe any of that nonsense (radical values, that he is somehow a figurehead for socialism) then you must be extremely gullible.

    2
  1469. ​ @johntaylor4084 : We're not going to agree because you're viewing the arguments from the perspective of someone who lives in England and who is a staunch Brexiteer. Scotland was promised that it would remain part of the EU if we voted No in 2014. That clearly has not been honoured so the SNP quite rightly have pushed for independence again due to the change in circumstances that has been brought about by Brexit. Reality changes; it's not a fixed set of interactions - particularly not in politics. To act as if a vote five years ago should have the same democratic weight behind it when so much has altered seems like a pretty weak position to adopt. It's clear that the Union is not working when the Scottish electorate vote for a vision that is diametrically opposed to Conservative ideology. Moreover, Sturgeon has made no claim to 'speak for all Scots.' That's a complete lie. In her post-election speech Sturgeon acknowledged that some SNP voters may not be ready for independence yet. That's fine; more work still needs to be done to convince people. One thing is for certain though: You definitely will not get a say in the matter of Scottish independence, so the oft-repeated line of 'let England decide and we'll tell you what we think' (a truly bizarre thing to say) trotted out by insular anti-EU voters is irrelevant.

    2
  1475. ​ @Confucius_76 : Why limit the discussion to western culture only? That's an odd move that doesn't really strengthen your argument in any way. All it does is place Christianity on an unnecessary pedestal (something that you seem extremely keen to do for some strange reason). My argument does cover humanity. I'm glad you've finally admitted that society does not need religion to act in an ethical way though; took you long enough. As for your other point, that we need to cherry pick the good parts of the Bible when looking at morality only goes to demonstrate that there must be pre-existent ethical ideas that do not require religious belief in order for them to exist. In case it wasn't obvious by now, I dislike PH's religious beliefs because they are smuggled in under the guise of rationality when they are anything but. By definition they are founded on faith and non-evidence based thinking which I think should be condemned. If someone really thinks that their life is meaningless (as PH does) and not worth continuing without a god, that's pretty tragic; I would hardly call this viewpoint a paragon of rationality. And no, clearly I've got absolutely no morals. That's why I run around murdering people indiscriminately on a daily basis, as well as torturing animals, and stealing property that doesn't belong to me. If only I had a divine creator to persuade me not to carry out these awful acts. Any other daft questions you want to ask?
    2
  1476. That's far too strong a claim about the view(s) adopted my most panpsychists. It's unclear what they even mean by everything having some sort of awareness, or proto-consciousness (how this background level of consciousness could even be detected by science is dubious to say the least given their own arguments against the limits of the discipline; that we cannot know anything about the intrinsic properties of matter using current physics) and I can't think of any that endorse a view that states that electrons and other fundamental particles actually have the mental capacity sufficient to experience pain.

The forces that drop the buckets and swing the arm would have caused the treb to rock, roll and possible trip over. Trebs on wheels is another Hollywood fantasy.'' As others have already mentioned this is simply not true and should be amended. There are examples of medieval illustrations showing trebuchets with wheels and modern examples have been constructed that show this design feature to be very beneficial. Contrary to what you mentioned, trebuchets with wheels do not become ''unstable'' or shake themselves apart; the opposite is the case. They in fact help the machine become more efficient at capturing gravitational potential energy. See the NOVA Secrets of Lost Empires documentary titled 'Medieval Siege' (15 mins into the programme) for more on this.

  1513. 'Your nitpick regarding having a degree is completely pointless. What makes you an expert is your practice and the recognition of your contributions by your peers, not a piece of paper.' InXLsisDeo does have a point. You are splitting hairs unnecessarily. I can understand your side of the argument (of course, most philosophers have studied the subject at university level), but Chomsky has made contributions to philosophy of mind, even if it is indirect (i.e. through his work in linguistics). In addition to this, he has engaged with some of the most important philosophers of the 20th century so I think Chomsky knows how to do analytic philosophy (as well as understanding the history to a great degree). I don't think it's wrong to say that Chomsky knows how to approach the subject with academic rigour. That's hardly contentious, is it?

Your assertion that discoveries made by science necessitate belief in the divine is absurd. While science cannot prove the existence of a being (there is nothing to test) with attributes posited by people of a religious faith, the creation stories put forward in the Bible can, with some certainty, be put to one side as myth in light of empirical study. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with myths and stories, just that they should be acknowledged as such. If you want to take them literally, go ahead. '...atheist morons'? That really adds credibility to your argument!
    1
  1536.  @appalachiahiker853 : According to our best scientific understanding, the Big Bang was respsible for the observable universe coming into existence so your reason(s) for stating that 'early universe theories are fairy tales' while at the same time saying that we know for sure that the Big Bang was the beginning of time, subatomic particles, etc. is baffling to say the least. It does also seem odd that someone who professes to believe in God also places so much imporatnce on a scientific theory such as the Big Bang. Are the creation stories to be found in religious texts not good enough for you? God created humans, right?

I voted to remain in the EU and to get as far away from neoliberal, Conservative politics as possible. That choice seems even more pertinent today than it ever did.

As I've already mentioned, your judgement is clearly terrible if you thought someone who is a compulsive liar and has been sacked from multiple jobs, who exhibits psychopathic traits, who thinks rules don't apply to him, who cheats on his partners and who has made homophobic and racist remarks was the right man to be PM. Corbyn was smeared by the right wing press. He was seen as being too radical for those in positions of power, voters who don't know any better were sold scare stories relating to socialism, etc.
    1
  1578.  @davidedwards1476 : Not at all. If you think Corbyn is racist you have simply been suckered in by the tabloid press. There's no evidence of him being racist whatsoever. You, on the other hand, voted for someone who has made racist remarks. Not a good look. Try answering my previous question properly now instead of throwing out demonstrably false accusations.

  1579.  @davidedwards1476 : You claimed that Corbyn himself is an antisemite. I've responded stating quite clearly that there is no evidence of that. If you do have the evidence to the contrary, present it, otherwise you are just waffling nonsense. The fact of the matter is that supporters of the Conservative Party are far more likely to hold antisemitic views compared to Labour voters. But you don't seem to have an issue voting for someone who has made racist and homophobic remarks. Sad.

Ok, let's listen to the guy who thinks that Corbyn just ''sat on the fence'' with regard to all policy decisions (which I've already proved to be nonsense just by pointing out one simple pledge in the 2019 Labour manifesto) and who voted for a lying psychopath. You've obviously got astounding political judgment. Thanks for getting us into this mess.
    1
  1583.  @davidedwards1476 : I did. I provided evidence that shows Corbyn wanted to introduce a real living wage for more people in the UK but in your warped world this amounts to ''sitting on the fence'' and doing nothing to improve people's lives. You don't deal in facts, just general smears that you've picked up from the right wing press. And for the record, I didn't vote for Corbyn and I haven't voted for the Labour party for well over a decade.

  1601.  @aporiac1960 : Resorting to personal insults now? Clearly you don't have much in the way of argument if you need to throw around ad hominem attacks. The crux of the matter is this: you're simply being overly paranoid if you really think the police are going to suddenly going to break into your home and arrest you over a conversation you happen to be having at the dinner table. You've already made the exaggerated (nay completely false) claim that in Scotland there is a significant lack of freedom with regard to public speech. And yes, hate speech is well defined. To deny that speech can in any way be threatening or abusive is not a rational position to adopt. Words have consequences. Granted, this is a nuanced discussion and there are no easy answers to something as complex as intentionality, but arguing about the ontological existence of emotional states and their precise content isn't useful when considering laws that need a level of simplicity and clarity for them to be effective.

What is screwing up the planet more than anything is human greed, the insatiable appetite for economic growth (which is entirely unsustainable), and destruction of natural resources at unprecedented rates.

  1670.  @astroterf. : Given that you've simply dismissed COVID vaccines as ''experimental rubbish'' I'm going to hazard a guess that you don't have a background in virology (or any other field of medical science for that matter). Remind us who is ''transparent'' again? And what is your strange obsession with mainstream media? I don't base my medical decisions on information garnered from the BBC, Sky, etc. You seem very keen on attacking a strawman that would have me do just that though. I try to read as many medical journal articles as possible to keep up-to-date with empirical data pertaining to COVID. I've not seen a single study state that the vaccines are ''rubbish'' and should not be taken under any circumstances so one has to wonder exactly what your sources are.
    1
  1671.  @astroterf. : You are using overly hysterical language (''pumped full of rubbish'') when the empirical evidence clearly shows that side effects from COVID vaccines are very rare (just as they are for other vaccinations and most types of medication). To give a concrete example, for 4,041,396 Moderna vaccine shots given in December 2020 and January 2021, only ten cases of more severe reactions were noted. Given this, why are you demonstrating such extreme levels of paranoia? This is not how a rational person thinks about the available scientific data. People have been receiving COVID jabs for well over a year now; the technology used in them has been well documented since the 1980s. You need to calm down and stop spreading nonsense online; your arguments just aren't helpful in any way.
    1
  1672.  @astroterf. : You obviously have little understanding of how vaccines technology works in practice hence the strange paranoia. As for the first point, I really don't care if you want to label COVID vaccines as ''experimental''. It just doesn't matter given the empirical data we have at this point (surprise, surprise, you in no way refuted the numbers I provided). Let's take a step back and think through your argument - and I'm being extremely charitable by referring to it as such - so far: you've called jabs that are safe and effective ''rubbish'' (and by implication something that should be avoided by the public at all costs) because ten years haven't elapsed since their initial development. Really? That's your trump card? Again, this is not rational given the global epidemic we find ourselves in. Each of the vaccines currently being administered in the UK have passed rigorous phase 3 clinical trials (two years after the initial doses were given; no safety concerns have been raised). In these trials, they were tested on tens of thousands of people and have been proven to be safe. You can read more about this on the bhf website. Your analogy with lottery numbers is irrelevant and demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge of basic philosophy of science. An obvious question follows from all this: if vaccines are, in your view, harmful and are not an essential part of the equation in helping to tackle the virus and its myriad variations, what is your great alternative? You are surely not making a case for no medical intervention whatsoever for 10-15 years because that would be catastrophic.
    1
  1673.  @astroterf. : I think I've made it very clear that I do object to the word ''rubbish'' being used in this context. I have pointed this out many times in previous comments but you seem intent to ignore this fact and continue with your bone-headed assertions (i.e. sniping from the sidelines without offering any alternatives to the action that has taken place). Trials have been rigorous and are ongoing in the development of new and existing vaccines. This isn't the black and white, either/or situation you've made it out to be. I'm glad you've finally admitted that you would have taken the awful route of no medical intervention at all during the pandemic. Thousands more dying and hospitals in even worse states would have been the result of this (the UK's COVID-related death rate compared to other EU countries as it is is really not good) and you think that is preferable to a safe and effective vaccination programme? You are pretty much admitting that you are insane at this point. Come back when you are satisfied that enough time has elapsed for you to acknowledge what most people already know about the efficacy of mRNA vaccines. I've been in debates with crazed conspiracy theorists since nonsense started spreading online who have claimed that everyone who has received a vaccine will suddenly drop dead within a year and half or so. Has that turned out to be the case? No. You're an anti-vaxxer; we get it. You're on the wrong side of the argument, it's as simple as that.
    1
  1674. ​ @astroterf. : All you've done in this comment section is rail against vaccinations so the conclusion I'm sure most people will draw is that you're an anti-vaxxer. Either that, or, as I've already mentioned, you've been sucked into some strange paranoid mindset with regard to COVID jabs. It's one or the other: you choose.

    1
  1680.  @playerone9824 : I'm afraid your comment didn't hint at any kind of serious point at all, even if that was your intention. Independence is not about putting up insurmountable barriers and cutting Scotland off from the rest of the world (that approach to politics is what England favoured when it voted for Brexit) or ''running away'' from problems: the opposite is in fact the case as I've already mentioned. As for your bizarre dismissal that independence is a ''shit idea'', what is this based on exactly? Has it really been so incredibly awful for other similar sized independent countries like Norway, Sweden, or Denmark? Do they feel that they must merge with neighbouring countries in order to have some kind of worth? No. To take just one example of a progressive policy measure that the SNP are in favour of, Scotland has a very bright future in terms of renewable energy and this is something that every country on the planet is going to have to take a lot more seriously in future when fossil fuels simply can't be relied upon any more. England isn't doing enough to address this (thinking that fracking is a better idea) so why shouldn't Scotland take a different, more sustainable path? Lastly, I completely disagree with the idea that the Scottish independence movement is based on a ''few years'' of Tory governments at Westminster. This is an issue that goes back decades (1955). For the sake of this argument though, try twelve years; that's when Cameron and Osborne implemented their austerity plans. The SNP have always opposed this. Even if Labour do win the next GE (which looks somewhat likely at the moment), after a few years voters in England will tire of them and switch back to the Conservatives and the whole saga will trundle on indefinitely. Also bear in mind that Stamer has said that he will not work with the SNP to deliver any kind of progressive alliance in future. How is that helpful to Scotland? If you want the idea of independence to vanish you're going to need to come up with solutions to these fundamental problems. Tell us how this supposed 'unions of equals' can be made better in its current state because I can't see anything changing south of the border.

  1733. ​ @debbylou5729 It made perfect sense; learn to read. It's funny how everyone who has responded to your bizarre comments so far thinks you're a complete plank. Are you just trolling or are you genuinely a bit dim? Please tell us it's the former.

  1734.  @debbylou5729 : I've not put forward any opinions, just the fact that dowsing is complete and utter bs.
    1
  1735.  @debbylou5729 : Go on then; provide us with a few facts and scientific evidence that shows dowsing is not pseudoscience. This should be interesting.
    1
  1736.  @debbylou5729 : That wasn't anything approaching a sensible answer either. At this point I'm just going to assume that you're either severely lacking in the brain cell department, or a troll who is trying to provoke people for no good reason. You can choose which one applies to you. Any sensible person who really did have empirical evidence to support dowsing would have provided it by now instead of going off on extremely odd, nonsensical tangents. You are the one putting forward extraordinary claims, therefore you need to provide extraordinary evidence to back these up. That's how we advance our knowledge of the natural world. Anything that doesn't hold up to rigorous scrutiny is rightly dismissed. It is not ridiculous to ask for evidence as you've suggested. The very opposite is the case. And to complain that you're being 'bullied' while proclaiming that there's an invisible ufo at the bottom of your garden yet when pushed, don't want to provide any evidence for said ufo is utterly laughable. That is essentially all you've done so far.

  1745.  Albert Pike : Please do feel free to post a few comments here that clearly show the hate for the English that you've experienced online. I've just seen dislike of conservative political ideology, the broken Westminster system, and incompetent Oxbridge politicians who really have nothing in common with working people. The SNP's message is not about hating English people but if that kind of rhetoric sits more comfortably with your pathetically simple outlook, fine.

  1753.  @DaBIONICLEFan : Look at polls conducted this year. The Ipsos MORI poll from February had support for independence at 50%, no at 43% and undecided at 6%. This is not a clear cut as you are suggesting and most experts think the result would be too close to call.

    1

  1796.  @user-qt1le6ih6i : And all those who have not been harmed by NHS treatment? Do we just ignore them altogether and stick to your paranoid worldview and bizarre claim that the vaccines are a threat and were developed by politicians for some shady purpose (hint: they weren't).

    1
  1809.  @jbee9713 : Yes, we have some of the most expensive rail fares in Europe and prices are going to rise yet again. This is hardly the fault of ticket inspectors, cleaners and maintenance workers though. They just want to be able to afford spiralling food and energy prices. Instead of blaming working class people for everything try looking at the profits that are being made at the top. That is really what needs to change.

  1817. Good. Doesn't mean that there is anything inherently wrong with buying a guitar with less finish on it off the shelf though; they often feel nicer to the touch (particularly the back of the neck). A lot of people argue that they sound more 'open' too.

  1892.  @abdurrazaak : I certainly do mock your belief in allah or any other god for that matter. Your religion is a poison.
    1
  1893.  @28-r8b : Nothing wrong with appreciating the cultural importance of Christianity and the role is has played in shaping history. Historians deal with this question all the time. I love church architecture, religious music, visual art, etc but none of these things (created by humans) for one moment suggest that supernatural beings exist or that the kinds of miracles described by Christianity are real. The importance of religion in this sense is most definitely declining as people become more scientifically literate and adopt a naturalist ontology.

  1925.  @paulhart1218 : It would be better if the calibre of people who aspired to be PM was much higher, not the likes of BoJo, Truss, Sunak, etc that we've had to endure for far too long. Mordaunt would've been terrible too.

  1937.  @ep5019 : It's an entirely valid response. If you want to get rid of a political party then surely one must have some kind of alternative in mind. What is not an argument is 'anyone but the SNP'. Be specific if you want to be taken seriously. Moreover, suggesting that a party like the Tories would be preferable is utterly laughable.

  1945.  @telectronix1368 : The same comment again? Are you suffering from amnesia? Explain which part of the OP was racist or we can just assume you're a daft troll.
    1
  1946.  @telectronix1368 : That made no sense whatsoever. You do realise this is a public forum and everyone can see that you're making an arse of yourself? For the seventh time: What was the issue? The word Englishmen? If so, that's not remotely racist. Likewise, calling someone a Scotsman is not racist. Type out the part of the comment that was racist or admit that you used the word incorrectly.

  1949.  @telectronix1368 : Clearly there is as you became defensive immediately upon being questioned (''don't try that one...''). Not exactly a sign of someone who has confidence in their argument. I've asked you multiple times whether it was calling someone salty that was racist... no response. I've asked you whether it was the word Englishmen...no response. That doesn't exactly leave much left. Just pathetic ducking and diving on your part. I suppose my very first comment was correct and that you're just a bit dim.

  1951.  @telectronix1368 : Keep digging that hole for yourself. I've asked you one question from the outset: which part of the original comment that you responded to was racist? I've even tried asking about specific terms (really there's only two: salty and englishmen) to help pin down the accusation and what have I got back in terms of reasonable explanation? Nothing. Conclusion? There was nothing racist about the post. You thought you were being clever but in fact you've been caught out as a lying, reactionary moron.

  1976.  @agedcorsair6707 : Again, no one is saying that you must go to university to learn the fundamental skills in question. As the discussion in the video points out, however, for a lot of young people who have just left secondary education and have never lived away from home before, university will be their first taste of independent living, research, developing their own ontology, etc. Your initial comment simply makes you sound overly defensive and as though you have an inferiority complex. As for your last point, the fact that many universities have become a marketplace in which students are treated as a commodity is wrong and must be reversed, but think you are overstating the point that no level of higher understanding or critical thinking is being developed in academic institutions. That's simply not the case at all.

  1986.  @zenmasteruzz2566 : So what? Nothing you've said invalidates the use of vaccines to stop, or limit, side effects experienced should someone contract COVID. Moreover, no one argued that everyone who gets the virus will end up dead: that's a ridiculous line of argumentation as well. What other areas of science do you choose to dismiss? Evolution by natural selection? Quantum mechanics?

  2040. ​ @chicotthejester9341 : You most certainly do, that much is self evident. And this discussion has nothing to do with my personal views; those are irrelevant in terms of the science surrounding human-induced global warming. I always try to engage with as many different arguments as possible (hence why I'm replying to comments made by climate change denier) so your accusation doesn't wash. What the other side believes - no matter how crazy - is always good to know. With regard to this particular issue however, you're simply wrong. If you want to link me to a peer-reviewed scientific paper written by a climatologist who is part of the tiny (and I really do mean tiny) minority who denies the impact of human activity on temperature rises then by all means post it here. It's going to have to be pretty convincing when no scientific body of either national or international importance disagrees with current published research and predictions of further warming spanning the next one hundred years or so.

    1
  2050.  @user-ug8wx5er1w : We've got years of data to draw upon: mRNA technology has been around for decades. It's not some new thing that was dreamt up to tackle COVID. Moreover, all medical treatments can result in side effects. Why are you not rallying against anti-depressant drugs, for example? For the vast majority of people COVID jab side effects last only 2-3 days and are very minor (slight temperature, etc). You seem to be scared of the statistically miniscule chance of something more extreme happening which is a very odd view to take. So yes, my point still stands; you are overly paranoid for no good reason at all.

  2059. @deborahw.a.foulkes6059: Baffling, I agree. Equally, that fact that we simply cannot keep relying on economic growth to solve all our political problems because it is the very thing that is leading to the collapse of ecosystems and the environment around us that we need to survive.

  2096. 37:08: Great to hear this discussion taking place. Monbiot is absolutely correct; we should be aiming for zero economic growth for the simple reason that perpetual accumulation of capital at the cost of depleting natural resources (and, by extension, destroying fragile ecosystems) is entirely unsustainable. Degrowth should not be viewed as some kind of 'radical', or 'impossible' idea - it's a necessity if we want to keep living on a planet that is conducive to our wellbeing. Unfortunately, we seem to be set on a path of greed and complete denial centred around the impossible notion of endless growth. David Harvey is another excellent voice on this topic.

The threshold for a family group of four, including two children, was US$26,200, about $72 per day.[73] According to the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2018 One-year Estimates, 13.1% of Americans lived below the poverty line.''

With regard to your last point, that's exactly what I stated a couple of comments back: the elite, the establishment, those with the most to lose are destroying the planet. Do keep up.

  2163. ​ @andyforshaw8489 : Of course. I am referring to primarily to England though (and, to some extent, Wales with regard to Brexit). Scottish politics is different. You're not seriously going to attempt to provide us with a eulogy of why Brexit and the Conservative party have been great for the UK, are you? If so, this should be a laugh. Anyway, you've already proved yourself to be a populist, covert right-winger so it isn't at all surprising you disagree.

You seem to have completely ignored the evidence that shows that increases in CO2 emissions lead to temperature rises. That's what we're talking about here, not plastic in the sea, etc. (Although these are of course very important environmental issues that need to be addressed urgently as well.) And yes, I'm perfectly aware of what a scientific theory is (the type of theory we should be discussing considering the evidence from climate science). When one uses the phrase conspiracy theorist, they are not referring to the term theory as it used in the domain of the sciences, but rather the colloquial meaning of the word: something that is based on conjecture and speculation.

There's no such thing as 'just getting Brexit done', or a 'clean break Brexit'; that's just a soundbite put forward by the Brexit Party and others in the Conservative ranks. The GE will also not resolve Brexit - the debates will continue in much the same way for years. You're going to be hearing about Brexit and its repercussions well beyond 2020.

  2201.  @bradcraig2978 : You've missed the point yet again. Nobody was ''...putting down the general working man...'', it was simply a matter of pointing out that if someone has an educational background in music and has made a living from it for years, they should not suddenly be forced to completely alter their profession. And yes, it is up to governments to support the creative industries at the moment due to the loss of income experienced. The UK has been very poor in this regard compared to other European countries.
    1
  2202.  @bradcraig2978 : I won't even bother with your first point because it's completely nonsensical. ''The government has done more than enough keeping us all fed and sheltered for two months.'' Could you be any more of a bootlicking Tory apologist if you tried? The government certainly hasn't done enough to counteract the effects of the pandemic by way of financial aid. There's been next to no help for the self employed throughout lockdown. Other countries (Germany for example) have supported the creative and cultural industries properly; in comparison this government is wholly inept.

  2203. ​ @bradcraig2978 : ''(The Tories) just fumble around'' yet have done '''more than enough keeping people fed and sheltered''? Mixed messages there.

  2226. How can the SNP possibly be labelled 'far right' when they are social democratic-party? Historically they've been pretty centrist with regard to their ideology; more recently more to the left of centre.

  2228.  @Damien81ful : Are you referring to the stone carving that is located at the Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia? Or did you have a specific Indian temple in mind? Vittala Temple, perhaps? Either way, these carvings (not actual fossil remains as you hinted at) don't provide any evidence whatsoever that humans coexisted with dinosaurs several centuries ago. Why anyone would leap to such a conclusion when multiple other (far more sensible) explanations are easily available is baffling. Ever heard of Occam's razor? Or science for that matter?
    1
  2229.  @Damien81ful : They could quite easily be another animal that was known to the temple builders. A rhino has been suggested; the shapes that appear to be across the top of the animal seem to be leaves or just extra stylistic detail added by the craftsperson who made it. It's also thought that they might be much later fakes or forgeries which is highly likely. Seeing a couple of carvings (lacking in a lot of detail, it has to be said) and immediately leaping to the conclusion that it's a dinosaur therefore humans and dinosaurs coexisted even though there's absolutely no evidence for this from the fossil record is not logical in any way.

  2230.  @Damien81ful : No idea how a blockbuster film franchise is relevant to this discussion. You seem to be conflating art with objective reality which isn't exactly a sensible comparison.

  2231.  @Damien81ful : The existence of money has no bearing on whether or not human and dinosaur fossils in the geological record are of the same date. As it happens, they are categorically not. You may as well say that the sun doesn't exist because people have money. It's nonsensical.
    1
  2232.  @Damien81ful : That's simply not happening in this case. Or any other major theory I can think of in science for that matter. The archaeological evidence of dinosaur fossils and fragments discovered of our early human ancestors do not overlap at all.
    1
  2233.  @Damien81ful : You really are a paranoid conspiracy theorist. What are educated people who have studied science and history supposed to teach based on the evidence that we have available to us? That planet earth is 6000 years old? That humans and dinosaurs coexisted? That ancient aliens built the pyramids? That the moon is hollow, etc, etc? That sounds rational. Let's all believe nonsense. Great!

  2243.  @elcristoph7380 : Ah, so you're not willing to defend the bullshit claims put forward by the conspirxacy theory crowd? You just cherry pick certain vague things retrospectively based on your own anti-government worldview. The information that has spread online by these morons has, unfortunately, had an impact upon the way people view vaccines, scientific research, and truth more generally. Just be honest and say that instead of trying to defend the indefensible. Again, I'm more than happy to give you a list of bizarre claims that have turned out to be complete and utter nonsense, hence why it's entirely correct to state that the tinfoil hat brigade have not ''got everything right'' or ''been right all along'' as I've seen in many comment sections.

As I've already mentioned, bringing up nazism is completely unwarranted and entirely unhelpful to any argument you want to make. If Scotland gains independence, we have the choice of choosing new political parties based on new ideals. The whole point is not to rely on other countries to dictate our future to us. Given this, your line about the SNP ruining the economy and this leading to fervently hostile attitudes towards the English is equally confusing as your stance about Scotland somehow not being peaceful enough. In essence, it sounds like you want Scotland to be quiet and put up with the status quo. Those days are numbered.

  2249. Facepalm Scientific theories are based on facts. Evolution is the best theory we have to explain the diversity of life on Earth. Leo Alexander explained why your definition of the term theory in a scientific context is entirely misguided and you respond by stating '...when we talk about evolution, we are still talking about a theory. That's all.' The sheer stupidity hurts. Do you deny the existence of gravity too because it's merely a 'theory'?
    1
  2250.  @macioluko9484 : I quoted you; I certainly didn't put words in your mouth. If you don't deny that evolution is based on evidence, facts, is testable, can be observed, etc. (the very definition of a scientific theory), exactly what point are you trying to make by stating that 'it is a theory'? Your motivation is entirely unclear and as a result, has been questioned. Are you making a philosophical claim about the falsifiability of science? Do you think that a better theory can account for the diversity of life? If so, you must have some idea of what this new theory should be and have extremely strong evidence to back it up otherwise your comments so far are completely meaningless.
    1
  2251.  @macioluko9484 : I have read your comments very carefully and found them to be misleading. Capitalising the word theory in your very first comment smacks of trying to bring well established science into disrepute. You've not really advance any point whatsoever; simply stated that it is important that people remember that evolution is a 'THEORY' when really you don't even seem to understand that within the domain of science a theory is as close to truth as we are ever likely to get as humans. Evolution by natural selection is entirely uncontroversial and only pseudoscientists or conspiracy theory crackpots question it to the extent that they believe it may be wrong. Certain details are argued over among philosophers of science, of course, but the general theory is sound. Moreover, you don't seem to be digging for any kind of 'full explanation' (you've not even mentioned what these 'very uncomfortable observations' might be), which is why I gave you the benefit of the doubt and asked whether you were trying to make a Popperian philosophical claim about claims only being scientific if they are falsifiable.

  2254.  @AlanWattResistance : You could easily pass the virus on to other people even if you are asymptomatic and who knows how it would impact upon someone else's life. That seems wholly irresponsible. Moreover, you really have no idea what the long- term health complications of contracting the disease are; getting the vaccine significantly reduces the likelihood of developing COVID-related issues later in life.
    1
  2255.  @AlanWattResistance : COVID-19 is not the same as influenza so I'm not sure how the comparison is even relevant. Your attitude is irresponsible for the reasons already pointed out my several commenters. You could be asymptomatic therefore stating that you have definitely ''never had the virus nor spread it to anyone'' is disingenuous. As J Andrews asked you, are you frequently testing yourself to know this for sure? And yes, if you class yourself as a member of a responsible society and come into contact with other people, you do have an obligation to stop the spread of a potentially very harmful disease.
    1
  2256.  @AlanWattResistance : No, that's your logic. I've had the vaccine therefore my chances of developing serious complications as a result of contracting the virus are now significantly reduced. You have not had any vaccination hence why I asked earlier if you'd rather live under a state of perpetual lockdown. If you get the disease, chances are that you are going to fare a lot worse than those who have been vaccinated. If that's the risk you want to take, fine. I'm quite happy to come into contact with people again knowing that both myself and others have been vaccinated. You seem to want it both ways; say no to any vaccines and lockdown measures. That's a recipe for disaster given the situation we find ourselves in.

  2257.  @AlanWattResistance : Once again you are flatly comparing COVID-19 with flu. This is just wrong for several reasons. COVID seems to spread more easily than flu. It also results in more severe illness and additional long-term complications for some people who catch the virus. There's also the fact that it can take longer for people who contract COVID to develop symptoms so it can be transferred to larger numbers without being aware the virus is present. One of the main reasons for the COVID vaccines is to slow the spread of the disease. Older people are of course encouraged to get vaccinations for both COVID and flu.

  2258.  @AlanWattResistance : I am concerned, hence why I've already mentioned that it looks like more of a risk not to get the vaccine. Plenty of people haven't had two shots yet so we are still in a precarious position. Again, if want to risk living with long-term health complications should you get the virus, that's totally up to you. I've made my choice based on the fact that I do want to get back to some kind of normality.

We have nurses using food banks, rail staff who can't afford basics such as being able to heat their homes, etc. Telling them to just go off and find other work is insulting. Instead of blaming the working classes try looking at the systems of power we have in place in this country. Destroying one's health for the sake of a job is not a smart move.

And no, you didn't have to do any work to ascertain that I said Lynch would be preferable to Sunak because that's exactly what I said. What I did not say, however, and this is what you've tied yourself in knots over, is that Lynch would be the best person possible to be PM out of all the options available. There's a difference. If you think Sunak is the best choice just because he is currently the PM then you are dumber than I first thought. Still rabbiting on about hypothetical policies? Sad. That's been covered.

Secondly, that human-made emissions (i.e. greenhouse gasses) from the burning of fossil fuels leads to increases in global temperatures is not ''nonsense'' and is acknowledged as being empirically sound by the vast majority of climate scientists. Only a few weirdos on the fringe think otherwise. Stating that the climate has ‘’always changed’’ is irrelevant to the discussion. Thirdly, your incorrect use of the word theory in this context shows you to be scientifically illiterate (no surprises there). A scientific theory is not synonymous with terms such as ‘guesswork’, ‘conjecture’, or something ‘unfounded’, rather theories are based on facts (data we have about the world), empirical knowledge, and rigorous, repeatable experiments. They are some of the best explanations we have about how the natural word works. The theory of anthropogenic climate change is sound and has predictive power, data, etc. on its side. Evolution by natural selection is also a scientific theory yet I don’t see you dismissing that. The question you have to ask yourself is why? What reasons do you have for rejecting something for which there is overwhelming evidence? Moreover, why are you choosing to argue from a position of complete ignorance?

  2377.  @jerrytaylor146 : My case? I'm not trying to pit railway staff against nurses. Or teachers against Royal Mail workers.

It isn't.

  2378.  @seanmallis8391 : Tough then. Don't join a union, don't have a say. Strength in numbers, after all. The RMT have a mandate for strikes for another 6 months: support is overwhelming (with a yes vote of 91.7%). Referring to industrial action for better pay and working conditions as a ''waste of time'' is downright insulting. As for it being a ''waste of money'', perhaps you should focus your attention on the bill the taxpayer is having to foot every time the government bails out these private rail operators. Your friend is simply on the wrong side of the argument but if he wants to side with this vile Tory government, fine.
    1
  2379.  @seanmallis8391 : ''Just someone trying to earn a living and being prevented doing so by others actions .'' Are you for real? That's exactly the reason why university staff, rail workers, Royal Mail employees, nurses, etc are on strike: they are trying to earn a living but are being prevented from doing so by others. Most are on low wages, some are in precarious roles (i.e. short term contracts), and many often don't feel safe at work while this Conservative government are stopping them from living in dignity (due to their inherent ideological stance which is to protect the wealthy). The fundamental point is this: unions exist to protect workers rights. If you continue to fail to understand this basic position then there's not really much more one can add.
    1
  2380. @Pol Fig: The RMT has repeatedly stated that this strike action should not be viewed as rail workers vs nurses, posties vs teachers, etc. The enough is enough campaign has been very inclusive and shown the importance of all working class people standing together. Having said that, what do you expect Lynch to do exactly? He has to stand up for his own members first and foremost.
    1
  2381.  @polfig7558 : The government should be thinking very carefully about the impact the strike action is having. Strikes, however, are supposed to cause disruption. That's how change is brought about (withdrawing labour) by people who have little to no power compared to corporations, etc.

This farcical government deserves to be bashed at every opportunity; it's a mess. The actions of the PM (proroguing of parliament) are being discussed in the Supreme Court: This is not normal territory. With regard to your last 'point', I've not stated that I believe everything the EU says; my initial comment focussed on the seemingly incompatible nature of Johnson saying he's going to leave the EU on October 31st when parliament has blocked him from doing so (should a deal not be agreed in time). You don't know how he's going to do this and it appears that Boris Johnson hasn't the foggiest either.

  2469.  @stephenisom6089 : No one in the UK ever voted for a No Deal Brexit; that option was never on the ballot paper.

A No Deal Brexit has nothing to do with following through on the democratic vote. Surely you understand that? Not being able to read? Making things up again, are you?

  2481.  @clivealdridge7468 : Well, that was certainly an incoherent ramble even by your low standards. Unionists are a myth? You heard it here first. Boris Johnson and the Conservatives want Scotland to be independent? Again, that will be surprising news to anyone who voted for the Tories. Conflating the EU with Westminster also demonstrates a complete lack of nuance and understanding of how these political entities function. Many MEPs have indicated that Scotland would be welcome a full member of the EU so your assertion otherwise is unfounded and weak. Every voter that returned an SNP seat in Scotland is a 'resentful malicious angry fat NED'? That's 1,242,000 Scottish people you've labelled in yet another offensive outburst. If the Scots wrote comments like that about the English we'd never hear the end of it.

Conceptualism is art. These movements have long established histories.

All councils are under severe budget pressures/cuts due to austerity measures introduced by the Conservatives. Voting for them wouldn't solve any of the issues we face. The SNP want to spend more on public services but can't. They are however doing their best to stand up for Scottish interests unlike most other parties.
    1
  2521. ​ @Calcearius : Where to start... The SNP, as far as I can see, have done nothing to instill an anti-English bias (or 'hatred') among Scottish voters. That's complete hyperbole not what independence is about at all. It's about trying to create a fairer society that more accurately reflects Scottish interests and voter attitudes compared to the Westminster system that still dictates to Scotland what it can and can't do. I don't think there's any truth to your claim that the SNP 'only get support because of their indy stance.' In fact, I think that's demonstrably false. Many people voted for the SNP at the last election but still need convincing to vote Yes in a future referendum. The SNP are over represented in Scotland? What kind of voting system would you like to see put in place? PR? If so, the SNP support introducing that despite doing well under the current arrangement. As for your point about education and EU nationals studying here, it looks like that's coming to an end. Brexit has stopped many prospective students from wanting to study at Scottish universities which is tragic. Who is to blame for that? The Tories. We need the best people to be studying here, but your claim that Scottish places are 'taken away' in favour of EU citizens is dubious at best. In fact, I can't find any evidence to support this. Please do feel free to provide a link to a credible source that shows otherwise though. Conflating independence with 'hatred' is just about the most bizarre attitude towards this issue that I've seen. It's perfectly normal for a country to be independent within the EU. If you're fine with successive Conservative governments being in power at Westminster, fine, just say so. The SNP are currently the only party (along with the Greens) who are offering a better choice for Scotland compared to the status quo. Independence puts forward the opportunity to have a truly social democratic stance towards politics in Scotland.

  2528.  @georgemasson5591 : If you don't want to get vaccinated that's fine, but you have to accept the consequences of that choice given that you live in a society and need to interact with other people.

  2552.  @silvereyes4931 : I've not mentioned whether socialism is good or bad, simply that your point about China is irrelevant. And once again you've made a blanket statement with no foundation in reality. China has many privately-owned firms which generate a substantial portion of the country's GDP. These firms are still able to make a profit. I think it's you who needs to do their homework, but that much was obvious from your initial comment. Suggesting that ''labour...is getting more socialist each day.'' by getting rid of the more more radical, left-leaning, members of the party is just about the most stupid thing I've read in a YT comments section recently.

  2570. For all Galloway’s supposed rationality and levelheadedness on the subject of Scottish Independence, he has painted himself into a rather absurdly idealistic corner when putting forward the notion that a ‘real Labour government’ is the only sensible option available to voters across the UK. Don’t get me wrong, I wish we did have a Labour Party that stood up for the most disadvantaged in society, but I can see no evidence that such a party would have a chance getting in to office (just look at Corbyn for a start). At least independence would bring about some kind of substantive change rather than more of the same (i.e Starmer’s Labour Party) for voters in Scotland.

  2572. Yes, that is something that is repeatedly brought up by those who view Johnson in a positive light: that he has a feel good factor about him that other political leaders in the UK lack. I just don’t get it. BoJo has a track record of lying, being manipulative, racist, homophobic, a power hungry psychopath…the list goes on. The whole situation is dire beyond comprehension.

Unless you really are an irrational anti-vaxxer or have a medical condition that means you shouldn't get the jab, it's still the best thing to do. After all, there is plenty to go around so no need to offer it to someone else. :)

If this goal is achieved, a broad discussion about post-independence parties can, and should, be had.

    1
  2701.  @michaeljacobs5342 : We have every reason (using the intelligence afforded to us by our brains to differentiate between things in the external world) to believe that rocks do not possess consciousness. That is hardly a controversial view to hold. If you are in favour of panpsychism, provide us with a few arguments that are in some way convincing.

  2702.  @dreamstever : What is? Again, more vague comments with zero substance.
    1
  2703.  @michaeljacobs5342 : Your comment is rife with confusion which seems to stem from a lack of familiarity with basic philosophical terms. To take on your first point, for some philosophers it is difficult to discern whether a rock does or does not possess some kind of awareness (not complex mental abilities found in humans and other animals, but some level of proto-consciousness on the scale of fundamental particles that make up the physical world). This view (panpsychism) is an attempt to solve deep problems relating to how consciousness can arise from seemingly inanimate matter. You appear to be in favour of this position—or at least something very close to it—when you claim that ‘’intelligence must first precede intelligent life’’. I am asking you exactly what this so-called ‘’intelligence’’ is because so far you’ve left it completely undefined. Is it a fundamental, or metaphysical, property of reality in line with panpsychism, or are you positing the existence of a supernatural entity like a god? And no, it most definitely is not an ‘’obvious fact’’ that intelligence needs to exist prior to the evolution of brains. As for your last point, I have never mentioned that man is the ‘’creator of the universe’’ so I’ve no idea how that observation is relevant. I would defend an emergent view of consciousness; highly complex structures arising from simpler biological life forms.

All that Lynch, Dempsey and others are asking is that people are paid fairly for their labour and don't have to rely on food banks, can put their heating on when they need to, don't feel unsafe when at work, are able to retire in dignity, etc. The same can be said of nursing staff.

  2720.  @jfro5867 : I didn't deny that the railways are experiencing problems. It is the cause of said problems that's the issue. Consistent cutting of budgets by Tory governments is in large part to blame for poor pay, poor performance, and poor morale. Blaming unions who are trying to improve working conditions and pay for the members they represent is just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And yes, of course people who only have their labour to give (ticket inspectors, cleaning staff, etc) should have the right to strike. The whole point of withdrawing labour is to cause disruption so that it is clear their jobs are needed. I agree with your view that radical structural change is required but as I've already mentioned, part of that is putting more money into railways, the NHS, etc. The money is there, it is just being accumulated by corporations and other wealthy individuals at the top. This capital must be redistributed for a start. The Conservatives are playing an ideological game over this and have been doing so for a long time now.

Claiming that the elderly and those most at risk of infection due to other health conditions don't need any kind of vaccination is contrary to just about every piece of medical advice available to the public. Unless you have an alternative medication that you think should be rolled out globally? Your entire argument falls apart with that bizarre assertion alone. You've also lied about the vaccines not having passed any specific testing, medical trials, or proof of efficacy. I don't know where you're getting your information from, but this simply isn't true. mRNA technology has been around since the 1980s; it isn't new. Side effects resulting from COVID vaccines are rare - the vast majority of people don't have to worry about complications. Any medication can result in unwanted side effects but for some strange reason paranoid morons online have got their knickers in a twist about vaccines. So my point still stands: leave matters such as this to health professionals because you're not adding anything useful to the debate.

  2755.  @mydogeatspuke : Great counter-argument. You didn't even attempt to answer my main question: if vaccines should not have been developed to counter COVID what alternative do you propose?
    1
  2756. ​ @mydogeatspuke : Maybe you should take that as a sign that your strange beliefs are not supported by evidence. After all, YT and other social media sites need to do something to stop the spread of misinformation. And you've still not answered my question about what medical approach you think would be best to try and suppress the virus/reduce deaths/limit pressure on hospitals/and deal with symptoms of long COVID. You clearly think you have the upper hand in terms of scientific research so what would you like to see implemented, bearing in mind that doing nothing is clearly madness and would lead to thousands more dying.

  2760.  @manoo422 : Scotland would be out for a period while renegotiations take place. The EU has said that Scotland would most likely be welcome to rejoin if it gains independence. You seem to be confusing te Brexit position (leave permanently) with Scotland's political landscape. That you refer to the EU as a dictatorship is, to use your own words, dumb beyond belief.

  2762.  @CosGeoMac : Yet more hilariously ignorant nonsense. People in full time employment are having to rely on universal credit, food banks, aren't able to heat their homes because of spiraling energy prices, etc. The various professions who are on strike do work hard but are not able to cover the basics in life. This is no fault of their own. But yes, you go with the daft idea that working class people such as nurses, cleaners, and train staff are the ones who are selfish and greedy.

You are absolutely correct but we’ve gone so far down the path of greed, the constant need for new material possessions, and capital investment creating ever more capital (something which of course is entirely unsustainable on a finite planet but very few people want to even acknowledge this) that it seems difficult to know how to reverse it all.

  2889. You are right that it is not mean to be taken too literally. Many worlds is not supposed to be taken to mean a world exactly like the universe (universe in this case being totality of reality that we have access to) we experience. Rather, and perhaps slightly confusingly, it it more of a technical term physicists use when applying this particular interpretation of QM and refers to how humans perceive results in quantum experiments. You might be interested in this paragraph from the article on the MWI that appears on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: ''Obviously, the definition of the world as everything that exists does not hold in the MWI. “Everything that exists” is the Universe, and there is only one Universe. The Universe incorporates many worlds similar to the one the layman is familiar with. A layman believes that our present world has a unique past and future. According to the MWI, a world defined at some moment of time corresponds to a unique world at a time in the past, but to a multitude of worlds at a time in the future.''

  2890.  @crackmaninoff : It is extremely odd. You must be the first person I've ever seen to post a comment claiming that Mick Lynch is inarticulate and does not express his views clearly. In fact, it's one of the things he's widely lauded for and he certainly does a better job of putting forward his ideas than the vast majority of politicians. He also runs rings around news presenters showing them up to be the establishment mouth pieces that they really are.
    1
  2891.  @crackmaninoff : He's not just reading from a hymn sheet; that's an entirely unfair assertion. He's been questioned by select committees, interviewed by a whole raft of media outlets, given speeches at numerous demonstrations and given memorial lectures (and all without notes I might add). I would say that he's done a consistently excellent job. What do you want him to talk about in media interviews in which questions focus on working conditions, pay, and trying to create a more equal society? Quantum physics? And what exactly does an inspiring trade union leader sound like in your view? Or do you think no one should be standing up for them at all?

There's simply no evidence whatsoever that COVID vaccines have killed more people than the virus itself so it's unclear what point you're trying to make.
    1
  2943.  @cloudbasenirvana : Not really. For the vast majority of people vaccinations are entirely safe. Yes, there can be side effects on occasion but this is true for just about every form of medication. Are you also a vocal critic of antidepressants? Some drugs used to treat mental health problems can have terrible side effects before the correct treatment is found. The long term health implications of contracting COVID are less well known and are, at present, more risky.

My point still stands and you've provided no evidence to refute it. Capitalism requires economic growth to survive: about 3% compound growth ad infinitum. On a planet with finite resources how long can this possibly go on for? Can you name a single physical system in the universe that is able to adhere to this kind of growth without imploding/consuming itself? We should instead be aiming for zero growth and not extracting vast quantities of non-renewable resources from the ground just to make a profit for greedy individuals at the top.

If Brexit does go ahead, it's going to take five to ten years to resolve.

  3031.  @jananilcolonoscopu4034 : My point was a general one; not specifically about Starmer. Responding directly to your comment though, I am certainly not his biggest fan by any stretch of the imagination but he's still marginally preferable to anyone the Tories can dredge up in order to perpetuate this corrupt shithow. But no, people would rather vote for the likes of a 'colourful' character like BoJo the Clown because he's oh so amusing. The fact that 'quirky' personalities have more attention heaped upon them compared to those who would be willing to do a job properly with no circus surrounding them is a sad indictment of our political system. Just look at how Corbyn was demonised too.
    1
  3032.  @jananilcolonoscopu4034 : As I've already hinted at, I don't for one moment get excited about the prospect of a Starmer-led government being the kind of radical progressive force I would like to see take hold in the UK. Fortunately, I don't need to vote for Labour (but for many in England that is not the case). The view you've outlined, however, is too extreme and to claim that Starmer is exactly like Johnson in terms of being a compulsive liar (yes, I know Starmer has been dishonest but not to the same extent), adopting a style of political leadership almost entirely devoid of any accountability, being sacked from former jobs, having extramarital affairs, etc is simply wrong.
    1
  3033.  @jananilcolonoscopu4034 : It's a reflection of the character of the man and his approach to politics. To claim that is had no bearing whatsoever on his style of leadership is very odd. Throughout his life he has been used to getting away with things that other people simply couldn't. The evidence is there. As for your charge that I am guilty of ''baseless tribal loyalty'', who might this loyalty be for exactly? I've already mentioned that I don't vote for Labour and probably wouldn't with Starmer as leader of the party. And are you claiming that you feel no sort of revulsion for Johnson and his ilk? Again, another very strange notion for someone who seems to despise the ideology espoused by the Conservatives.
    1
  3034. ​ @jananilcolonoscopu4034 : I've not for one moment claimed that Starmer's character is somehow ''superior''. Try reading my comments properly rather than making things up. ''You prefer the red team because... They're the red team.'' Wrong again. That is in no way the reason why I'd prefer to see England oust the Tories at the next GE. You can keep putting forward simplistic nonsense if you want though. One is left wondering which party you would vote for when the chance comes? Can you tell us what alternative there is that you back?

  3035.  @jananilcolonoscopu4034 : You really think there's absolutely no policy differences between Labour and the Tories? Come on you know this is utterly ridiculous. Look at NHS spending, the proposed Fair Work Standard, the party's stance towards PR, etc. Again, I vote for neither of parties discussed here. I do still think it's important to exercise your right to do so though, and if PR is introduced it will become even more salient. That you seem unable to answer my question and say who you would vote for in a GE is, to use your own words, absolutely tragic. As for grassroots activism, that is of course essential (the EIE campaign is doing a good job of spreading awareness surrounding pay, strike action, fair working conditions, etc) but I hate to break it to you, there is a lot of resistance out there to socialism. It's going to be a very hard slog to convince people that a viable alternative to the current ideology is what we need.

The claim that the vote on independence was a 'once in a generation' event is also highly misleading. Can you point me to that particular phrase in the Edinburgh Agreement? Was it on the ballot paper? I'll help you: No. Politician's opinions are one thing, the crucial written document in question with regard to the parameters of the vote are another. So again, that's another irrelevant claim you've made. As for your last point, you seem to cling to delusion that England will get a vote on Scottish independence. This will not happen; it's up to the people that actually live in Scotland to decide.

  3074. ​ @Confucius_76 : Non-belief is certainly a more rational view to adopt if one accords their understanding of the world to the evidence available, that much is clear. And yes, the religious beliefs espoused by PH do invalidate much of what he says (his social conservatism for a start), hence my initial comment so you can dispense with the phoney outrage and condescension that you're accusing other people of. To give just one example, PH is on record making the claim that one cannot act in a principled moral or ethical way without believing in the supernatural. This is demonstrably false for obvious reasons. If you want to try and defend this bizarre idea then by all means go ahead. And I do have wonder why you seem to be upset by the idea that PH pins his beliefs to a non-naturalistic ontology. The central attributes of god are, by definition, supernatural in that the supposed powers god has transcends the physical. This is not remotely controversial; it's just statement of fact if you really believe in Christianity.
    1
  3075.  @Confucius_76 : From our evolutionary past (see work being carried out in the fields of evolutionary psychology and biology), from the fact that we are social animals shaped by culture (predating the advent of Christianity, of course; ethics as a branch of philosophical understanding has been around for thousands of years), from our rational capacity for empathy with others. None of these traits necessitate religious adherence in order for us to act in an ethical way. And I certainly do judge PH's arguments based on their own merits. The problem is that the foundations upon which he now bases his political, social, and philosophical views are rooted in religious belief; there is no way around this and PH is not shy in claiming that Christianity is ''everything'' when it comes to the core ideas he holds to be true. If you think that describing god as supernatural entity makes the idea of a deity sound stupid that should tell you everything you need to know. No further comment necessary. As for Dawkins and others (why you felt the need to describe atheists as ''edgy'' is very bizarre), they largely agree that certain basic Christian tenets are good in principle, but the Bible taken as a whole is a dreadful set of principles by which to live one's life (you only need to look at the Old Testament to see evidence of that). So no, it's simply not accurate to claim that our moral values ultimately come from Christianity. This is a huge hole in PH's understanding of the world.

  3079.  @otakurocklee : Compared to your initial comment that stated that a panpsychist world view is 'truly horrific' due to implied suffering (had your dismay been directed at the metaphysics of the idea then I might have been inclined to agree), I don't think your follow up that there is 'far more suffering' in a panpsychist conception of reality holds any truth either. Have you read anything by a proponent of the view that equates the proto-awareness of say, an electron, with pain? It seems that in order for animals to experience pain or suffering they need to possess a sensory nervous system which is simply not present in subatomic particles. You might be interested in this interview with Galen Strawson in which he outlines the kind of awareness that particles might have according to his philosophical position: 48:35: /watch?v=1ydqAhPNuyY
    1
  3080.  @otakurocklee : Regarding your first point, I'm not so sure about macroscopic systems. One of the oddities that I've found with the panpsychist conception of reality is that its proponents (let's take Strawson as an example again) think that the individual constituent parts (at the micro-level) of rocks are 'aware' in some sort of very weak sense (the energy of an electron 'buzzing' away to itself), yet the rock is not aware even though it consists of vast numbers of electrons. It seems to me that panpsychism is simply against strong emergentism (put enough neurons together and bang, we have a technicolour lightshow inside our head that we call consciousness). There's also the argument that panpsychism is the most parsimonious, elegant, philosophical approach to consciousness which I have to admit is one appealing aspect of the idea. I agree with your criticism about what exactly does panpsychism solve, however. What accounts for qualia arsing in complex systems like the human body which is neither as small as a rock, or as vast as the cosmos? Strawson says that the stuff that evolution has to work with is already conscious but when it's put together in a certain way we get complex consciousness. Seems close to emergentism to me although I must be missing something. I also remain unconvinced as I simply don't see how panpsychism can be tested empirically

If someone does experience side effects resulting from a vaccination, it is very likely that said complications will be apparent quickly after receiving a jab. Vaccines don't suddenly kill people years down the line - that's simply not how they work. So yes, my point still stands: placing emphasis on vaccine-related side effects (which are very rare) to create some kind of narrative that they are more dangerous than the virus they are used to protect against is moronic. Moreover, mRNA vaccine technology has been around since the 1980s. This is not new.

Come back when you do have clear evidence to show that COVID vaccines are the most dangerous medical threat we're currently facing.

  3108.  @britnatzaredemocracydenier5922 : A couple consisting of a man and a woman might not want to reveal their sexuality to anyone else. You are assuming that you'd be in a position to know everything about someone's private life in every case which is a bit presumptuous. My point still stands, just because a man and a woman get married does not mean that they are straight as you seem to have implied.

  3113. @Richie Rich: Perhaps, but you need to bear in mind that Sunak is not very well liked by large swathes of Conservative Party members. Given this, there’s a real chance Truss could end up becoming PM.

  3117.  @thefella131 : What do I object to? That with the the Tories abhorrent record in office and the hideous wars that they now seem intent to back, your response is merely 'lol but what about the SNP'. Get a grip and read the tone of the room.

  3118. Starmer's still got until 2025 before a GE is held. If he lasts that long and becomes PM it will only be because the Tories have been so utterly abysmal (probably even more so if Truss is in charge) that voters will want anything other than the Conservatives. It won't be because he's widely regarded as being a good leader. So the question is how's Starmer 'winning' by not even showing support for working class people when they need at the moment? His strategy is very poor.

  3121.  @tisFrancesfault : A Labour leader who is not even prepared to stand in solidarity with striking workers who've not seen a pay rise in years and who are struggling to pay bills that are spiralling out of control is not one I'd want to associate myself with. It's a basic point of principle that anyone who claims to be a socialist, an advocate for the the working class, and someone who is supposed to be in stark opposition to the successive vile Tory governments we've had to endure for over a decade should be able to speak up for those at the bottom. Starmer has been incredibly weak in this regard. ''I've not seen him being particularly Jingoistic in any manner.'' You need to start paying more attention in that case. I am also amazed that you are seemingly giving Starmer a free pass with regard to the 10 pledges he has reneged upon. He has broken commitments and would continue to do so if elected as PM; to deny this is sheer idiocy. Again, the man cannot, and should not, be trusted.

  3122. ​ @tisFrancesfault : I don't think either would suffer; that's the whole point. And yes, principles matter. Deeply. In case it had bypassed you (many things concerning Starmer seem to, it has to be said), he has developed a dreadful reputation for being a red Tory. Failing to act like someone who genuinely cares about the working class (the very people he's supposed to represent) is a suicidal move. Next you'll be defending Starmer for attending Murdoch's annual summer party alongside some of the most vile people in positions of power in the UK.
