  1. Do you mean 'truly independent' like the 'truly independent body' that decides wages and pay scales for public service workers that the government does not in any way, shape or form proscribe the limits and terms of no sir no siree no way?

  7. They were bigger girls though. More efficient. Slower but harder. (as the actress said to the vicar)

  9. This was Ms. Truss's 'Greg Stillson' moment, I'm afraid. Her reaction was human enough (understandable surprise and shock) but she just didn't move fast enough. Those two or three frozen seconds of confused inaction were the killer. They made her look weak and indecisive - as if she doesn't really care that much about other people (other women, in this case) and their immediate welfare. I'm probably reading slightly too much into it but small stuff like this can often matter in a tight leadership race. It's a shame really because Liz 'where's-the-door' Truss is the gift that keeps on giving...

  10.  @claudioricci1  I'd maybe give Ms Truss the benefit of the doubt, on reflection. Being a politician is one of those jobs where MPs do have to think about their own and their families' security and safety on a daily basis: recent cases of MPs being killed just doing their jobs speak for themselves. I think it was probably simple and genuine shock/surprise that caused her to hesitate for so long. Maybe it just felt longer because it was muted visuals on a live TV broadcast: the television equivalent of 'dead air.' Who knows? I'm sure the RWP will applaud her evident 'calmness' and 'sangfroid' in 'the face of danger and uncertainty.'...the spinners are spinning as we speak...

  21. Mr. Yousaf MSP: no need for the sarcasm. If you think COVID and the pandemic has had a major deleterious effect on the health service in Scotland, just say so. And then prove your point with evidence. That's all. Keep the mindless mordacity to yourself.

  22.  @innocentiii953  "In France, a country renowned for its high level of taxation, the 370 richest families are actually only taxed around 2% to 3%. How did we get there? Quite simply because large fortunes can use tax arrangements designed to reduce their tax rate to the bare minimum, which ordinary households cannot, but also because countries have gradually abandoned taxation of wealth and capital" > Le monde (french newspaper) , 14/03/2023. 💪✊

  23.  @graemecreegan6749  1. "So you believe 16 year olds are capable of diagnosing themselves of complex psychological conditions? 2. And that they should then be allowed to volunteer themselves for dangerous and irreversible (also extremely profitable for ‘healthcare’ companies) ‘treatments’?" 1. yes 2. yes

  25. "Crisis" can just mean a turning point or critical period or crossroads. It doesn't always have to signify danger or disaster.

  26. When you dissemble, you disguise your true intentions or feelings behind a false appearance. To dissemble is to pretend that you don't know something, to pretend that you think one way when you act another way. What does 'self-dissembling' mean? Hiding your true feelings or intentions from yourself?

  35. Why is it appalling? I don't understand?!? The reporter took some photos on her phone of some of the kind messages left by the concerned locals and then read them out for the benefit of the viewers watching at home who obviously cannot read them for themselves. Maybe you would prefer it if she grabbed a few cards from the grief pile and held them up for the camera? Or does a mobile phone (an advanced piece of kit) look less professional than an old-fashioned reporters' notebook and biro? I accept your apology for being negative. Most of us deserve the benefit of the doubt and you're one of us, so to speak. Maybe next time...don't be so negative. Most of us in this crazy world just want to get on and live and not do any harm or injury to our fellow humans. I'm sure the reporter is a nice person and wants to do a good job and not cause any offense, etc, etc. I could be wrong of course - but I'd rather make a few mistakes every so often than be a negative person all the time. Sorry for the lecture. But a few people have said the same thing on here and I don't know why. It's the least important detail of the news item, that's for sure...

  37. Well said. But I'm afraid the Tories ain't listening, sadly.

  38.  @Kitiwake  She's pretty close to the fighting, you know? And she's witnessed some terrible things up close. I could not do her job and a million pounds would not tempt me to try.

  39. nah

  40. We can. The Tories just don't want to. The reason: the government systematically underfunding and understaffing the NHS in readiness for privatisation.

  48.  @markymark7803  Transpeople feel and think and know their own minds and bodies. Try to think of transpeople as real living and breathing human beings instead of hate slogans and political scoring points.

  49.  @Aklith  Normal? Define normal. No one is normal. We are all extraordinary and complex and different human beings.Try imagining transpeople as real humans for a change.
