@ute0761@Glynwebman@LozzaFox It was known from the start which groups of people were vulnerable to Covid. They were the same groups who are vulnerable to flu every single winter. Shall we lockdown the entire country to save the few in those groups every single year? Or can we say the world over reacted?
@RogerLa67397096@LozzaFox Covid deaths in the uk were attributed to a +ve test result. Not an autopsy proving Covid killed them. The data is thus severely compromised. And in many cases those people would have died anyway from the same complications brought on by flu, in any other year
@parke65055@statsjamie Debt management is already the 3rd highest expense on the governments books. And we’re having to borrow money to service it… the economy is screwed without spending cuts and or growth higher than 1%. Won’t get the growth without tax and regulation cuts
@7Kiwi The reason China likes electric cars. Is because they can be recharged from burning coal, which they have an abundance of. Rather than relying on imported oil and its derivatives, which they have little of
@worstall@7Kiwi Yeah, doesn’t work though. The parties pick the candidates. And then the electorate vote for the one with the correct colour rosette, regardless.
@Rogey_B@TheNorfolkLion No the Fabian’s are socialist subversives who want to undermine Britain one slice at a time until you get to the socialist utopia they think exists.
They are responsible for Labour and treasury economic orthodoxy through the LSE and Keynesian
@LabJacobite Nope, defence is bottom of the pile. Which is why 6 out of 6 nuclear attack submarines are along side, not out in the IGUK gap patrolling and shadowing Russian ballistic missile subs like they should. And why we are really struggling to keep our nuclear deterrent at sea.
@farrightAlbie@wham52@danwootton No, you just aren’t going to unite the right under Reform, to achieve that. Because Reform leadership want nothing to do with the type of people that would get them a majority to do it
@DPJHodges Well the narrative was wrong. It was obvious that a city with a high number of Labour voters, with a large number of Labour constituencies was a shoe in. No Labour voter needed to know a thing about the candidate. She was Labour and that’s enough, so she’d win
@wham52@danwootton All the people who aren’t supporters of Reform anymore aren’t. Because of Reforms actions. Some of which I have pointed out. They have no reason to burry the hatchet with Reform or its leadership, especially when Reform have shown no contrition for there actions
@wham52@danwootton Who caused the “division” was it Reform using Hope not Hate hit pieces to vet its members?
Farage calling Tommy Robinson supports “them lot”?
Reform throwing Lowe out for being 1 step to the right of Farage 1 day early
Or Restore coming to exist of the back of those things?
@altim1237@angelForLiberty Inflation isn’t “prices going up” inflation is the increase of money in the system degrading purchasing power.
The result is prices going up because now it costs more to buy the same amount of goods and services as you previously paid for.
@Merlinchon Which came first. Politics not representing the people? Or people not bothering to turn up to vote?
Because a sure fire way to motivate somebody not to bother voting is not feeling represtented
