@GoodwinMJ At what point are folk going to understand that the system is the problem, anyone who is prepared to work within it is tainted by association, regardless of motives & every time you vote, you condone the corruption? Get a bloody grip, none of them are going to fix anything.
@Elizabe2691357@JamieWhistle My youngest is more appreciative now she's got to the ripe old age of 21yrs. The others too. If nothing else, I know I've got kids that won't stand silent in the face of injustice. Mind, there's going to be significant sarcasm -they get that from me! Totally agree about MP women!
@timothy_stanley "Most people have never heard of the Teal Book. They should. It is the British government's own project delivery guidance, and it states explicitly that British equality, diversity and inclusion policy is governed by the UN's 2030 Agenda."

@william_ka27311@827js You'd think self preservation would do the job. Unknown house, don't know if the owner is armed, stay away if planning to be silly. Ah well, no fixing stupid.
Some crazy goat facts that will get you scratching your head.
- In the Italian Alps, wild ibex climb the Cingino Dam, a 160-foot near-vertical wall, picking their way up the bare stone just to lick the salt off it. From across the valley they look like flies stuck to glass.
- They pull it off because each cloven hoof has a hard, sharp outer rim that catches tiny ledges and a soft, rubbery inner pad that grips the rock like a suction cup.
- In Morocco, whole herds climb argan trees and stand up in the branches, twenty feet off the ground, browsing the leaves like heavy hooved fruit.
- Their pupils are rectangular, and they rotate to stay level with the horizon even as the head drops, giving the goat a 320 to 340 degree field of view. It watches almost all the way around itself without moving its head.
- The "fainting" goat does not faint. A genetic quirk briefly locks its muscles when it's startled, so it keels over stiff as a plank, wide awake the entire time, then gets up and carries on as if nothing happened.
- Goats have accents. Kids raised in the same group drift into calling the same way, a kind of vocal copying found in only a handful of mammals, ourselves among them.
- They read your face. Shown two photos of the same person, one smiling and one scowling, a goat will head for the smile.
- They can follow the direction of a hidden human voice to find food, a trick that dogs and human toddlers manage but chimpanzees fail.
- When a goat is given a puzzle it cannot solve, it turns and looks back at the nearest human, asking for help in much the same way a dog does.
- The word "scapegoat" is meant literally. In an ancient rite, a community heaped its sins onto a goat and drove it out into the wilderness to carry them away.
- The world may owe its coffee to one. By legend an Ethiopian goatherd saw his flock dancing after eating some red berries, tried them himself, and several billion daily cups later, here we are.
- In Greek myth the infant Zeus was nursed by a goat, and her broken horn became the cornucopia. The universal symbol of abundance is, quite literally, a goat's horn.
Strange how much turns out to be going on inside the animal we wrote off as the thing that eats tin cans and headbutts the gate.
Men have to be able to face what the men around them are doing to women rather than shout “not all men” - because that does nothing to stop “some of the men”.
The 14 men accused of raping one woman at her husband’s invitation. Lots of different kinds of men. Just like the men you will walk past today.

@Lyndonx No. I want the current corrupt system removed, down to the last rotten root. Then I want *us* to decide what we want our systems to look like.
If you vote in the current system, you condone corruption. I am not ok with that.
@NordYorksKev@real_shirelass Those trying to make this about religion really bother me. Just a different form of zealotry; religion isn't something we all share. Culture is.
