@F1NickDear @LeeHurstComic The reason they want to abolish the TV licence fee has nothing to do with cost. They don't like the BBC

@floboflo I doubt it. I think you'll find people that support him are more forgiving of his transgressions than they were of others.

@StufferSuitcase @dave43law @TheBritishIntel Them's the rules. Winston Churchill, for example, crossed from Whig to Tory. Several moved from Tory to Reform.

@Hypnoteq @dave43law @TheBritishIntel She isn't a Labour MP. That's a fact.

@MichaelAArouet In fairness to China, they're doing quite a lot to move over to sustainable energy. Also, China burns up energy for products we buy. If we're concerned about the amount of CO2 China is generating we could simply stop consuming.

@MichaelAArouet We don't have Socialists in government.

@andsjam @RetroCoast Ibn Al-Haytham, Al Battani, Ibn Sina, Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi, Omar Khayyam. All Muslim. It's worth noting here that I'm trying to say these people were working in an environment that was relaxed about religion. Fundamentalism came later.

[Robert Pugh @brotherpug]

@andsjam @RetroCoast Well, yes. Of course that's true. Also the leaders were willing to fund and promote it. What's more interesting is what made it all stop.

[Robert Pugh @brotherpug]

@andsjam @RetroCoast I used the word "largely" and it's correct, not the only contribution but a good part of it. Certainly wasn't because of Christianity, the driver was secular in essence, humanism, a throwback to Ancient Greek thinking.

[Robert Pugh @brotherpug]

@andsjam @RetroCoast That started with The Renaissance, largely inspired by the Islamic world and continued with The Enlightenment, which progressed in spite of religion. The collapse of Islamic science happened because of fundamentalist religion. The same is happening in USA.

@TiceRichard I stand with neither but I'm glad you're happy with blowing up hospitals, and deliberately targeting medical staff.

[Robert Pugh @brotherpug]

@WarMonitor3 It always was political.

@NasCostomano @redrumlisa @AngelaRayner There are hardly any council houses. Social housing is mostly owned by housing associations and the supply is small, only goes to vulnerable people.

[Robert Pugh @brotherpug]

@NasCostomano @redrumlisa @AngelaRayner It is to blame. At least, refusing to allow the proceeds to be spent on new housing was to blame.

[Robert Pugh @brotherpug]

@redrumlisa @AngelaRayner Rayner can't do squat. The die was cast when Thatcher decided to sell off council homes and not allow proceeds to be used to build. Private ownership of the rental market means speculators buy up property to use as rentals. More homes will be available when boomers die out

@synthesis45 @VanceNate Kremlin.

@admcollingwood Daily Mail though.

@Lodewijck2 @patriottakes As far as I can tell he's ignoring the whole of the New Testament. Certainly the Gospels.
