People like this, show me unity is unlikely

If he did it knowingly he’s deliberately trying to manipulate it further for his own political gain.

If it’s an error it shows he’s one of the online right thickos who has been suckered in by someone doing the above to him.

Eaglesdare is a good bloke in my opinion.
I've had many conversations with him over the years. He is far from stupid.

Suggesting he is stupid ,doesn't help things Dan. Especially as he hasn't responded yet.

I wasn’t saying he is stupid - saying there’s a 50:50 chance.

He can confirm which one.

You know it balances on your head

We all think we're are right don't we?

Those strong feelings I had during covid would have been shared by those who disagreed with me.

That said, I'm not certain that everyone would have backed it up like me. Lol

Not at all, I just think it absurd to suggest that Wisbech is balanced, just reading his posts shows that is far from the case.

But the point is Mr Wisbech thinks our posts are absurd sometimes too.

I wonder what the forum would look like if everyone agreed. Probably a right wing version of reddit. Terrifying thought.

So you took this at face value and called the poster a thicko along with people who agree with them.
Irony abounds !!!

I obviously meant every year… or is it every hour now? Hard to keep up with the inflation these days 🤣

Perhaps he does, that doesn't make him balanced though.

That's a lot to un pack

However I can answer your question in my way.

There are some politicians who start their career with good intentions. However they will soon discover that they have little influence

They are just carrying out the instructions of people higher up. A compartmentalised system. The names of the people truely running the show, we don't know.

Ask yourself this. Do people want war? Of course they do not. But why do we have constant wars?

My alternative in preference to governments?

I'm not saying there should not be a rule of law. I am saying that these people do not act in our best interests. So why keep voting for a rigged system.

The alternative would require unity in people. As you can see from the title of the thread, that's unlikely at the moment.

Politicians make a fair wage. Some of the more successful ones make plenty of extra money with the other jobs they do associated to the politicians job. Some probably like the power and prestige.

Sorry my response is jumbled up. It's just a kept noticing your many questions.

P.s
If you would like some more information on why covid was a complete scam, then I will be happy to answer. Lol

Thanks Matt. What I would say is that there are unelected people who have disproportionate power due to enormous personal wealth, allowing them to dominate others and have an influence over the way the country is governed. I have experienced this first hand and in most circumstances there’s nothing a normal person can do about them because they have endless resources to spend on unscrupulous lawyers. But there are very few of them, and whilst they can influence government / politicians, I really don’t believe that our politicians are told what to do by other hidden people.

I just believe that governing the country is incredibly difficult, especially in such a polarised time. Public finances are so restricted with massive demands on them due to the cost of Covid, the mental health epidemic, overseas wars, the ever-expanding number of medical treatments available, and so on. Government’s only chance is to create an environment where productivity can grow leading to a thriving economy which can restore the country’s wealth, but this government doesn’t get what that means. Mobs of left-wing (showing my bias) activists shout down any policies which might improve the situation. That’s why they don’t achieve anything in my view.

I would be interested in your Covid information. Again it’s not something I agree with now, but I think we all need to properly consider evidence and arguments which run against our current views.

There is little I disagree with here
My wife the genius and main bread winner has to deal with the lack of government expenditure everyday. So I more than hear you.

With regard to the covid information. You seem already well informed on how things work, so I don't think I need to pass any more information on that personally.

However as an edit to my original post I will try and post you my views privately.


What a result tonight though. Lol.

Government expenditure is the answer for all our ills! Why don't we transfer all taxation to the NHS, then will all live forever.
