This is why it’s pointless discussing anything with you, you either don’t read what is written properly, or you just choose to put your own interpretation on it anyway and still try and ram home your points.
You can call me ‘far left’ all you want if it makes you feel better, even if it is ultimately meaningless. Not sure you can point to many ‘far left’ groups in history that were pro-capitalist free marketeers.
You seem to think your lockdown point is some big ‘gotcha’ as well. If you take a purely economic outlook on it of course it’s a terrible course of action to take. But it wasn’t purely an economic one was it? If it was there wouldn’t have been any lockdowns. It was a drastic public health matter. You seem to revel in taking the contrarian view to most courses of action as it is much easier to try and score points against action that was taken rather than hypothesise about action that wasn’t and say ‘wouldn’t have happened if they did what I suggested’.
I seem to remember your main arguments at the time were more about civil liberties than economics, like lockdowns were some sort of perverted social experiment the government couldn’t wait to implement, rather than a last resort health measure. Find it quite ironic that you had a hissy fit over being told to wear a little mask in public as it eroded your civil liberties but you think you can dictate to trans people how to live their entire lives?
The bold bit is entirely plausible btw. For example, if you believe that the best people to be Prime Minister of this country, purely on merit, just happen to be largely a succession of Eton school boys, then as your well worn phrase goes, I’ve got some magic beans to sell you.
Do us all a favour and take your issues with Stirling to DM as none of the above has anything to do with the title and subject of this thread.
