You can tell a lot about people from which adjectives they think are nouns.

Shambles whoever created these graphs in my opinion.

"punish the rich" should read as responsible taxation

"open the borders" should read as humane immigration system

"Protectionist" should read as fair regulation

"Tree Hugging" should read as taking climate change seriously.


Just a wee rant to say that the BBC are pathetic.

They also have Boris Johnson as in favour of government-ran healthcare. He has no proven record, but he's made noises about letting the market into the NHS for decades, very misleading to say - "oh he's been prime minister for two minutes and hasn't privatised things, he must be far-left on state governance of health.

They’ve now updated that graphic, presumably after getting slaughtered for it.

It now reads, “target the rich” Wiggo Just not getting it.

Has Johnson been seen yet? Just this is a great point from John Sweeney about the way he governs.

I'm just wondering what could happen if this thing hits the US.

You have a healthcare "system" where most will do just about anything not to use because of the cost, draconian labour laws which make taking a sick day a capital offence, and an administration so ill-equipped to deal with a crisis of that magnitude. So people with extremely limited access to healthcare and who can't afford to stay home from work - what could possibly go wrong?


Part Eek but also kind of jjay if it hits before November and wipes out a shit load of boomers.
