    You tend to find that lefties limit themselves to The Guardian and BBC and refuse to look at sources outside of their bubble where as people with a more Conservative outlook tend to read both sides and get a balanced view as the truth is usually somewhere in the middle .

    They spend their time on Twitter agreeing with each other and find it confusing that people don't share the same views as big tech global brands and the dominant forces of information.

    Some would even want anyone with a different opinion deplatformed and cancelled and celebrate people they don't agree with banned.

    If the president of America can be banned from Twitter then it's basically fascism .

    Lefties seem to be more gullible and susceptible to brainwashing and fake News .

    I haven't counted them. I notice you avoided my question.
    Is this another of your attempts to deflect from you saying something ridiculous by avoiding the actual subject you brought up?
    You said I usually dismiss anything from the Guardian yet when I explain my attitude is different for factual reports to opinion pieces you resort to asking irrelevant questions.

    I dont see how airlines can get away with it if employers and pubs and restaurants can't get away with it.
    Either vaccination is a private matter or not.
    Is testing negative a different matter?
    They are all private health matters.

    I would say pubs will get away with it. They can refuse anybody they want as it is.

    It's easy to make vaccines mandatory for care workers as they are low skilled and low paid .
    This extends beyond care workers , families of residents are also banned from visiting their loved ones in the homes.

    When they try to make NHS staff take the jab the unions will no doubt launch a legal defense and they won't be able to just fire workers .

    If France get away with it then it will no doubt be played out in other countries.

    Think the French are speaking about it this week to see if it is unconstitutional or not. They will go on strike regardless.

    Dictatorship, you would think health care professionals are better positioned than behavioural psychologists and politicians regarding health matters .

    Anyone that still thinks we are ever going back to the old normal and the crap we are putting up with isn't extremely sinister is too far gone to help.

    you mean when you were saying that the government didnt spend an extra £350m per week on the NHS and I showed that you they did?
    you wanted to ignore any extra paid because governments "always spend extra" and spent money "on dealing with covid".
    Silly person: "You are not going to spend any money today"
    Sensible person: "I did. I got a train into town"
    Silly person: "You always get a train into town"

    "You must not criticise me for missing a penalty because I will claim it is racist."
    It's no different from Diane Abbott claiming that, when she doesn't understand simple numbers regarding police pay, people's criticism of her is racist.

    They can but not for any reason. Equality legislation makes it unlawful to refuse entry on the grounds of race, religion, sex or sexual orientation and disability amongst other things.

    Very difficult to proof that they didn't like somebody because of religion or colour.
