    Happy to help out, but I did think you would have known from personal experience?

    You’re good on definitions. Is there a similar name for ordinary people who have allowed themselves to believe the lie that hard right policies really benefit them, not the rich people espousing the policies?

    I personally don't think that rappers speak for all African Americans. I worked for a couple of months in Mississippi, Meridian, and one weekend I was taken by my hosts to see where they used to "hang the ni***rs", it sort of brought it home to me how much hatred there still is that society between the different parties. So I don't use the term and therefore I'm a snowflake, you know what I don't really care.

    I've been looking for that one word. There are many naive, gullible, trusting, unsuspecting, deceivable etc but none that carry the real feeling. Clay is about the best I can think of being easily mouldable, pliant and easy to reform. Maybe "Play-doh" would work?

    Personal experience of what?
    It's not me looking in a dictionary to see which words are offensive I can make my own mind up, I don't need someone to tell me, it's them who have the problem with words.

    https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...ovid-origin-suggests-lab-leak-is-most-likely/

    Some of us knew this from almost the start.
    I predict that some will say that 'most likely' isn't absolute proof but the lab origin is the most likely unless the zoonotic pathway can be identified.
    It's been 3 years now and the dots have not been connected.

    Hopefully some will now start to question the stories they've been fed about not only this.

    Don't forget, this was a conspiracy theory that you couldn't discuss.

    Seems he's been suspended as a Tory MP. Not sure how Dorries got away with it years ago.
