    He didn't even do that, for what it's worth. He didn't found Tesla.

    Tolerances are hard won and hard to keep. The American war on women’s procreative rights is a symptom of your conservatism. The Russian laws against promoting homosexuality (what moron thinks people become gay because they see a rainbow flag?) are part of your conservative pushback. I see most of this as male insecurity, to be honest.

    Interesting, a hark back to former patriarchy perhaps.

    Your resilience is laudable <cheers>

    I was feeling a bit delicate this morning and I thought it was a bit of a hangover, turns out it was probably the woke mind virus …
    … I was feeling particularly liberal last night :oops:

    Tesla was not his first choice for a name from what I read. But its short, rolls off the tongue. I doubt too much investigaiton into the man himself was done before deciding on the name. Pretty much. electricty link - that'll do.

    And he died broke because he was squashed by the big boys. Something we see today with the global Corps running riot.

    No7 was talking about tax evasion …

    “The UK’s tax authority has not fined a single “enabler” of offshore tax evasion or noncompliance in five years, despite landmark powers to impose huge fines.

    Tory ministers claimed new laws introduced in 2017 allowed HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to pursue accountants, lawyers and bankers who facilitate offshore tax evasion would “create a level playing field”, with potential fines of several millions of pounds.

    New figures disclosed under freedom of information laws to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism reveal no one has been fined in the last five years under the powers”

    Things Labour need to bear in mind to be elected … and if they get elected

    “Between 2008 and 2010, McSweeney was adapting the same principles to organising against the BNP in Barking, where he met another of his key mentors, the Labour MP Jon Cruddas. One of the lessons they took from that fight was that it was not always lofty ideals that defeated extremism, but also graft and a willingness to listen to what was at the root of people’s problems, which was often anger at government incompetence”

    Apparently there are still an estimated 7 million people eligible to vote, that haven’t registered to vote.
    Maybe Labour can reintroduce the rule that was in place for years, where the “head” of the household registered everyone who lived in the same house/flat.
    The only reason it was changed (in 2014), was to reduce the number of young people from voting, as they would traditionally vote against the conservatives, but would be less likely to register (IMO). An attempt at gerrymandering just like the introduction of ID.

    Yep, listening to the concerns of disconnected people, is generally a lot more productive than dismissing them as thick angry bigots.

    On the other hand, there are a lot of thick angry bigots about. So it's a balancing act.

    Can someone post a link on here that I’m sure they have before on who to vote for, if voting tactically?

    I’m in Bournemouth West and was going to vote Labour to get Connor Burns out, but just had an interesting chat with the Lib Dem candidate who naturally thinks the Lib Dems are the better bet, but I am not so sure.

    God you people are so boring.

    You can’t stand to see anyone being successful can you?

    Liberal politics is just the politics of envy and bitterness.
