It feels like you are too obsessed with one media source. One I showed last time deliberately misrepresents evidence. I suggest broadening your reading.

You can be too wedded to an idea and go looking for evidence it is true. If I read this and find a ‘loop hole’ it means I have found evidence you are wrong that you are already telling me you won’t listen to. So why would I bother?

Why were the white rioters of Ely not punished more severely if we have a two-tier system? Loophole my arse.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but just seen that Brazil has suspended the use of X/Twitter, because Musk has withdrawn his legal representative from there.
Seems he owes money in fines, don’t know what for though.
Anyone found to be accessing X, in Brazil by using a VPN, risks a fine.
 
Starmer seems to have surrounded himself by idiots, but maybe that's the plan.

Jess Phillips is a complete dope. Coming out with this as if she sees being rewarded for her stance on Gaza as something to brag about.

This is exactly what we had in the USSR. Healthcare for everyone. Except if you wanted it quickly or done to a high standard, you had to "be someone" or pay bribes.

A friend of mine has read that pensioners will be means tested for national insurance now?
Haven’t heard or read anything about that.

It is not so simple as not true. However, it comes from here:

The Telegraph has presented this as a ‘Labour Plot’ but this hasn’t come from Labour at all. Maybe it will happen one day - but it is tiring hearing all this scaremongering from the press. At least wait for someone in government to mention it before making people think it is happening.
