I guess I just found your wording strange. Plenty of people are interested in different cultures. People read Greek and Norse mythology, Japanese or Slavic folklore without even being from those parts of the world. Do you think that the Conjuring or Exorcist are only scary if you’re Christian? Or the Ring is only relatable if you’re Shinto… Or you can only enjoy Thor movies if you’re pagan…?

Why is it only scary for Muslims?

Are you going to apply the same rules to pedal assist bikes? Or are you planning to single out e-scooters only, like tfl did for some reason?

Acoustic bikes? What kind of witchery is that? Do you sing to unlock them or do they play music while you ride?

40% of that figure is international students, who tend to be wealthy and live in student accommodation which wouldn’t house regular people anyways. They also tend to leave after they finish their studies. So that would leave us closely with the recommended number of building new houses. People should really find another excuse to blame immigrants or bother reading the details of the stats they use. (Also, ONS and other think tanks said that this number is not going to continue going forward.)

I like what Mike Lynch (famous leader of one of UKs biggest union) said during his Novara media interview… I’ll paraphrase from memory. “Back in the day, your retirement was secured with your job. You’d get a pension from your employer when you get to retirement age. Then Thatcher and Reagan happen… Now days, there’s no security, benefits or high salaries anymore. So people do whatever they need to do to secure their retirement. And if it’s buying another property, so be it.”

Quick edit: before anyone gets angry. Neither myself or him want this to continue. It’s shit and we should fight to bring back dignity to people’s careers. But until that’s sorted, I think it’s ethical to care for your own and your family’s survival.

Technically correct, but your comment makes it sound like the military is actively commissioning movies, which is not the case. When Hollywood wants to make historical or war movies, they have few options:

• Buy the equipment - one military ship or airplane can be more than the whole movie’s budget.
• Prop/CGI - may look bad and doesn’t guaranty to be cheaper.
• Get all the gear for free, loaned out from the military (including training and specialists) - but they get to edit and approve your script.

I wish there were more options for independent and critical movie makers.

One would think that there would be more than just one lawyer who says that… Oh well… :)

He already has money. He needs power and influence for his father in-law business interests.

I don’t know if it’s your reading comprehension or you’re just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I’m not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn’t seem to be based on any empirical evidence.

You made some bold claims though and I’m here to challenge you on those.

• You claim to be a “leftie”.
• You voted remain.
• You want to reform FPTP and immigration.
• Apparently reform are the only ones to hit all the boxes.

So my answer is this… If you vote Reform, you’re not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you’re not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.

Why would I vote for libdem?

Because they want to get rid of FPTP and fix immigration, your main two important issues. But it seems like you’re adding extra steps now…

Anyways, reading your other comments here, you’ve confirmed what others already suspected - you don’t really want to fix the root issues of immigration, you’re just a xenophob.

If those are your main issues, how are they any different from greens or libdems?

Assuming you’re not trolling. Can you please expand on what good points do you think they offer?

The majority of the civil service don’t support those policies. It’s not their fault that every now and then some crazy unelected “CEO” comes along and tells the directorate “now do this”. In the last ten years the Home Secretary changed eight times!

You need TV licence, so no, not free.

Mainly 5 year terms, but I can see on the list some 6 and 7 year terms as well… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_term_limits

Not every country has four year terms. Also, elections can be triggered early for various reasons.

What do you do when you need to update all the machines with your setup?

Genuine question - what’s your opinion of the Jordanian treatment of Palestinians?

Learn history, or stop lying. Napoleon invaded Russia through (today’s) Lithuania and Belarus.
