Now this is more like it…

Some generic weak lager by the beach in Costa Calma, Fuetoventura. No complaint, it’s cold and wet. Setting off to find a local bar thats got football on now though.

The problem with living longer is that the extra years come at the end when you just can’t physically do all the things that you want to do…

Dr Mosley recommends a version of the med diet to control blood sugars with some good results. Apparently much better paired with intermittent fasting and cutting out most of the red wine…

Totally agree - but what do we do when the fascists try to take power? Surely it then becomes our duty to form an organised opposition. Obviously I’m speaking hypothetically because I’m not a member of antifa and we all know that the UK is run by idiots, not fascists.

No I agree, even if they went in and held him in one place to prevent further carnage it would have been good - or at least would have looked much better. Arming teachers cannot be the answer - it would just make schools a shooting gallery. Because let’s not forget that someone with half a brain...

Still can’t get my head around this. But a colleague of mine who just returned from hols in the states told me that the gunman (well, boy) had body armour and armour-piercing bullets for which the cops had no plan to counter once he was holed up - hence they waited for the SWAT team. I don’t...

That’s a long way of saying “none” If only Google started with a lesson on how to evaluate sources…

Free to choose, best path to follow.

Agreed, but that is why I stated that if all they did was oppose fascists…

Bank holiday weekend so I’m starting early. Saaz & Lemondrop pilsner.

Very well put. But if Antifa was purely an anti-fascist movement most of us should be members by default.

I always found such notions were developed to stifle debate.

Agreed Tony, but people never changing their voting habits doesn’t mean we dont have a democracy. The party whip system can be abused to put party will over MPs voting in their constituency interest definitely, but I’m more concerned about how easily the tabloids influence people to vote...

Strange, because I wasn’t born in 1971 but I’ve seen so much change in my lifetime. I’m hoping to see many more changes too before I depart this stage.

Yet you have not told us anything, other than you value stories instead of reality.

You have not made a case, and you have not reasoned anything. You've speculated, wildly in fact. Would you like to try again?

So you think they must be changing things, specifically the death penalty because they haven’t explicitly ruled it out? That’s the same as absence of evidence is your evidence, which is a logical fallacy. Surely you can do better.

Again you are not stating anything that shows that the UK is not a parliamentary democracy. You are just playing a game of whataboutism which is totally unproductive. We get that you’re convinced, but your argument is so weak that you can’t even explain your reasoning.

Nothing you have written changes the fact that the UK is a parliamentary democracy and we can vote parties in or out as we see fit. This post actually just looks like you’re trying to argue for the sake of arguing because you don’t actually make any relevant points other than people with money...
