Thank goodness I don't have twitter, just came across this: "Salman Abedi, like Khalid Masood, was born in UK. Closed borders would have prevented neither - both acts were committed by UK nationals." So ...

I know lol, ridiculous. How dare you to have lived a long and productive life!

The Rabbit Hole

Magog, Stu... I agree the system wasn't designed for people living so long. Something needs to be done about it. Why though, should people bother paying into the system at all if later in life you can not even use it. Part of the problem with ...

The Rabbit Hole

My initial reaction on reading it was 'wtf is this shit'. Having let it settle for a while, and reading the article again I'm less appalled. I do think it is a good idea that people pay for their own care, and it should in turn ease the burden on ...

The Rabbit Hole

My twitter position has taken off, which in some ways is a bit of a shame because I was hoping for lower so I could average down, but in other respects I'm glad it's moving in the right direction.

Question for others, do you consider Russia a police state, or China? How do you rate those two countries by comparison to say the UK or the USA?

Jen101 I swear lol.

Yeh it is a huge article. Never heard you say 'we live in a police-state with a democratic veneer' - I'll need to think about that for a while.

Still be dumb at 21? - almost certainly will be dumb lol. Legally in this country the point that decisions can be made as an adult is 18 is it not (Scotland exempt)? To allow you child to begin undergoing transgender treatment at 15/16 seems totally ...

The Rabbit Hole

France is one of the big net contributors to the EU (just like us), UK money funds the net deficit nations like Greece. The election looked like a foregone conclusion since the first round of presidential votes. I wasn't surprised Macron won but was ...

The Rabbit Hole

I feel quite strongly that this is wrong. url ...you are still a dumb kid at 15, parents should not be facilitating these decisions which might adversely impact them later on in life. People tend to be very different at 30 than they were at 15.

The Rabbit Hole

i have not been following the French election, apart from the occasional poll. Is macron looking to renegotiate free movement or something?

For Le Pen to win she would have to have an 11% swing. But the polls were wrong on Brexit and wrong on Trump, could be wrong again? 20 points is a big lead though. image

That might be the most revolting and offensive thing said yet in this thread lmao. As I get older my standards get lower, I'm saying this to demonstrate I'm not an overly fussy guy lol, but my standards would never EVER be low enough for her. She is ...
