  1. a lot of brexiters on Question Time last night complaining this isn't what they voted for Only it is - and when we we have pointed this out many many many times over the last 5 years were told "don't patronise me - I know exactly what I voted for!") but you can't have all of these competing brexits in peoples heads - because as soon as brexit takes ANY material form, it is unrecognisable to most of those who voted for it "for other reasons" And in the meantime while they continue with their selfish tantrums, the country and the union take a battering
  2. "which I suspect most of us have long been aware of, that "women are killed largely by their intimate partners"." correct and I did know that but absolutely banjaxed my own point - my own fault
  3. "I?m not sure this is very fair. Many boys and men are victims of random attacks." rereading that, I'm inclined to agree. I was trying to make a point - and failed
  4. it isn't a contentious subject - women are far more at risk than men. You've decided that man v man and man v women should be some sort of equal debate why do "you" have to make it personal - that will be mostly you "Sigh...what a ridiculous, hyperbolic and petty. response." "Pot. Kettle." You do have an agenda - it's why you started this thread "Oh and cliches are cliches for a reason. And that one was very appropriate." gibberish spouted to make you feel better but I beg you - stop pretending that men vs women in terms of deaths, violence or abuse is even stevens
  5. spouting trite cliches gives you nothing Cat. Nothing Make your case or don't start provocative threads
  6. as KK says - you and your all lives matter "Does expressing concern for men's deaths in anyway lessen concern for women's deaths or violence against them" yes it does lessen concern for women's deaths - because they are not happening in same way, or for same reasons. And you just aren't engaging with that at all. The moment to moment fear for women is not even same ballpark as men - and it isn't because they don't handle fear as well as men
  7. Cat - I think your thread, even the title of it, and your whole tone is petty KK is absolutely spot on here - you claim "genuine question" but you will not listen and will argue to the last over something that is so strikingly obvious to anyone with objectivity.
  8. By random I?m going to say ?she wasn?t expecting this attack. She wasn?t in some turf war with some rival. She hadn?t dissed him in front of his mates in the pub.? Im not claiming for a FACT. just the general profile of these killings and general attacks on women It was a bloke unhappy with a woman. A lot of it around. Men going ?but men get attacked too? have zero clue
  9. Regardless of who is dying, men are doing the killing We are the problem here The men who die? Usually in dispute with other men The women who die? Random unprovoked attacks Edited to add that after several people picked me up on how wrong my last line was here, I'm not standing by this last line - see responses further down
  10. ? In a book I read recently on boosting creativity, a male creative says he goes for long late night solo walks at 10pm around local parks and canals to stir up ideas. IMAGINE? Men have no idea how lucky they are compared to women when it comes to casual safety
  11. Oh man. I think I?m just going to have to accept I screwed up on this one. I don?t think she has said this. I think it was a parody - all to believable given tone of actual govt comms. But totally my bad. I should have checked harder
  12. So we need 6 figure numbers of drivers to come here and help out So we will be grateful right? ?Home Secretary @pritipatel announces 3 month Visas for 5000 drivers & then sets up task force to deport EU lorry drivers who remain U.K. after 24th Dec-She said ?It is a special privilege for lorry drivers to be able come here & work & it shouldn?t be abused?🇬🇧🙈
  13. I see that today the govt are pivoting from ?eu has a shortage of truck drivers too!!? To ?But yeah we need some of their drivers so will allow them to come here. For a bit. Just for a bit mind. Don?t get comfortable? Remains to be seen if they will accept such a graceful invitation
  14. Well shoot. Why didn?t anyone tell me it was going to be this much fun!
  15. well, this isn't good https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/sep/23/bp-rations-petrol-and-diesel-deliveries-to-its-service-stations
  16. I think I have been part of the conversation. Back on previous page. But yeah I have kind of left people too it as they seem happy to ignore the elephant in the room and operate on a parochial level. But you can?t big yourself up like you did and not expect some blowback, surely?
  17. BBC and co spend a lot of time interviewing and quoting Patrick Minford too. He also thinks he knows a lot. It just happens to be the opposite of what majority of his peers think
  18. I'm in agreement that Brexit has little to nothing to do with the cause it will have a lot to do with how we recover My point was more about the fact that there was a time when the government was looking ahead and planning - and decided to ignore any warning signs
  19. Let's have a look at how the government planned for this shall we? Back when Brexit had yet to happen, but was being factored into decisions (ha - remember those heady days!) Anyway - interesting thread here:
  20. at some point, the voters are going to have to hold this government responsible for all the bad decisions they make
  21. and we can call it a pint again after 40 years of the EU forcing us to call it 586ml
  22. This country is weird
  23. ?Students of my posts? Mother of god
  24. Same old same old Eu will fall apart rhetoric. Barnier has always been a right wing politician with his immigration line He was a negotiator on behalf of 27 Eu countries in Brexit. Why can?t you see the difference? There is no Damascene conversion There is no frexit (even le penn backed away from that notion) There is no Eu falling apart You are an anti-immigrant one note pony and that?s it. That?s all you got
  25. ? No more EU smoke and mirrors? Anyone know what this even means? More bizarre than his usual comments.
