Interesting Johnl, Science has made great advancements and continued to learn, it seems the only thing that is absolute (im assuming this means no room for another way to observe it) is change, which is pretty exciting if we can recognise that without it taking away what has been found and allowing different observations.

I found the word "cognitive dissonance" used in an article today :) double points surely as he also uses "democratic deficit"


"until recently I owned shares in some of the most polluting companies in the world. My discovery of the fossil fuel divestment campaign made it clear that my cognitive dissonance on this issue was far from an isolated case. "

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him

      It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?

      I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
