I see this over and over. Conservatives are for limited government. Just because we say we don't want government doing things where government is inept, counterproductive, wasteful or whatever, does not mean that we should shut it down totally.


Yes, we do need roads, bridges, power stations, motorways, jails, schools, the military, standard weights and measures, courts, etc etc. But not every aspect of the country's infrastructure needs to fall under the remit or stewardship of the government. The conservative view is that the government should be a useful servant of the people's needs. However, you give it too much money, power, authority it becomes the worst kind of master.

But those black sheep among the left who don't think much of socialism (or haven't yet been assimilated) are far outweighed by their 'comrades' who subscribe to and espouse its destructive ideology. And I disagree, in that from my experience most "proper liberals" (whatever that entails) do lean towards a big, all-powerful centralised government.

Liberals are not necessarily lefties. Liberals don't believe in big government. I'd suggest you get a better understanding of Liberalism before trying to start such a debate. At the moment it's all a bit silly.

    • The fact is, high spec phones are worth money. Be secure - passwords, face recognition, strong passwords for your banking etc.  Get your phones backed up. Get your phone insured. Don't fight if you are being robbed. It’s just a phone. Be safe. Annoying as it is, it’s prolific and you can take steps to minimise your chance of being targeted.
    • Your point being what? Kids in face masks all in black? Being going on in ED for years..  wake up, gangs are around or is this first time you have been aware.. No doubt your hubby walked away - probably ran when he felt safe..
    • Fine people for wearing face coverings??? Do you remember covid?
    • John recently installed our kitchen and has done a stellar job. He took a lot of care to make sure all of the details were right, in our Edwardian house that has very few straight lines. He worked really hard and attention to detail and problem solving was excellent. Highly recommend.    [email protected]   https://www.facebook.com/p/Top-Marx-Kitchens-100054431982311/?checkpoint_src=any
