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.

    • There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.
    • I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
    • Nearly a quarter of the way through the season. Week 9 points...   Week 9 table...  
    • The yoghurt was very sharp (not sure of right word) and  if memory serves quite runny. Nothing like the stuff sold now. There was pink as well. Strawberry? That must have had sugar in? Too new fangled for us, but my Auntie Grace down the road used to get it 😂 Well, you had to keep up to date. Sorry, couldn't resist.
