It's a rout - is the old order on the way out?

[CXRAndy]

Because of weak politicians, not following it through decisively.

You can't take UK debt alone all the majority G7 economies have pretty much followed the same debt trajectory

 

[CXRAndy]

You are probably right about the disillusionment felt with the performance of our politicians, but do you really believe that this inexperienced bunch of misfits and grifters in Reform, who have so far been able to make a pile of promises with no responsibility at all to enact them will be any different when faced with the restrictions of operating within financial, constitutional and legal restraints?

What can possibly go wrong?

They have nothing left to lose. One after the other, UK governments have ignored their people

I believe if an alien ran for parliament it would do better than Labour or the Tories

Our politicians have not served the British people well for most of this century and deserve a metaphorical kicking, but one way or the other, people will find out what they have to lose if they vote for Reform.

I wish them well but suspect it would not work out as they hope.

‘May be’ covers a lot from very little chance to almost certainly, so you’re on strong ground there.

That's helpful 😉

 

[Stevo 666]

Me neither, I didn't vote.*
My question to @Stevo 666 was rhetorical.

He thinks I can't answer his question when obviously his argument is, shall we say, the argument a Reform voter might come up with/be taken in by.

* No election in my area.

I suppose you could say who you voted for last time you voted. Unless you're feeling a bit shy.

 

[Rusty Nails]

That's helpful 😉

As helpful as using the words "may be".

To quote an expert:

Do you have any evidence to support that view?

Otherwise

I'll have to assume its a load of rightiebollox.

Sometimes its good to for you to realise where we are talking about subjective opinions, as above 🙂

Well I never realised that.

And I thought everyone was convinced they were spouting incontrovertible facts on here.

Eco-populism anyone?
'In 2013, the Sun ran an article which recounted that Polanski, then a hypnotherapist, had promised to use the technique to try to enlarge a female client’s breasts'
Sounds like the sort of bloke who could appeal to a certain type of voter.

Sounds quite the story doesn't it! And it would be if he'd used hypnotherapy as a means to assault her. But he didn't. He used hypnotherapy as an attempt to make her happier with her body the way that it was rather than going for surgery.

He nonetheless apologised despite having caused no harm.

I saw that. Faragism has taken hold of cons and labs and now this twät is bringing it to the greens. FFS.

Sounds safe to say that in 2013 at least the man was a total charlatan.

No. You are not privvy to what his client asked him to achieve. If he was approached and asked if hypnotherapy could improve her acceptance of her body without resorting to surgery, and he attempted that, where is the harm? Had he taken the opportunity to assault her, that would be another matter entirely. If he was not qualified to use hypnotherapy, again that would be another matter.

Do you know if he managed to help her, or not?
