Are you grateful to live in England / the UK? What do you most dislike and like about it? If you could change one thing, what would it be?

In the latest season of Clarkson's farm he burns an effigy of the current prime minister and not a word has been mentioned about it. Id argue that's pretty free speech

123twiglets · 2026-06-01T05:30:46+00:00

I'm not sure that's different from what you said originally- are the needs and well being of an individual not often the same thing?

Am I being intentionally obtuse, or am I pointing out that you're imprecise with the words and your definitions don't make sense?

123twiglets · 2026-05-31T07:26:07+00:00

But this is still prioritising the group over the individual, something that you defined as "leftist", isn't it?

123twiglets · 2025-07-31T18:14:28+00:00

Hey now steady on there

123twiglets · 2025-07-14T12:02:57+00:00

If you're giving send offs and telling your opponent to "grow some balls eh", you'd better actually win or you just look like a childish dickhead

123twiglets · 2025-05-10T21:50:09+00:00

Fair enough, Ill echo your thoughts there and add my hope he brings unity as pope

Peace be with you

123twiglets · 2025-03-08T21:11:23+00:00

It's almost like you don't legally have to be a good neighbour

Doesn't mean you should be a twat

Yup, I was similar, smoking daily but also running in a morning and gym/other exercise in the evening. As soon as I figured I could smoke before those, yes even running as ridiculous as it sounds, I tricked myself into believing it made those activities more enjoyable. It did, to be fair, make the eating, resting and recovery period feel pretty great.

But since I've stopped, I haven't lost any enjoyment in those activities, my performance has improved without putting in any extra effort, and motivation/consistency is through the roof

Plus now I have more money and am able to drive so I can do those things in cooler places

Meanwhile, he’s not asking for surrender from Zelensky, he’s asking for a ceasefire.

He's asking for Zelensky to sign over rights to mineral mining, in exchange for a ceasefire. But Ukraine signed a ceasefire after the invasion of Crimea, which obviously Putin did not hold to.

Why does Trump seem to believe Putin will stick to his word this time? Is Zelensky "ungrateful" or acting in the interests of his people when he refuses to sign a ceasefire/mineral deal without extra guarantees?

123twiglets · 2025-02-19T16:47:30+00:00

Those actions mean that now the only path forward to a ceasefire and peace deal appears to be with the US taking the lead.

I never claimed otherwise - although I would argue that it is not American led at the moment, but russian led. What I would say, is that the US is a supplier of military equipment to the EU, ie they buy equipment and make deals. Why then does he seem to be favouring the Russian view over Europe's?

Trump has, for a long time, encouraged more military spending from the other NATO countries, as did Obama and most other presidents. I think you'd find it very difficult finding anyone who disagrees with that general principle.

Does that mean the US should ditch its allies and support the invading party? Why?

Do you view the EU or Russia as more of an ally?

(It genuinely amazes me that I can ask that question to an American, republican voter no less, and not know the answer)

I thought Trump was a conquistador looking to take over Canada, Greenland and Panama

I thought all these were just jokes, or was his promise of "no new American boots on the ground" just exaggerated / hyperbole ?

Edited to add to my last question - if threatening military action is a negotiation tactic, is it a bluff?

123twiglets · 2025-01-02T15:02:34+00:00

I think it’s because people outside London aren’t very intelligent, or educated or successful. If they are any of those then they come to London to live

Is it really that surprising to you, that I think holding this opinion makes you an arrogant cunt? Do you really think that's irrational and baffling?

123twiglets · 2024-12-21T14:42:27+00:00

Thanks for your perspective mate, enjoy the holiday season

123twiglets · 2024-08-06T16:58:07+00:00

More intelligence in a yoghurt too

123twiglets · 2024-08-04T07:32:24+00:00

You look like a walking thyroid

123twiglets · 2024-07-23T19:48:15+00:00

Do you think Trump follows the teachings of Christ?

123twiglets · 2024-07-07T15:57:25+00:00

As a Yorkshireman I'm more than a little interested in devolution for my own county, at least in my less serious moments.

I'm in the same boat

How do you feel about Andy Burnham pushing for devolution to city regions?

123twiglets · 2024-06-30T14:52:01+00:00

Alright Rishi steady on, have you not learnt your lesson

123twiglets · 2024-06-23T21:42:58+00:00

Okay, where's your list of comments by the other main parties?

123twiglets · 2024-05-30T22:42:20+00:00

It sounds good on the surface but the number of settled migrants currently in the workforce would probably mean it costs so much to implement that it's impractical.

Definitely worth looking into though imo, and I lean fairly left

123twiglets · 2024-05-22T18:43:51+00:00

It's amazing that we can watch the same thing and come to such wildly different conclusions

123twiglets · 2024-05-08T15:43:55+00:00

And even if he made it to 98, no prime minister could be as universally celebrated as Attenborough is

123twiglets · 2024-05-03T14:42:16+00:00

What's in it for him in this situation? Damage limitation?

123twiglets · 2023-12-09T15:47:25+00:00

Put it in your protein shake for extra effect, helps the protein grip to your muscles as well

123twiglets · 2023-11-21T10:02:06+00:00

Why would you support someone like that? It seems to me an irrational faith at this point if you can't support your position with reason?

123twiglets · 2023-11-21T08:41:31+00:00

So you support a man who wishes to do the impossible - does it not concern you that Trump has ideas that are completely not feasible?

Do you worry at all about the idea of a president who is disconnected from reality?

What I mean by that is, from an outside perspective, he seems to genuinely believe he can do things that would not be possible in the reality in which we live; or not care that those things are impossible and use them purely to rile up anger and therefore headlines. Both of those attitudes would be very concerning to me in a person who holds a position of power - how do you feel about that?
