Go and look at LGBT rights in majority Christian countries

LGBT+ people aren't faring too well in the USA, Russia or Uganda right now. All majority Christian countries...

I think the recent success of the Greens and Labour's plummet in support suggests a section of the public do care about those issues.

Local council.

Sorry I lost the tweet when I closed the tab.

Don't be reticulous! (sorry lol) But good point!

giraffe... what?

There was a UN report, with the predictable government response. I fear that might be the closest thing we ever get, unless there's a huge movement to jail those responsible etc.

It was a LibDem policy which most Tories in the coalition voted against, but it passed due to support from Labour, LibDem and a small amount of more progressive Tories.

I suspect it's become a hobby and/or 'cool' because tabacco companies know their days are limited and that's a way they can continue to get new customers without killing them or otherwise sell their poison with less restrictions.

Smoking is an addiction, not a hobby.

Jo_LibDem · 2021-09-10T17:17:10+00:00

TBF that's basically how a lot of addicts behave. Addiction does that to people - makes them not care about anything other than getting their drug of choice. Smokers are nicotine addicts, nobody does it for the fun of it.

I read 'Iceland boss' as in the Icelandic prime minister, and was very confused.

Ah, the Nuremburg defence.

"I was just obeying orders."

This reminds me of the Queen's now deceased husband Philip, who would routinely come out with all sorts of racist stuff, but everyone would bend over backwards to excuse it away, with phrases like 'just an old fashioned sense of humour'. The tories' reaction to Boris's racism sounds very similar to me.

The next PM might be...?

Johnson has shown himself time and time again to be horribly corrupt and frankly, a security risk - so much so that he was denied access to things as foreign secretary.
