It only takes three EU countries to beat 40 gold

I got to 70 before getting bored.

The suffering is real but the link to migration is entirely made up.

Not enough GPs for the population? They've retired.

Too much traffic? More and more people own cars and the entire country outside cities is designed to require them.

No home? Councils were banned from building them in the 80s of course we don't have enough housing.

giving an inch on the core anti migration argument is a mistake because it makes the action to actually fix these problems harder.
No action on migration can ever be enough because the racists want to kick every black person born here out, and the "legitimate concerns" crowd won't see any improvement in their lives and will keep demanding bigger and bigger action alongside them.

It's a private company and the only investor that matters is musk.

He's a hippie who likes talking to plants. There's a quote from thatcher implying the problem with the royals is they'd be SDP voters.

Sure they head the church and military but associating them with the right isn't really accurate

I'd like a massage, is that on offer?

I find massages very convincing

The idea that protest is about convincing people of something is such a daft idea, I don't understand where this comes from. Everyone seems to think it but I can't remember any protest, and especially any direct action protest where this has ever been the goal or the effect.

It's a fair point, thanks for the correction.

Not sure how I got the wrong impression, probably heard he'd been killed for being too woke or something.

People imagining something awful for years will be triggered when it finally (allegedly) happens but their fears are ultimately based on fearmongering.

Plenty of people are scared of the two assasinations of MPs by right wing lunatics.
Or that mosque pipe bombing Or lots of other things that happen over and over because of these problematic communities you mention. Do we really need to understand the hate and intolerance to punish it? I don't think so

To add to this for people who don't know, road wear scales at a power of 4 with the weight.

So if a vehicle is 2x as heavy it causes 16x as much damage to the road

Genociding yourself is an internal matter, even if you invade first so it becomes part of your country and then start the genociding.

Naming no names. You know who

police prosecutions in the UK are done very quietly, I'm not sure why but you're lucky to get one small story in the newspapers for even quite horrific crimes. There are perhaps not enough, but they do happen more than people generally think.

If I were in Iran's position I wouldn't be too happy about a road into central Asia for tanks to race down and a rail line to resupply them.
