I have never argued for more immigration. Check all my posts if you like. I argue for tax funded employer of last resort. On house price inflation: i think green belt policy, low stamp duty rate and lack of long term mortgage deals are the drivers.

I was going to cite wikipedia but I just remember that you don't like them much. What I am saying is we are all patriotic to whether the country you are born in or have chosen to build your life in. In the latter case, you are patriotic to more than one country. Nationalism on the other hand is...

The policy started with Thatcher in 1979. I did not know then that the tories identified home owners as most likely tory voters. It's only when I first heard the word jerrymandering in W1 that I understood MT's strategy. As most home owners, I was pleased to see my house going up in value...

The shortage of housing is wilfully implemented by the tories to push up house price.

Patriotism is a love for one’s country and a willingness to defend it against enemies. Nationalism is an extreme form of patriotism that emphasizes the superiority of one’s country over all others. Nationalism can lead to aggressive foreign policies and conflict, whereas patriotism fosters unity...

I can see your point but the damage done by incitements to violence impacts the lives of hundreds of thousand if not millions of people. There was an article somewhere last week that tells a story along this line: give the police a few PCs, in a day, they find hundreds more people to arrest than...

Most efficient way to stop the riots: apply swift justice to a few keyboard warriors.

I agree but governments have to stop the riots no matter what.

he just winds us up. He knows we'll react.

And speedy justice.

Sunak has quietly dealt with immigration issues. Family visas reduced by about 40%, student visas reduced a bit, work visas salary threshold nearly doubled. If we cooperate with the EU for a Pan-european solution, we can solve the small boats problem too. Starmer seems to have the rioters under...

Not nothing though. You can use logic to discard the propaganda element from top sources. If you discard them all, you are left with mostly opinion pieces, difficult to fact check.

it's the rise of christian nationalists, like those who follow Trump until the end of the earth. They are here in Europe all over. The distance between 'far right' and CN is fairly small.

If I get your argument right, they were told to vote remain by both Labour and Conservative, so they rebelled and voted leave. They are against what they voted for, so they are remainers really. I don't buy this. And now what are they being told that they don't like? That they should not destroy...

LFP batteries don't explode but still burn. This is because they don't produce oxygen when entering thermal runaway.

I read your post yesterday and meant to reply sooner. There is the Riot Compensation Act but is that fair or just that we all have to pay for the damages and not the rioters? When you say 'every time they complain', most of us always have something to complain about but we don't resort to...

No.

In your view, who should pay for the damage to roads, vehicles, shop windows etc?

I think it happened to be Sunderland. Some group makes a suggestion then others join in. You can see some wore a kind of uniform in grey track suit, grey top, grey hood making the job harder for the police to pick out the individuals from videos. Those guys can just as easily travel to Amsterdam...

what point to prove? That the wokes run the country and not them? They were waiting for an excuse to spend their weekend fighting. That's not a sport.
