I didn't search Twitter or Facebook or the Guardian to find Starmer's lie over the COVID vaccines, it was live on TV for all to see. You must be the oldest "angry young man" on the forum, and your attempts at stirring up hatred in the minds of others are exactly what is going on in the media in general. Some reading for you.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/11/newt-gingrich-says-youre-welcome/570832/The current angry politics started a generation ago on the American right. It now infects the right of British politics.That was and is a deliberate policy to make people angry. All I've ever done is call it out, with evidence every time. You think that must mean that the other side is equally bad. That says more about you than anything else.Your fixation with never once criticising a pathological liar of a PM, or the current mob that offer nothing but hate and Culture War says it all.Instead, you obsessively say Starmer lied in Parliament, when the fact is he made a mistake when responding to concerted and prolonged baiting by Johnson's team who WERE lying. And he corrected the record immediately.People like you who steadfastly refuse to criticise liars and frauds and hate mongers are the reason why our politics is in such a hole, whatever sanctimonious stuff you might write about it.

Hey Syd last year when you were on your Sabbatical did they let you out early on licence ? Just asking for a friend!
Good reminder kato, the honesty writ large on the side of the but ₤350m for the NHS, can't remember whether that was per second or not though.

It wasn't only on the side of a bus Syd, it was also on a banner at a rally he gave in support of leave - loud and clear. Wonder why it never happened?

Another example of zero-sum closed-system economy thinking from the Brexit campaign.

Another example of zero-sum closed-system economy thinking from the Brexit campaign.NC.They never actually believed that. Oh the Leave voters fell for it of course, but the politicians who ran the campaign never believed it. They knew it was a lie. Cummings is on record as saying why they did it. They did it because they knew the Remain side had to argue that it was a lie, but in doing so, it only attracted more attention to it. And Cummings and the rest were banking in enough people being too thick to know it was a lie.See, BB talks his high minded talk about standards in political discussion. But there was a plain and simple lie, right there, which quite likely tipped the balance in the most important vote in a century. A lie that was consciously peddled to knock the other side off their axis. And he's frequently defended it.

Is it ok to ask now about the 40 new hospitals?
Oh sproty lad, just think of me as a cousin that has a couple of passports with residency rights to more countries
We can still visit the 27 countries with one passport. As far as I am aware you only show your passport at the 1st country you visit, but even if you had to show it at all 27 it's still just one passport

Had that right, don’t miss it, never would have used it, quite happy, other people, well that’s their issue

If you, as you say, wouldn't have ever used it then why would you decry that opportunity to others, such as my Grandchildren. And for what? Got any tangible Brexit benefits yet?

Individuals can and still do, what's the issue?
