It works. In the UK it’s not perfect, but it’s a gazillion times better than what the US has.

I assume nobody actually believes this nonsense, but that someone in authority has said this in a public forum is beyond credible.

We have an offence in UK law of ‘conspiracy to pervert the course of justice’. Just wondering if there is something similar in the US?

A type of practice that I find interesting historically is the rigorously untrue. Astrology, for instance, was often a very tightly defined practice with a seriously requirement of learning: it just wasn’t actually real.

I think you’ll find that private education is bought qualification, which is not the same thing. At least in this context.

Women's Institute. An organisation for women in the UK. It's always been very conservative, but I had thought they were starting to enter the 21st century. Seems like I was mistaken.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya. #sad 🤣

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

You are right, I didn’t consider N Ireland. But even so I still don’t remember that many ‘mass shootings’. Memory suggests bombings but either way any number is far too many.

Not wanting t get in an argument, but the figures for the UK seem unbelievable, speaking as a retired UK cop I can remember two or maybe three in the last fifty years. I accept that I might have missed some, but so many? I’d really like to see some detail, like what makes a mass shooting?

I don’t want to start a war or anything, BUT… Anyone who uses the phrase, ‘that’s just a theory’ about a scientific theory, clearly doesn’t understand that in science when the title of a theory is given to a concept, it indicates the highest possible level of certainty about that concept.
