What makes the UK different? Its war experiences and its lack of wars/invasions. We havent been invaded in 1000 years and that is down to Geography and that strip of water called the channel, which also plays a big part in mentality.

'Now what are the Libdems for?' Liberalism. We are actually the most consistent party in terms of what we stand for but we are terrible at communicating it.

Sorry but they do. Ignoring facts doesnt help your argument.

'The real issue is income/wealth distribution, not young v old.' It is but you cant avoid the fact that the majority of wealth is held by older people who tend to vote for parties who dont do wealth distribution. e.g. 2024.

I welcome any change to the triple lock but I think Burnham has got it the wrong way round. I have no problem with pensions rising in line with wages as its wages and workers that pay for it. What I have a problem with is pensions rising in line with inflation when wages do not

Falklands does need to player straighter bat though, why on earth is an Israeli company drilling for oil in Falklands?

Glostermeteor 🔶 @glostermeteor.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

What proceeds? They dont own the oil/gas fields. In fact the proceeds will partly go DIRECTLY to Norway!

And an emergency supply source isnt an emergency supply when it is owned by foreign interests.

'So in India they show you the names and borders India says. And in Pakistan they show the names and borders Pakistan says.' Apart from the fact they dont in many cases. e.g. this is a tiny bit of Ireland called Derry/Londonderry, a v contentious issue in Irish history. This is what the map shows.

The tech companies can no longer be trusted to be arbiters of our lives. This whole ridiculous Trump Lake America thing. There is now one version of the truth if you are in the US and another if you are outside it. What else will they do this with? The Great Firewall of America.

Glostermeteor 🔶 @glostermeteor.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The reality is there is a Great Firewall of America now, as a European outside of the US I do not see the same thing.

Glostermeteor 🔶 @glostermeteor.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

As a European I do not see this on Google Maps, which means you now have a Great Firewall of America (like the firewall of china). 2 versions of the truth depending on where you are. Americans need to hang their heads in collective shame, and the tech companies shamed for their complicity.

There are a few based on android but they havent really reached mass market. I used to use Lineage a bit on some of my older devices.

Google Maps right now for me. Is it specific to Americans?

At least Google hedge their bets.....

He is a completely self absorbed egotist, and the problem is the American public and their beloved tech companies go along with his crazed ideas. This is google maps right now.....

We do now. And its not looking good....

There are certainly riots, criminality and violence in most major cities but this was of a whole different level. You dont have pogroms with organised gangs firebombing ppl out of their homes based on their ethnicity in most other European cities.

I think the biggest takeaways fot me are that money matters, and there is virtually no difference between academies and non academies, probably because its the money and investment that matters.

If you want to reduce the attacks on MPs then MPs need to grow a pair and put a leash on the RW media elites.

Instead they mass excluded kids from school and introduced stupid rules of 6 and 'substantial meals' so ppl could keep boozing

Should kept schools open and completely shut down hospitality.

Sorry but this is all hypocrisy, 2 of scotland's largest football clubs, one sold off to American investors another listed on the stock market. And many more corporatised abominations north and south of the border. Reality is football has been for sale for a v long time, and you only just noticed?

'Migration is at/near the top of public concern' And why do you think that is.......decades of misinformation.

So basically Burnham is paying for his pledges by gutting net zero. Its just robbing Peter to pay Paul. While investing in public transportation is certainly a good thing, it will come at the expense of actually transitioning away from fossil fuels.

Whats weirder is the fact that us English invented the word 'soccer'.

How the BBC can write this article and not understand the basics of the UK health system is quite something e.g. Last time I checked GPs were their own private practises and not run by the state. And that is part of the problem www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'by taxing the wealthy' A) who do you think wealthy tend to be? Older people generally. B) who do you think consistently votes not to tax the rich? Older people. When Older people turn out in their droves to vote left then then they can rightly moan abt the triple lock being taken away. Until then

When pensioners start voting to raise taxes on corps and wealth then you might have some sort of an argument.

010

Glostermeteor 🔶 @glostermeteor.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

At every level of income (whether rich or poor) pensioners out earn those who are working, so rich pensioners are richer than rich workers, poor pensioners are richer than poor workers. As for taxing corps/wealth, guess who votes not to do that? Yep you guessed it pensioners

The current political divide is really about age and education. And its time Labour recognised this.

Its not a change to our approach. Do both

That starts with scrapping the triple lock. And making it easier for people to save for occupational pensions. If you invested £1000 aged invested age 20 and put in £100 per month, you wd have a pension pot larger than the value of the state pension at 65.
