I've heard thousands of climate denial arguments over the last few decades. But do you know they all fall into one of 5 categories? 1. It's not real 2. It's not us 3. It's not bad 4. We can't fix it 5. You can't trust the info/experts Source: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There's no hint of self-awareness or comprehension of why what he did was wrong. True accountability requires individuals who have caused harm to accept responsibility for the impact of their actions and actively participate in making amends and prevent future occurrences.

Isn't this legislation just rolling back the changes of the 1988 housing act? Ever-increasing house prices and cheap credit allowed for the rise in "amateur" or "accidental" landlords, who might own one or two properties as an alternative to investing in the stock market for their retirement.

Today the two-child limit is gone. Parents have told us what this will mean for their kids: - A first-ever birthday party for a 10-year-old - Better quality food - Clothes that aren't completely worn out - Going on the school trip without getting into debt - A new mattress - Swimming lessons

In many cases, the act of saying you will do something is just as good as actually doing it. I use this approach at work, to great effect. It brings to mind the dialogue from the finale of Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Mikado"...

Dialogue from the finale of Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Mikado".

It's like this: When your Majesty says, "Let a thing be done," it's as good as done — practically, it is done — because your Majesty's will is law. Your Majesty says, "Kill a gentleman," and a gentleman is told off to be killed. Consequently, that gentleman is as good as dead — practically, he is dead — and if he is dead, why not say so?

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk, I'm a member of the Lib Dems, and you need to be better than this. Since the early 1970's, the £5 note has featured pictures of the Duke of Wellington, George Stephenson, Elizabeth Fry and now Winston Churchill. It's perfectly normal to change the picture periodically.

For example, The Telegraph headline was "Murder rate lowest in 40 years as more people stay at home", is meant to bemoan the fact that it's the decline in drunken nights out that has led to drop in fatal stabbings. However, the statistics show that the majority of murders take place in the home.

Female homicide victims were most likely to be killed in or around a house or dwelling, and male victims in public places

Lowest murder rate in 49 years across England and Wales. You wouldn't know it though, because the right-wing press wants you to believe everything is going to sh*t. www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...
