So a few dodgy tweets and an ageist assumption on competence from a fully grown man making videos to sub 1k people in his basement. Fair play to them for going into public service.

I don’t know about this. Reform are much broader than migration if people bother to look - their economics, for instance, which is unfunded balls. But it is a policy structure. It’s one of the main reasons amongst the people which drives me away. It’s their voters who only talk about immigration not the party officials IMO. The second gentleman saying they’ve gone into councils and it’s shown them up and they don’t know what to do; it’s been all of five minutes. To judge a council’s performance so critically in such a short amount of time screams pre-judged bias.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
SotonianWill replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Whether we’re paying the price is up and down. Most of these would be good points if only there hadn’t been governments between 1990 and today. To say Thatcher is why this country is in the sh1t is lazy. Council housing, as one of example: why did the Labour govt of Blair build less stock per year than even Thatcher? They kept the right to buy policy intact, despite being less generous with grants. Regarding the ANC and S. 28, I don’t see the relevance today. More mines were shut under Wilson, at least double that of Thatcher, with many, similar to the 80s, not given redeployment. British steel has always been uncompetitive. I support nationalisation with a view to a sunset clause but see it through security - but generally, how is continually proving up failing subsidised business a great thing in your eyes? Water privatisation we’re feeling the force of now. Once again govts since Thatcher should’ve done more. The poll tax is the big one, which, amongst other factors, has certainly made the union weaker. But devolution to a certain extent isn’t a bad thing. To blame Thatcher solely for all troubles is lazy oversimplification and a wool over the eyes treatment to the previous 40 years. -
The Reform-Hokey-Pokey continues. Yusuf returns to the cult. Having still been a Tory until recently - even when platforming Reform - he’s used to being a bit confused. He would be converted many times on the way to Damascus.

University research on the influence of Andrew Tate on masculinity
SotonianWill replied to theacademic's topic in The Lounge
Andrew Tate’s masculinity is the result of the liberal world where sleeping with anyone who breathes is socially okay, whilst making money from pornographic content is seen as empowering, and where materialist possessions are everything. Ah, the liberal world we live in. He is the ultra liberal. He just doesn’t realise it - no different from the soy-sippers he jokes about. The product of full emancipation from social responsibility. -

I just completed the questionnaire #beta -
In all fairness, we have more claim to it than they do. Even their airfield (now airport) is in our name; Woolston being the true home of the Supermarine factory, now flats, like all things these days. Titanic is a no go as it’s a tragic moment in our great city’s history with over a third of those perishing being locals - not that anyone on this thread needs reminding. Other options - Queen Mary?
