Yes, but odd how it takes a ‘far right’ march before anything happens. Banning face covering should be implemented nationwide IMO.

If I was right leaning I'd probably say that too. 

Agreed re the second part.

Was there the same 'energy' from the Govt to ban face coverings at these protests?

 

I think the law was changed in January, long before the Pompey retards decided to cover their faces.

Some bloke at the protest in Portsmouth wears a burqa and tells the police he’s gender fluid and identifies as a Muslim woman 😁😁

Does he have a bell?

Didn't he already try the gender thing when he was caught sniffing the seats in the ladies bogs?

Such a joy filled person. You sound so depressed I’m sure it’s a struggle to get out of bed in the morning. Hope Saints can cheer you up today

I am right. That’s the problem. You can throw insults etc, but I am right and the fruits of their labour are obvious. 

It is very easy to leave the country these days if you are wealthy. 

Capital gains tax, inheritance tax, the government treating your money like it is their bank account and lefties demonising your wealth are all incentives to go.

There is also an international market for wealthy people, with smart governments offering them incentives for residency.

A forward thinking government knows this and will incentivise the best to stay (and come back if they have left.)

No amount of whining will change these facts. A failure to recognise them will only make you poorer & the country worse.

Do you think ChatGPT would be honest with him if he asked the question ‘what is my IQ?’

All fair points. Not of the responses to your post have actually successfully challenged what you said, in fact I don’t know what the objective of the the responses are. Multiple mocking responses don’t make what you’ve said incorrect because it’s all factually incorrect and most rationale people acknowledge and understand that.
