    [Brighton] Crystal Palace Fan Labour Brighton Pavilion MP Candidate

    Yes, I'd agree with that. At some level, all things are human constructs and these change with time. My point is more that we are free to make our own constructs and it's quite hard to make others accept them. If there are no absolute truths (scientific facts) then it is perfectly feasible to...

    [Brighton] Crystal Palace Fan Labour Brighton Pavilion MP Candidate

    I agree with most of what you say, but this is a fallacy. We are all people and our minds don't have absolute reference points. We feel as we do, we have no idea what a "man" or a "woman" feels like to determine our feelings-based identity. There are many people who feel they are in the "wrong"...

    [Travel] Sentencing for 110mph wankpanzer driver. (Sorry can't find original thread)

    No, I don't think they will. I'm attending a funeral next week for someone who died in an RTA. However, being alive is inherently dangerous and we will all die of something. Some 5200+ (~14 per day) people in England will kill temselves over the next 12 months and alcohol killed 7556 (~21 per...

    [Travel] Sentencing for 110mph wankpanzer driver. (Sorry can't find original thread)

    Deaths on UK roads are very low compared to most other causes of avoidable death and speeding/dangerous driving is not a prominent feature in the cause - we mostly hear of people who become lunatics when it goes wrong. https://w3.unece.org/PXWeb/en/CountryRanking?IndicatorCode=48

    [Football] Matt Le Tissier

    Wait until they find out how analogue insulin is made, recombinant DNA grown on e-coli bacteria. I think many people have the idea that clinical trials are wholly undertaken by the pharma companies. Similarly, expectations of what a vaccine can do are often unrealistic. But is is also important...

    [Albion] Kaoru Mitoma original painting

    That's wonderful talent. This is excellent, I'm sure you could sell to commission. I hope that's part of your portfolio. 25 years ago, I commissioned a pair of paintings of the views from my then Yorkshire home. They cost me around £300 and I wish I had seen the artist's other work before I...

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    I really don't understand why housing benefit is payed on private rentals. If a landlord can make a profit from the property rental then surely the local authority can, even if it has to borrow to finance the property purchase - then it gains an asset. Any profit could be used to reduce rents. I...

    [Travel] Cars and congestion

    More motorbikes, smaller cars. I live out in the sticks and taking the bus can be problematic. I don't think increasing the frequency of buses is realistic here as there are insufficient users. Tax bigger cars more or incentivise smaller ones.
