This one looks very confusing atm.
There’s certainly a common theme of Islamic attacks being the most prevalent. Years ago I’d have said that the Catholic Church was the worst of the organised religions. That’s shifted quite dramatically. |

I’m not dismissing the concerns but if that’s the story from 10 years ago I don’t think it’s very reliable.
I may be thinking of the wrong one, mind. [Post edited 21 Dec 16:10]

I wouldn’t say it’s that simple but an awful lot of truth, there. |

Exactly right.
It’s so depressingly obvious how this will unfold over the next few days with one side licking their lips as they blame each other and stir up more hate.
To some extent it doesn’t mater if this animal turns out to be anti-Islam, far right or far left, it’s extremism in all its forms that is the problem in these awful attacks. |

I’m 46 so my state pension age is 67.
I benefited from free school travel, free university (I was the last year of grants), low cost student loans and a 100% mortgage to buy a flat that was 3 times my wage.
Many of these things are not available for young people now yet we keep asking them to pay. For longer.
What has surprised me is the confusion for many on how the state pension works. It’s not a personal savings pot and in some ways it does equate to what you put in.
I thought this was common knowledge but I was wrong.
None of this means I think the lesion is a benefit or high enough. |

Governments al ways over estimate savings but I think there will still be a pretty substantial saving.
As for the farmers, I think it’s more about closing the loophole than raising cash straight away which is a good step IMO.
Look how quiet Clarkson has gone since his own words were put to him? |

I’d say in the main that’s due to the breakdown in community.
I seem to have upset a few on here by my comments on WFA and WASPI.
For clarification all I’ve really said is that although I think the cut off for WFA is too low, it shouldn’t be a universal benefit (I feel the same about child benefit).
As for WASPI I think that there are better things to spend £10 billion on when services are under such strain.
I also always push back on the young people bashing that pops up on here. |

I totally agree with you and the videos AJ shared are worrying and should be dealt with.
However, they are different to multiple parks with long term signage that are being enforced.
I asked where these are and it seems they don’t.
We should definitely prevent that from happening, though. |

I’m surprised how little coverage Saudi getting the World Cup has got.
Qatar must have paved the way.
I find it pretty depressing. |

No issue with older people at all.
I just think when difficult choices have to be made, the pain has to be spread around. |

I can’t.
I’ve no idea who their MP’s would be and their manifesto is fantasy.
The bits I’m really interested in are a joke. |

I agree, it’s bad.
But it wasn’t in the manifesto where party takes precedence. Not saying i think it’s ok.
Unfortunately being in opposition means you can promise whatever you like. Look at what Reform are doing. |

It’s one of the many issues with party politics.
A number of individual Labour now MPs came out in support of WASPI but it wasn’t in the manifesto the party was elected on.
Personally in not in support of it so I’m ok with the party decision. |

It's worth bookmarking this as although there are some genuine issues highlightes, it's mostly a list they Guido Fawkes has collated about things they highlight as 'cold' happen. using selectes quotes and syrvys from big buisness et al.
We'll see in 5 years how much has come true. |
