I can only imagine you are being ironic Poirot/UTS as the Convid MRNA vaccine (that most felt compelled to take either by propaganda or coercion) had no long term data as it was rushed out in 8 months, when most vaccines take 6-10 years.
Will you change your name again as more truth emerges and MLT, Lambert etc are proved right all along or more likely you will need to wait until our moral guardians, the BBC tells you it's not misinformation anymore ? Why don't you go and support Leicester and then you can be really proud of Linaker - I think he's your level of risk.
I haven't got time or the inclination to go through all these, but democratic countries have also been and are guilty of all these things, but even our own country that you probably consider a beacon of light in a dark world would be guilty.
The unnecessary vaccine roll out for C19 has killed and maimed many.
Julian Assange was a political prisoner held by US/UK for 5 years for dissenting.
Snitch culture was encouraged during c19
UK is one of the most heavily surveiled countries in the world.
Why would they close down newspapers when they own them? Many independents are finding themselves de-platformed or shadow banned or accounts frozen for "wrong think".
A 2 party, first past the post system is a kind of rigging - just more sophisticated.
Look, It's great that you are so in love with democracy and can't see any problems and I'm sure it's better than living in China, but my experience and reading of it is not the same as yours. That's it really Ian, relax and enjoy the rest of your day.
I think kids can see that national sovereignty is losing its importance and I agree this is regrettable, but this is down to exactly the kind of globalist takeover that you refuse to accept is happening.
On principles ahead of money we are in agreement, but that may look different to Tony than it does to you, on the other hand he may be a money grabbing mercenary, I don't know, I can't judge his heart.
I think my friend the onus is on you to find a modern day democratically elected leader that was/is a huge resounding success - I will put some names out there to make it easier for you; Boris, Trump, Biden, Truss, Trudeau, Macron, is that enough for you?
Kernow Darling, I thought we were having a nice little chat about literature, but you just wanted to dive straight into politics I see.
Democracy or autocracy? On the surface, democracy obviously, but it spawned Hitler through that process whereas Ataturk, an autocrat is still loved and revered by most Turks today, so a benevolent leader is probably the best option, but they could be hard to find!
The bigger issue though is who controls the puppetitions? In a two party (uniparty) system this effectively amounts to an autocracy, as pre-set policy agenda of any importance rarely changes as this is decided at a supranational level, in places like the UN, WHO, WEF and Bilderberg.
Aldous's grandfather Thomas was known as "Darwin's bulldog", such was his enthusiasm for evolution and his grandson Julian, Aldous's brother is known as the "father of transhumanism". The link between the two views is obvious when you think about it.
Brave New World is predictive programming, softening up the masses for their preferred future. You can see the same themes in that other renowned Eugenicist advocate H G Wells in his novels.
But democracy in UK and US for example is the choice between 2 alternating parties provided by the regime that are ultimately controlled by the same people behind the scenes, who also control the Press, the legislature and the Judiciary.
These 2 parties can continually blame each other and take a rest between stints of mis-governance. This has the appearance of being better than autocracy, but amounts to the same thing.
Thank you Ian. Bias though is built in to all statistics, it is inevitable, so there may well be truth in there, but it means little to me. A quick search reveals "Freedom House" is behind these stats and this is a counter review;
Conclusion: Freedom House’s consistent pattern of bias and partisanship favoring left-of-center democrats over right-of-center democrats in country after country cannot be denied. In no sense is the organization objective or neutral. There is no reason why conservatives in America and throughout the West should consider Freedom House reports any different from the propaganda emanating from left-wing NGOs such Amnesty International (which wanted George W. Bush arrested for war crimes), Human Rights Watch (which wanted Obama to investigate Bush for war crimes), or George Soros’s multiple front groups.
I do not adhere to moral relativism at all, on the contrary, I am a moral absolutist, but my absolutes may differ from yours based on philosophical and/or religious beliefs.
Equally, I do not believe that all countries are as bad as each other. The original point made was that Tony should examine his conscience before playing in the Saudi league, I think we are in danger of bigotry and hypocrisy when we say stuff like that.
The conceit is judging one country to be morally superior to another. I am no defender of Saudi Arabia, but they are not involved in the "unconditional " support of a country carpet bombing another, or a state sponsored genocide of unborn children, or the genital mutilation of confused teenagers or the majority of their top teams promoting gambling, shall I go on? I think the phrase is, let him who is without sin cast the first stone. This holier than thou attitude is cringe worthy.
"Never achieved anything" except promotion unexpectedly last season....
Football fans are well known for acting like hysterical children when their team loses, but the more pragmatic will know that we are likely to get relegated this season whoever is in charge. Not all gloom though as also likely to get promoted the season after!
