I am generally not a believer in the old slippery slope argument and find it quite a sloppy excuse - but today whilst running I did actually twist my ankle quite badly on a slippery slope so now I’m confused. #karma.

Maybe review some of the coverage of certain political figures over the last decade or so, and reappraise the part of your good self and other "political commentators" in the slippery slope which has led us to where we are now?
I heard all the arguments. I am from Belgium, where the legislation for assisted dying is passed in law since 2002. I witnessed a good friend dying that way.
I am not going to tell my feelings, but he was so releaved when the doktor came.
There is no slippery slope. Only sheer compassion.
Next to a bus-stop full of people I genuinely trod and slipped on a banana peel. If we can find a third person whose arm was broken by a swan, we'll have some sort of inane trifecta of the apocalypse. Or at least a panto.
Within a week you’ll be supporting conspiracy theories and have denounced blue sky, a month and you’ll have stopped listening to Lewis’s or Jon’s opinions, three months you’ll only be reposting what the Mail and Express publish, and in six months and you’ll be in wellies and tweed! A slippery slope!
If it makes you feel any better I managed to twist my back just performing the smallest of jumps from the road I was crossing (in the wrong place) up onto the pavement.
I never believed in the phrase until I had a dodgy kebab one evening. That slope was very slippery. Never again. Rich Tea or Arrowroot biscuits only for me 3 times a day from now on. No good on your feet, though. Hope you recover soon Emily.
Tell people you rescued some kittens who were being drowned in a lake or saved two kids who were playing on a railway line.
Saying you slipped on a patch of ice whilst going to buy cat food is really embarrassing.
I have a slippery slope story.
I woke up for an obnoxiously early shift and didn't notice the sprinkler on.
I had on Converse and went legs up ass first down a muddy sloped hill. All day I muddy butt. Soaked to the skin.😂😂
I too have slipped on a slope. I banged my head, knocked myself out, and was incapable of doing anything for about two weeks. It had little to do with extensions of arguments, so I don’t understand the phrase either.
Did you then proceed to slide down the hill, continue across the road, then over a cliff, and did then a tanker truck full of fuel run off the road and land on top of you just as a fedex plane proceeded to crash into the site, setting everything on fire? Because if you did, I think you're the USA.
Ah yes, running. That’ll do it. I gave it up as it was hazardous to my… well everything to be honest. Ai recommend having a dog and walking it. Far safer.

It can happen!
So please keep us posted, thanks!
Imagine not knowing a wet floor was more dangerous than a dry one.
I hope it’s not sore for too long.
Hope mended soon 🙂
