.. because flag clutching nationalists blaming their neighbours for everything always works out so well?

Whatever.
False equivalence.
Remind us how many Ukrainian civilians Russia has abducted or murdered so far.
And feel free to tell us how many bombs Russia has dropped on civilians in Ukrainian towns and cities over the past month.

The government say a lot of things they don't do.
Alternately, if they offer a buyer unlimited immunity re pollution and H&S liability .. and uncapped rates increases .. a buyer may emerge.
It would cost Labour the next election, but TBH they don't seem that bothered ..

SNP won't disappear if Scotland ever becomes independent .. Farage didn't disappear after Brexit, Putin didn't disappear after being elected Russian leader.
The SNP are tribal nationalists who claim to be the only party of their tribe.
They will apply the 'not a real Scot' fallacy to all others.

.. because the spivs running most large GP surgeries would happily employ crackheads (paid in needles) to see patients if they thought it would satisfy their funding criteria.
The bigger issue is the blatent normalisation of 'triaging' (ie. restricting, rationing and refusing) GP appointments.

Labour don't seem to understand the basics.
You stop the rise of the far right (or any extremism) by stopping their disinformation and reducing inequality.
Anything else is just wasting time kicking 💩 in circles.
Extremism feeds off disinformation and poverty.
4 years .. tick, tick, tick

Alternatively the government could fund GP surgeries sufficiently to employ sufficient doctors.
Then paramedics could return to working as paramedics, because our NHS is desperately short of paramedics doing paramedics jobs ..
Paramedics are not highly trained as paramedics to be GP receptionists.

Physician associates will be renamed because patients are starting to realise they are not doctors ..

Nobody will buy a UK water company.
The current owners have syphoned off money by borrowing against assets, sold all the assets they can, degraded all the assets that remain .. and polluted all the waterways with sewerage dumping.
Nobody will buy a UK water company.

There's a big maternity scandal ongoing in the UK at the moment.
The culture of the hospital and medics involved puts 'the objection to masks in healthcare' into context.
In many healthcare settings, the patient is treated as an inconvenience by staff who are neglectful and/or incompetent

Presumably you believe Russian propaganda?
Which part of Ukraine's history is your favourite? The time when it was Scythian, Greek, Roman, Mongolian, Polish .. ? Stalin's Red Famine? Putin babbling 'Ancient Rus' while raining bombs on civilians?
Putin is to Ukraine what Hitler was to Poland.

🤷♂️
Putin is just a psychopath trying to genocide Ukraine to steal it's resources.
Other than their weakness in the face of Russian aggression, the EU and NATO were irrelevant to Russia invading Ukraine .. that's just Russian botfarm propaganda parroted by puppets like Nigel and Boris.

I don't get it .. probably the last question any switch gamer would ever think to ask about MK is "but does it include drivers that are 'birds, plants, and other players without hands or feet'.".
What am I missing here?

🤷♂️ I'm sure they know what they're doing - but it feels like holding a focus group in a Godzilla flattened Tokyo to find out how people feel about eating radioactive dust .. while Godzilla is still stomping around with his radioactive beam flattening any bits of the city still standing?

Like I said. 25 years ago. USSR recently disbanded. Putin elected. Blair hopeful Russia would become and remain a democracy .. so he - like other western leaders at the time - was praising Putin.
Very different context to Comrade Nigel and Russian Boris blaming NATO/EU for Russia invading Ukraine.

Comedy .. usually it's funny because it's true.
I used to love psychologically dismantling the 'hard working, talented' angry people at work .. one calm, obvious question after another .. but you have to be very resilient to do that, because calm, objective people burn their egos like fire.

Sort of. 25 years ago - following Germany's reunification and the USSR's dissolution - Blair was gullible (in many ways) and seemed to believe Russia could be 'democratised'.
Whereas Farage is a outright puppet .. and Russian Boris, at best, a venal stooge of oligarchs.

Are we awake yet?
Russia has been destabilising Europe since before Russian Boris installed an Oligarch in the Lords .. since before Comrade Nigel Brexited us .. since before the Con(artist) Party had a 'friends of Russia's club ..
The Cold War only ended in the minds of the terminally gullible.

I wonder if the chicken below actually understands what he's done?

Whatever, thanks for proving my point .. I'll leave you to clutch your flag and rant about your imaginary tribal purity.
PS. Pro tip for the elections, it's Farage's Fascists Plc that will
poach your tribal voter base, not Labour. You're both selling to the same flag clutching mentality.

Oh no, not more flag clutching politicians claiming to be 'the only credible party for [insert tribe here]'.
Flag clutching tribalism never ends well.
Pro tip, kids: never trust people who claim they're the only one who can speak for a tribe, a flag or a god.

My favourite part of the nightmare pantomime was the photoshoots of Ministers posturing at the open air morgues .. errr 'nightingale hospitals' .. which were presumably going to be staffed by carrion crows .. because, sure as sure, we didn't even have enough staff for the real hospitals.

Same reason the US voted Trump in again.
Because social media told them to.
Simple as that.
If Labour don't end social media disinformation .. then the far right will win the next general election and Farage will become the Fascist Dictator of a UK Russian puppet state.

'Case in point, RFK Jr’s decision to restrict Covid vaccines? Announced on X only'
Like Tesla, Twitter is collapsing because Musk .. that's why US Government is starting to use Twitter exclusively for some communications to try to force the wider population to have accounts on it.

Farage's Fascists Plc hate everyone. (Except Russia).
Unfortunately, that's their sales pitch .. and their appeal to voters who hate everyone, including themselves.
That's why Comrade Nigel began by harming the UK, especially England, with Brexit.

🤷♂️What, in the definition of 'pandemic' makes it problematic to call COVID a pandemic?

Nice try. If you're not even aware how long Welsh language lessons have been compulsory in Welsh comprehensive schools I'm guessing you're not even Welsh, let alone a Welsh Language enthusiast. 😂

Marginalised?
🤷♂️ Welsh has been a COMPULSORY subject in Welsh secondary schools for 50+ years.
It was the rabid nationalism of our Welsh language teacher that put me off flag clutching nationalists for life .. I'll never forget the (repeated) thrashings he gave me for refusing to join Urdd.

I doubt it .. the public seem to have learned nothing from the ongoing COVID pandemic.
And the far right, like all evil, learned they can use disasters to increase their power.
the only question is who the GoP will scapegoat for the results of their, quite deliberate, policies.
