The problem with too much capitalism isn't too many capitalists, but too few.

The primary motives of the govt with the social media ban are obvious (digital ID & controlling political beliefs of the youth), but it's suspicious that the two main exceptions to the ban, Bluesky and Discord, are both known primarily as child grooming sites.

I can say with reasonable certainty that 0% of Christians truly understand the Trinity given that it is a Mystery of Faith.
Only ~16% of Christians truly understand the Trinity. If it’s the β€œessential” doctrine of Christianity, how can that be true? The Trinity is a man-made belief created centuries later and is not biblical. Most Christians actually believe something much closer to the LDS Godhead: three distinct divine beings united in purpose. Surveys don’t lie. Time to rethink what you’ve been taught. What’s your view? This is what I know to be true. πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Hey guys check out my new MMT infinite money glitch that means we can do away with issuing gilts! *checks inside* It's currency debasement.

The main argument against the triple lock is that it necessarily outpaces the rest of the economy. It will have to end one day lest the state pension become more than the UK GDP. Scrapping it just means pensions can maintain value and not grow inexorably forever.

One of the greatest cons pulled on the UK public is how we compare workers by gross salary rather than take-home pay. I get how it's useful for salary sacrifice calculations and such, but people think Β£80k is rich, when it's little more than twice the take-home minimum wage.

Monstrous as the change is, it's worth noting that the Lord's amendment doesn't legalise abortion, but rather deems women incapable of moral responsibility for it. It's an amendment sponsored by women, premised on the notion that women have the same level of agency as children.

Reminder that the government never intended to cut the health benefits bill by Β£5bn/yr, but rather increase it by Β£5bn/yr less than projected by 2029 Β£50bn -> Β£65bn ( 30%) instead of Β£50bn -> Β£70bn ( 40%) Now it will be Β£50bn -> Β£68bn ( 36%)
Tonight a Labour government voted to slash Β£2 billion from some of the poorest people in our society. They sip drinks at Mastercard HQ while disabled people are pushed to food banks. I know I speak for millions when I say: we won't take this anymore.

These people claim contributing to your ISA and pension is morally equivalent to tax evasion, but claiming unfalsifiable mental health symptoms or vague undiagnosed tiredness so you can get off work and receive a free car is a god-given right because it isn't technically fraud.

This is the equivalent of the atheist human development graph, but for people with fibromyalgia.

Oft overlooked on the left side of the Dunning-Kruger curve is the propensity of midwits to assume that other people don't know things, so typos or simple mistakes are deemed fundamental errors of intellect. Lacking moral virtue, the modern world over-states intellectual virtue.
It's "yoke" you illiterate twit.

Never takes much to get them to admit that immigration is a collective punishment.
"the actual best way for a country like the UK to reduce its number of asylum applications would be to build a time machine and go back and not colonise half of the planet"

We're in the midst of a fertility demographic crisis and people are having 'no-kid' weddings as if it isn't the quintessential traditional family gathering. What do people think the natural result of marriage is? What an utterly insane concept.

Is it rude to bring kids to a β€œno kid” wedding if you couldn’t find a babysitter?

The replies to this show the people with the strongest emphasis on sola scriptura have the shallowest interpretation of scripture.
The reason and the season in one image.

Note how they say "I watched my relative die and no one should go through that." They are thinking of themselves. It's those watching on that want their relatives to die quickly. It's about sanitising death so it seems less nasty, not about alleviating suffering for the dying.

I will no longer accept any argument against capital punishment by anyone who supports assisted murder. If this country is happy to cull the sick to save money despite risk of coercion, then there is no argument they can make for keeping capital criminals alive.

I now see why it's called black Friday. Its after the caps these judges will have to wear when passing sentence on the elderly and disabled.

There is no argument against capital punishment that cannot be equally made against assisted-suicide. We can't rule out or undo killing a person unjustly. There is no method of killing that isn't cruel. It normalises killing as a reasonable response to an evil suffered.

Humans are supposed to live forever as God intended. In our fallen state we imagine 80 years to be a long time. Asking your doctor to murder you risks turning temporary material suffering into eternal spiritual suffering.

Anyone who thinks that assisted suicide will have strong protections to avoid escalation and abuse, remember that the UK has some of the strictest on paper rules on abortion in Europe, such that it is only technically permissible in severe circumstances.

There is no coming back from this. If Parliament forces through this law that no one voted for in any manifesto, then there is no chance for Britain to recover. If Charles gives it royal assent then he should lose the throne for violating his coronation oath.
My thanks to all who have shared their thoughts on the Choice at the End-of-Life bill that I am proposing in Parliament. It is good to see most people are able to have an honest, compassionate and respectful debate on this hugely important subject which means so much.
