The Horse's Mouth Posted 10 April 2022 Share Posted 10 April 2022 25 minutes ago, Lionator said: Take accountability yes, but do you honestly think you can completely change your behaviour without some sort of support? There’s a reason why weight watchers and AA are so successful, it’s because it’s part of a community. This is the age of the individual and we’re destroying ourselves because of it. You definitely can, I'm not denying support makes it a lot easier. But as you've said these communities are highly popular and easily accessible, there's no real excuse to not get involved. Or even if you were to go alone, there's so much information out there to help someone lose weight and get back on track. I think your head is in the right place, but these people don't want to be helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a worry that Le Pen has done such a good job of shifting into the center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 11 April 2022 Share Posted 11 April 2022 So just catching up. Sunak has called for an enquiry into someone exposing his Wife as a tax dodger?!? Nothing like digging yourself a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It recognizes that international business people pay tax in different jurisdictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionator Posted 11 April 2022 Share Posted 11 April 2022 The whole issue with this saga is that it’s distracting from the fact the chancellor is failing to support people with this cost of living crisis. If anything, it’s meaning that it’s going almost unnoticed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Votez pour l'escroc, pas pour le facho" once again, anyone? France gives itself the same question again. Round 1 with the heart, round 2 with the head. Or, looked at another way, round 2 becomes for many people about who you least don't want. Still, it's a system. Everyone knows the rules. Melenchon's result was good though a shame it amounts to squat. One for the regionals. My neighbouring commune voted Le Pen 1st, Mélenchon 2nd. There must be some interesting conversations there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frakenfox Posted 11 April 2022 Share Posted 11 April 2022 In my commune, Le Pen was 3rd to Macron and Mélenchon. OK, we're only talking 50 votes max for any one candidate (small communes) but it's incredible to my mind that you can get such variations within a small area.

Indeed, and as it's the economic argument that Le Pen has been focusing on (to good effect) then it's praps understandable they're considered not too far apart. It's the side dish that comes with it though; fascism or militantism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to the police though, these cases are difficult to get convictions in and it’s sounds like they’ve been thorough and clinical. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 (edited) BBC News - Johnson and Sunak to be fined over lockdown parties https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61083402 Surely has to go then. He stood in HOP and said he wasn't aware of the parties and that he never attended, then that he saw the gatherings but thought it was a work event and all rules were kept to. Now he's being fined for breaking said rules. Edited 12 April 2022 by Facecloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he won't. He lied to parliament, and unless I'm mistaken under the ministerial code a minister, even a PM, must resign if they are caught doing that. He'll find a way to worm out of it.

leicsmac Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 Of course he won't step down - he's a Nixon, it's against his very personal ethos. So someone will have to do the deed - quite possibly the Tories themselves if they see he'll be a liability going into 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
