Absolutely, Mister q.

If you read my post carefully, I congratulated the reporter who told Fallon where to get off.

But there are offences and offences.

They must be accurate as I scored very low marks when I was 11. Got me sent to a tough secondary modern school for a couple of years which made me vewy vewy fwightened!

If it’s Budapest, they may well flog them as a cheap way of getting them cooked and ready for the customer.

would you be able to read dofan’s little find if you had dementia?

But his isn’t a theory.

Its just a series of observations about the way neo-liberalism is used, without any attempt to show whether those uses are coherent or not.

As a professor, he deserves to be taken seriously. It doesn’t make him an oracle, above criticism. I’ve known quite a few professors, and they’re not all as good as the title cracks…[Read more]

If he wants me to take him seriously – or more to the point, if you want to show…[Read more]

Every time I come across a someone talking of neo-liberalis, then they give it a different  definition, It means something you don’t really like, so you call it neo-liberal.

That is why Drac and Gerry are shouting at each other without really coming to terms with the arguments of the other. To both of them, neo-liberalis means soethng they don’t…[Read more]

Norfolk,

my apologies for not replying to this sooner. I hope you’re still interested enough to continue.

I felt that you misunderstood my post. I wasn’t saying that morality is only tied to culture, or that morality is the same as legality.. I don’t believe it is. I think we have a natural sense of morality, common to us all as human…[Read more]

I was thinking of your other link on neo-liberalism. This is something which is profoundly uninteresting for most people, but it’s very important for some (including Corbyn).

Who knows how all this will end? I was thinking of the survival of May’s government.

Gerry, please do.

I’m glad you’re taking this discussion with the seriousness it deserves.

I’m delaying answering the points made because I can’t get to the PC for more than a few minutes for the next couple of days, but I at least want to continue this discussion.

I have no idea what neo-liberalism is. It’s a very vague idea which sounds terribly clever – it was first used by semi-Stalinist French intellectuals to make them sound like Mandarins.

It can be used to mean whatever you want it to mean.

The EU is protectionist to the outside world, but free trade within its borders. leave the EU, you’re…[Read more]

May’s not a competent politician, either. It didn’t stop her becoming PM.

Thatcher was seen as an extremist at that time, and regarded dismissively, and then with  horror in the same way that Corbyn has moved from ridicule to horror. I’m not interested in his competence in this thread.

We’re in agreement over the EEA as a solution, then?

I’m sorry. I should have put it more clearly.

Time is forcing a decision on us, and there is no majority at the moment for any clear decision.

I think the election was certainly called by may in the belief that Corbyn was a joke and she could make a killing. It was also meant to give her a firm majority in parliament to face the other EU…[Read more]

They may have called the police, King.

Still, well done, Sophia, for being so caring xx

It’s not a question of whether there should be an election or another referendum, though we all have our views on that.

I’m raising the question of whether there is likely to be an election or another referendum.

The answer is not likely about a referendum, but much more likely the collapse of this government and another election.

Norfolk, this is not about scares, or even pointing to the problems which are now emerging..

It’s about the lack of a clear majority in the country for the way forward, when time is forcing us to have a clear majority.

I don’t think that parliament, the cabinet or the country will be able to get a deal. If there’s no deal, that will probably be…[Read more]
