indeed it looks like something around 80-85% of consituuiencies have more than 50% ownership rates ... and they already win virtually all the constituiencies below 50% so yeah logically policies to better apeal to existing householders is pretty much a must
What’s crazy is that in many states here, the person driving the car could claim he was fearful & was just trying to leave & he wouldn’t be charged with anything.
Do you mean Fearless?
Brutal reading, makes me feel sick to my stomach that I live in a country that treats people that way. Yet any time you try to raise issues like this its a wall of "be kind to boris, he's doing his best" or "well what abut Jeremy Corbyn"
I’ll do my part to ensure a stellar turnout for the remaining America’s Comeback Tour events.
Most interesting is how high the 59% figure is for people not knowing what the term means, given the right wing press drone on about it so much.
is it a term many would use in real life? Seems like a Twitter term and one that’s popular, but only in certain Echo chambers. I’m not at all surprised by how high that % is.
That's a fair point, not sure I can remember hearing anyone using it in convo in real life. Only occasionally when discussing some newspaper article etc...My wife, who reads very little UK media, didn't know the term.
I guess a made-up word means different things to different people. I've only come across it on the caf really, and when I do I just skip over the rest of the post then; if anyone wants my attention they'll have to put their points in English I'm afraid.

Who actually describes themselves as 'woke' non-ironically?
I'd probably be described as woke by someone trying to insult me based on my political and social beliefs but would absolutely cringe to give myself that title.

Twitter tends to over inflate opinions somewhat, to the point where people think they're significant. This is a good example.

Bunch of crooks.
There is no doubt at all that obscene amounts of taxpayer money has been handed out to 'friends' of government officials.
And hopefully, investigations will reveal all.
Literally zero chance of this ever happening.
I don’t know who I despise more, these scumbag Tories or the fecking cnuts that vote for them!!
They don't need to cover it up. They just ignore it, or ignore the independent reviews or tell us it's not what people really care about. There is no recourse and they will get voted in again.
That is what I meant by cover up. Deflect, distract and ignore.
Quite right. And this is the world we now live in.
they will investigate themselves and conclude that they’ve done nothing wrong
I’m sure we be were told that this could never happen and would be terrible for the rail industry when Corbyn proposed something similar
And come out of it in an even better position no doubt.
Or if whoever is appointed to investigate does conclude they did something wrong they'll just disagree and ignore it.
Yeah, that's more likely, they'll just brazen it out and it will get covered up by the next controversy.

I suspect you only read the headline. This is not nationalisation, the trains and track will still be run by private companies, they just won't be called franchises any more. It's arguably an increase in privatisation, as currently much of the track, and some of the trains, are state-run, whereas they won't be in future.
Labour's long-time policy, not just Corbyn's, has been to actually re-nationalise, and it has generally been one of their more popular policies.
Yep! Boris et al will be seen as trustworthy and fiscally responsible
And the person leading the so called investigation will be knighted.... for services to smoke and mirrors.
Great. Cos the last railway privatisation went so well
