Interesting Johnl, Science has made great advancements and continued to learn, it seems the only thing that is absolute (im assuming this means no room for another way to observe it) is change, which is pretty exciting if we can recognise that without it taking away what has been found and allowing different observations.

I found the word "cognitive dissonance" used in an article today :) double points surely as he also uses "democratic deficit"


"until recently I owned shares in some of the most polluting companies in the world. My discovery of the fossil fuel divestment campaign made it clear that my cognitive dissonance on this issue was far from an isolated case. "

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      The problem is Starmer can't shut up about his dad being a tool maker, they made Keir,  a right prize tool. Reeves continually blames the previous Govt, but correct me if I'm wrong but inflation was decreasing, unemployment was stagnant, with decreases and the occasional increase, things were beginning to stabalise overall.    Then we had the election 4 July when Starmer and co swept to power, three months on things are worse than they were before, yet Reeves continues to blame the former Govt. The national debt doubled overnight with public sectors all getting a wage increase and now the budget that penalises business with the increase in Employers national insurance. The result of which will be increased prices in the shops, increased inflation, increased numbers of redundancies, increased unemployment and increased pressures on the DWP to fund this    Future growth will go backwards and become negative, farmers will no longer farm in protest against the Govt, more people will become poorer and unable to pay their bills, things will spiral out of control and we'll have a repeat of the General Strike until this bunch of inept politicians resign and Kemi and co prevent the ship from hitting the iceberg and sinking.

      Indeed so.  Just noting there are other options and many children and indeed young adults may well be perplexed and/or irritated by a cheque.
