You know what I meant. Typical though, twisting statements.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,213
No twisting here.

Sorry, we don't. It's a pandemic. Usual Tory policy isn't going to work.
Ste I would never try to twist your words lad, I was just pointing out what I see with my own eyes on a daily basis. And while I agree with you that there are those that cheat the system its not all.
As such at this time of global hardship I think that it is prudent for any government to sustain its peoples, especially given that the money being used was collected from them in the first instance.
No one is advocating a state that is designed to foster a high level of dependency, its about stepping in when needed and not about stepping due to ideology.,
There has been billions handed out between Covid and Brexit and despite this current government spending public money like socialists both sides can see that they are inept and we are not one foot further or one inch safer.
So lets not argue among ourselves put the blame where it lies and that is with third rate politicians being led by an alleged genius playing the role of the all seeing Oz

I remember when Herc and I were small boys. We'd go down to the rock pools, fishing for crabs, him in trunks and me in a three piece suit, and there was no one obviously else there apart from the gulls below the ozone flapping their wings above the rippling sea waves.
Beside my knee was what we used to call a transistor radio beaming in the most terrible news but in a most soothing reassuring BBC World Service voice while on my lap I housed the collective works of Dostoevsky. Herc simply had his little rod and net.
And I'd say to Herc, Herc, my great grandson, just remember two things as you go through your life. That is, apart from the fact that I am the reincarnation of our great grandfather, Horace Radish-Thynne who was born in 1797 at "The Horse and Chalk Grass Winkle", 53 Middle Street, Cleethorpes.
One, the world is a very wide place and what is being described in the speaker is luckily nowhere near us. And, two, if sights and sounds ever do ever overwhelm you, cope with it by just thinking of your nose and remembering that everything smells bad.
And it was generally at that time that the sky would suddenly become filled with hundreds of the most deafening helicopters and we'd see an equal number of military tanks on the sands heading directly towards us. All we could do really was stick our socks over our noses so we did and then they would miraculously go away.
They took my books, of course. Sent long wires with mechanical clamps down from their choppers while his little rod and net were simply crushed by the land based vehicular hardware.
But inevitably it was then that a few little crabs would jump out all of their own accord, just as we were ceasing again to be wholly barefoot in our flip-flops.

Should I stop drinking these Uncle Radish? 
In 2000, the Supreme Court ruled that George W Bush had beaten Al Gore in Florida, based on an interpretation of the ballot papers which suggested large numbers of the Jewish community had voted for the anti-Semitic third party candidate, Pat Buchanan. Most, when asked, said they had actually voted for Al Gore. It was a dubious decision. A cloud had hung over that election's outcome ever since. I suspect the 9/11 attacks would not have happened had Gore been president.
Hopefully, Biden will win by a comfortable enough margin this time to make any more such Republican chicanery impossible. But am not even assuming Biden will definitely win anyway at this stage. Things do seem to be favouring him currently. though.
We shall see...

Trump has now stacked the nine-member Supreme Court in his favour. The only hope is that the current chief justice, John Roberts, is more concerned about how history will remember him, rather than being a lackey for Trump and the retard-right.
I don't think Biden will win. I think 911 was gonna happen whether Bush or Gore won. And how bout those nutjobs thinking murder can be justified if you take offense at cartoons? Vive la frogs and down with Trump.

Sticking my neck out:
I now think Joe Biden will beat Donald Trump, next week.
I think most American voters now recognise what a terrible mistake was made in 2016.

I think too many American voters fall into the categories of:
1. "Justifiably Apathetic" (won't vote cos both candidates are crap),
2. "Cretinous Morons" (will vote for Trump because they admire bullying. xenophobia and misogyny),
3. "Cretinous Mormons" (will vote for Trump cos they think he is religious),
4. "Gun-loving Racists" (will vote for Trump because they scared of black people and fear Biden will be succeeded by a non-white female).
Anyway, how dare you have an opinion about America when you don't live there.
I think Biden will win too.
A 75 year old man that is definitely showing signs of early dementia.
That stuff advances quickly with old age and he'll be nearly 80 at the end of his term.
He should forget politics before he forgets everything.
He's actually 77. No signs of dementia though.
Oh there is.
Short term memory loss
Struggling for words
Miss-naming people or forgetting who they are.
The media and supporters make excuses for him but it's there to see.
With any luck he'll win - give it a few months then be forced to hand the reins over to his VP.
Take that "Proud Boys"!
Biden seemed pretty sharp in the debates. He's certainly a lot more mentally sound than Trump. Not that that's saying much.
