Mostly made of meat.

  • I genuinely think we are utterly fucked. If Nige gets in to No. 10, the shit show will be trumpesque.

  • Might be seeing its reflection and thinking it's a rival.

  • There are plenty of stupid ideas being pushed everywhere. In general, the EU has better checks and balances to weed out the awful ones. Not always obviously, but no system is perfect.

  • Trying to solve social problems with technology always works.

  • Looks like a win to me!

  • Uranium boils water which turns a turbine, the turbine makes electricity, the electricity powers your kettle, and your kettle boils the water. Obviously the best thing to do is to cut out all the messing around converting this to that, and have uranium powered kettles.

    It's the % of working age people, so anyone over 67 isn't included in the UK figures, unlike the immigrant figures, so I'm not sure how your second point makes any sense. Pensions are the largest outgoings in welfare costs, so we really do need these eager young immigrants to inject money into the system because UK citizens are absolutely draining it dry.

  • No doubt the solution will be to swing to the right to chase after the voters who have already fucked off, rather than by having progressive policies that inspire their core base to come out and vote

  • OK, I'll ask again. How does this percentage compare to non-immigrants, and what benefits are they including? Actually, don't bother - I looked it up and the number for UK citizens is 23%. So immigrants are paying proportionally more into the tax system than UK residents. We should have more of these hard working people.

  • Because that's the nature of insurance. You pay into it when you can and draw from it when you need to. It's also an indication of a civilised society when it looks after the less fortunate.

  • Wow, that's great. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

  • Not as hard as I laugh when I pass all the queued up cars on my bicycle.

  • Everyone pays taxes, even those on benefits.

    1. Which benefits? Are they including child support, which everyone with a child gets?
    2. 1.5 million is a scary number. How does the percentage compare to non-immigrant numbers?
    3. The Telegraph is a right wing rag.

  • It's truly heartwarming that he painted a smiley face on the front of the baby crushing machine.

  • The press has been an absolute disgrace in EVERY election. You only need to look at who owns most of the press to see why.

  • Yup, but one of them is far more likely to maim or kill people.

  • I've found that the people most strongly opposing cars are the ones that are forced to use them due to insufficient public transport and cycling infrastructure.
