The weird thing is that politics in general is back to front. I could, based on our system, get elected into the cabinet and be given the chancellors job with absolutely no experience. Fucking daft. You don't get elected into the cabinet in our system. Did you have another system in mind? Edited March 6, 2021 by boltondiver Quote

The experts will work for them. Quote

The actors off Casualty have a background in emergency medical procedures but I’d still want to see a proper doctor if my head was hanging off. I fully understand it, that doesn’t mean I think it’s flawless. Quote

As you say, her politics were divisive but she changed the stereotypical view of a Tory for most. Quote

Boby Brno Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 I see Switzerland has banned face coverings apart from COVID precautions. https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-56314173 From another site. France banned wearing a full face veil in public in 2011 and Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands and Bulgaria have full or partial bans on wearing face coverings in public. If this was us of the US, there would be uproar. There are other European countries considering the same action including the Czech Republic. Quote
