What The Fossils Say
by cofty inthe old creation book had a lot to say about the fossil record.
if i remember correctly it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.
the reality is that there is an embarrassment of riches illustrating the evolution of life.

Proportional Representation vs Electoral Collages
by Simon inthe craziness of first-past-the-post elections .... we'll no doubt have to now live through the scotts demanding another referendum, because we may take their lands, but we will never take their freedom!
and so they want to be free of the uk, where they have a disproportionate influence in parliament, and be a little dot that's part of the eu.
yup, freedom.. but anyway, as it stands right now they have 48 seats after getting 1.2m votes.

England voted against having another EU referendum - the UK voted against having another EU referendum.
Scotland voted in favour of having another independence referendum - well, the SNP did very well and have another UK indy ref on their manifesto.
But how many UK indy refs do you want?
Just one more, as long as Leave the UK wins?
Best of three?
Or just keep re-running it until you get the answer you want (which is leave the UK)?

Is there ANY democratic mandate for an independence referendum in Scotland that the UK would respect? - how often do you want UK independence referendums?
Every 5 years?
If Scotland had a second UK indy ref and chose again to remain in the UK, would you and Wee Jimmy Krankie accept the result and shut up about it?
The 2014 UK independence referendum was marketed as a once in a generation event.

@SBF - the problem for the SNP and Scots who want to leave the UK is that they've had that referendum in 2014 and voted to remain in the UK.
Scotland has decided its future. You're moaning because the referendum didn't go the way you wanted.

Will Brexiteers be happy with Phase 2 of Brexit?
by The Fall Guy in"brussels plans to insist that in order to get that "quick and dirty" deal, the prime minister would have to sign up to eu conditions: alignment with eu environmental, state aid and tax regulations for example.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50777995.
would such a deal represent what they thought they were voting for in the referendum?.

Ireland/N.I. situation also looks to have taken a new twist - does it? First I've heard of it.
As far as I can see, Boris Johnson said he'd put the border in the Irish Sea and he's just been elected with a huge majority.
Surely Boris can get on with putting the border in the Irish Sea in due time?
What am I missing here?

@Min - I know the point you're making and there is some truth in what you say.
But, social media is a bit like the Wild West - there's quite a lot of roasting, making fun of people, etc. Greta's parents should protect her from that. And I don't think they're doing their job properly.

Yes, I agree with Cofty - I want the UK to have no political union with the EU.
Mutually beneficial trade deals should be sorted out, however long they take.
I'm realistic in that I know Brexit won't happen over night. But I'm reasonably happy - Boris has won a huge majority, giving him the clear democratic mandate he needs. Also, I feel as if Boris genuinely wants to do Brexit (compare his behaviour with that of Theresa May's).
Hopefully Brexit will begin in February.
Would such a deal represent what they thought they were voting for in the referendum? - it's impossible to answer this question. People had the choice of UK remain or UK leave on the ballot. Those Brexiteers who want a hard Brexit, No Deal need to accept that Boris will do the best he can to get us out.

The anger and lambasting, the pallid skin, the twisted features, the florid face, the crimson cheeks ... is Greta Thunberg a gammon?

Daisy Ridley (the actress who plays Rey in Star Wars) faces an SJW backlash
by LoveUniHateExams inso, it's been said before how the left ends up eating its own.. and now we have the case of star wars actress - can i say 'actress'?
- daisy ridley ('rey').. in a recent guardian article, she essentially denies her privilege by saying that her star wars co-star john boyega ('finn') is just as privileged as she is.. daisy ridley descends from the fitz-corbetts (landed gentry) on her mother's side; her paternal grandfather was high up in the bbc and she went to a fee-paying school.
and john boyega grew up on a peckham council estate.

So, it's been said before how The Left ends up eating its own.
And now we have the case of Star Wars actress - can I say 'actress'? - Daisy Ridley ('Rey').
In a recent Guardian article, she essentially denies her privilege by saying that her Star Wars co-star John Boyega ('Finn') is just as privileged as she is.
Daisy Ridley descends from the Fitz-Corbetts (landed gentry) on her mother's side; her paternal grandfather was high up in the BBC and she went to a fee-paying school.
And John Boyega grew up on a Peckham council estate.
Er, yeah, nice one Daisy.
TBH, I don't really think she deserves much of a backlash or to be 'cancelled' ... it's just pretty amusing when the 'Liberal-Left' eats one of its own.
