I hope the Brexiteers feel proud as they survey this fucked up mess

I voted to leave the EU. I am still convinced it was the correct decision. Why on earth do you imagine I should feel any responsibility for the mess that Theresa May has created since then?

There were many Labour supporters who also voted for Brexit.

Ironic that Ruth Davidson was responsible for saving Theresa May with a very successful campaign in Scotland, Ruth is about to get married to her gay partner and Theresa May has made a deal with an anti-gay political party founded by a Protestant bigot.

SNP lost 21 seats. The people of Scotland have given them a clear message that they are fed up with Sturgeon's divisive ideology. Indy2 isn't going to happen any time soon.

35 seats is a clear win but the direction of travel is rapid decline. SNP have had their day. Small-minded nationalism has lost it's appeal.

To cure cancer we need to go back in time! From the Brooklyn Eagle 1916

In the UK it costs the NHS huge sums of money to administer radiotherapy and chemo. For us there is no financial motive. It works. It's not the magic bullet but it's the best we have.

I would be dead by now if it was not for conventional cancer treatment.

The future probably lies in therapies based on the specific genetic causes of cancer. Cancer isn't one disease. There no "cure for cancer". There are many related diseases that all involve the uncontrolled replication of cells.

Rainbow Troll - You are welcome to your conspiracy theories and your quack cures but keep them to yourself.

It does take time to adjust Libby.

Learning to find meaning in real life every day is important.

Naive kids and urban hipsters adore Corbyn.

Those of us old enough to remember labour governments of days of yore know how this always ends.

On the other hand Theresa May was dreadful. She has two secret advisers who are obviously useless. She doesn't trust her cabinet enough to take their advice. The way she bodged the social care policy was shambolic and then pretending it wasn't a u-turn was insulting. Avoiding live debates was cowardice.

Now she has to depend on 10 Protestant fundies in the DUP which raises a problem for Northern Irish politics. How can the government moderate even-handedly between the DUP and Sinn Fein if they depend on one of them for political survival?

Anyone who says they can cure it via grape juice, prayer, chemo or any other means is the worst sort of montebank

Bizarre that you put chemo in the same grouping as grape juice.

Disfellowshipped for being complicit in someone else's sin - really?!

by Isambard Crater in

a close friend of mine who is pimo (only staying in for family reasons) in a neighboring congregation called me in tears tonight saying her dad (elder) is telling her he is seriously considering reporting her to her local elders and she could get disfellowshipped.. the reason?

because she is complicit in a gross sin, according to him, by going with her best friend (not a j.w.

) when the friend had an abortion.

cofty

Giving support or encouragement to a friend to obtain an abortion could be a judicial matter.

I'm surprised she is surprised by that.

One of the few positive things I agree with the Society on is not being part of this world re politics

Literally everything you do every day depends on politics.
