Yâall have had national healthcare for seventy years?

I firmly believe that any country with the ability and infrastructure to offer it should do to the citizens of itâs country. Some things cannot be trusted to be run by companies for aim of profit (including education, emergency services, socials services, public transport, armed forces, prisons & courts, water, gas & electric, areas of natural beauty, wildlife or sites of historical importance, and communications (landline or internet provision) in that - along with council services (bin collections, tips, park services, libraries etc). Free pizza too (that could be a vote-winner đ)
A form of socialism which existed before in many countries - and served many of those countries well - and still exists now for some fortunate countries in varying services too.

Yes mate, shortly after the Second World War - when the UK was still broke, rationing was still in place, and times were indeed grim - the Govt of the day built one of the most beautiful things ever in the 20th Century - saving countless lives, alleviating pain, and giving care and assistance to anyone who needed it - all free at the point of delivery - in a bid to help raise the standard of life for everyone - and in general for the good of the people.
Of course, we do pay taxes towards it, and it has come under fire and been stripped to the bone for political and reasons of greed (certai politicians want privatisation of parts and services for profit) - yet it still endures to the day, and hopefully for the next 70 years and beyond.

âNHS at 70: Moving tributes to âbest thing in the worldâ at Westminster Abbey service â liveââŚ
The show has now finished - after four superb seasons and with a proper & planned ending for it⌠so this thread will contain spoilers!)
Â
The series follows Elliot, a young programmer working as a cyber-security engineer by day, and a vigilante hacker by night.
Â
The premiseâŚ
Mr. Robot is an American drama-thriller television series created by Sam Esmail. It stars Rami Malek as Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity engineer and hacker who has social anxiety disorder and clinical depression. Elliot is recruited by an insurrectionary anarchist known as âMr. Robotâ, played by Christian Slater, to join a group of hacktivists called âfsocietyâ. The group aims to destroy all debt records by encrypting the financial data of the largest conglomerate in the world, E CorpâŚ

Â
Subversive, on-topic & fresh, biting social commentary, and a cynical viewpoint of the modern world - with the occasional insert of humour, warmth, redemption and a fair few WTF moments too đ
Like many other absorbing modern tv shows⌠this is really beautifully put together; the cinematography, direction & style, feel, suspense, choice of music - the whole works; coming together to lift an already immersive series, with itâs quality acting and genius plot twists, into an even better, more captivating one.
Well worth a watchâŚ

Allways good to hear from someone who knows what heâs talking about. A military veteran gives a real world account of leadership, and why Holdo did not display good leadership while in command:
I havenât read the link - though think Holdo demonstrated good leadership in sacrificing herself to save the remaining Rebels in those unarmed ships being easily picked off by the First Order.
I donât really need to read the views of a military veteran to understand or appreciate this - nor do I care for a military veteranâs reasons as to why she wasnât a feminist (going on the url link) - or indeed why some think being a feminist matters in this context - but am sure it will come in handy for those that do. Nice one.
You shouldnât judge a book by its cover, seems an apt statement here.
I believe we should read something first before commenting on it, but anyways in response to your belief that she displayed good leadership, and the fact that you seem to believe uninformed opinion trumps actual combat and leadership experience relating to a combat situation, here goes:
Mate, itâs not a case of judging a book by itâs cover - itâs a case of no longer still being interested in the topic at hand (which to me has been done to death - and then repeated some more, and then dug up again too) - and also not being interested in the views linked in that article you posted upon reading itâs url link.
So hardly an uninformed opinion on this subject, no?
If this combat veteran believes it was poor leadership cool - I donât. I also donât read up other articles from combat veterans when they are unhappy with events from other films that I have no issue with either. Nor those that wish to discuss why someone wasnât a feminist (going on the url link). Well in to those that do, if thatâs their thing, though.
I donât have the time or energy to read through every link on here - and am certainly not going to spend time on this subject which frankly⌠doesnât interest me, and I donât have a problem with.
My previous post stands as it is - and as I said in that post⌠fair play that your link may interest others. Nice one.
Yet, rather than conserving time and energy, and just taking a pass, you felt the need to make a statement. If youâre not interested, which is absolutely fine, why clutter up a thread with statements, that boil down to âIâm not interestedâ? If youâre not interested in discussing an article or a link, than donât discuss it. It makes it so much more enjoyable for those that do, when you donât have to wade through posts that say âI havenât read it, and I donât care to!â.
I made a statement that being a military veteran doesnât necessarily mean he knows what heâs talking about in the context of your âHoldo did not display good leadership while in commandâ - in a sci-fi film - as a statement of fact.
Nobody said it was a statement of fact.
Yet you wroteâŚ
Allways good to hear from someone who knows what heâs talking about. A military veteran gives a real world account of leadership, and why Holdo did not display good leadership while in command:
Not why he thinks / believes / is of the opinion etc - â⌠and why Holdo did not display good leadership while in commandâ - seems like a statement of fact to me.
This seems like a straw man to me, since this is a discussion forum, which generally doesnât deal in fact, but opinion. We shouldnât have to put âin my opinionâ, âin my viewâ, etc. in every sentence, or risk being âattackedâ by those that disagree with said opinion of making statements of fact, a discussion technique, which is generally used by detractors to derail a discussion, and to deflect criticism by focussing heavily on form rather than content.
Then perhaps you should make yourself clearer when stating âfactsâ - and then claiming it to be opinion later. Weâve already discussed the content of your 1st post - no derailments or deflections here, is there? (thatâs rhetorical - though as previous questions have gone unanswered⌠Iâm not holding out for any).
Feel free to carry this conversation on - though it may be impinging on the enjoyment of others, wading through posts like this, no?
It may be, but I feel the need to defend the article, and to invite people to read it, and form an opinion, which may be positive, negative, or anything in between, but one thing is for sure: it will be informed. đ
Like I said before, fair play to you for posting it up for those that are interested. I think my post fell in into the âanything in betweenâ you mention above (and youâd like me not to discuss) - I just donât find a combat veteranâs âexpert opinionâ on why Holdo wasnât a feminist relevant or informed given the context of your initial post on the matter. Good for those that do, though.
Well like I said, you shouldnât judge a book by its cover. The fact that you donât find this authorâs opinion informed based on my initial post, is hearsay, and is no better than someone saying TLJ sucks, because he heard someoneâs synopsis of the film (in this case mine), and didnât like it much. Iâm sure you would have jumped on the first person, who would have stated RJ isnât informed on the subject of Star Wars without seeing the film first, and rightfully so. The best you can do in such circumstances, is to say that: âyou didnât find my post, or the title of the article very enticing, and thus havenât read it, but in order to form an informed opinion on the article and the author, I would have to read it.â
Why twist words mate? What is wrong with anything I said in here? We discussed the link (of which you later mentioned), and now youâre presuppositioning what Iâd say in different instances? Jumping on people?
All on an article with a combat veteranâs âexpert opinionâ on why Holdo isnât a feminist and that her leadership is poor - in a sci-fi film - isnât something I want to read, given the context of the conversation. I said why, gave an opinion as to why leadership wasnât poor - said hoped that people would find your link interesting - which is âhearsayâ to you, apparently. Far too many posts on it later youâve stated to me âdonât discuss itâ - and now on how to post.
Wow.
Itâs just a link to an article that someone didnât want to read and explained why - repeatedly, and seemingly in this boring circular âdebateâ. Get over yourself.
(though Iâm sure youâll be posting to carry it onâŚ)

I thought Holdoâs leadership was good - in the context of sacrificing herself to try and save the other Rebels.
And also that a military veteranâs reasons as to why she wasnât a feminist, didnât interest me enough to read the article.
Here it isâŚ

No worries mate - itâs one of the unfortunate things in football that needs addressing - the protection of players from thuggish or over-the-top antics. Usually itâs the attacking/creative-types that suffer - and referees seem unsure in certain instances just what has happened (or unwilling to risk enforcing the rules for fear of a mistake which may impinge on their career / likeliness of getting the âbigâ games in the future).
If this is the case, at the top level there is usually enough footage of any incident to go back and address these issues post-game - by FIFA, UEFA or whoever the governing body of the competition is. Yet the will is seemingly not there to do so.
The same for the diving / simulation aspects - which can be tricky to get right. Because a player jumps out of the way of a two-footed high challenge doesnât mean heâs dived - though if heâs rolling around pretending he has been hit when he hasnât⌠then that needs addressing too.
I think most fans would like to see both issues addressed - no-one wants to see cheats prosper, and for me it has no place in football. Personally, Iâd prefer if the players respected the officials a bit more too - like they do in rugby - and also in rugby where the officials are micced up to the stadium tannoy system and their decisions are explained - to the benefit of the players, fans at the ground, and those watching on tv etc.
Â
Last night I thought the ref was poor - he should have brought the two captains together and told them to inform their teammates to pack the stupid antics in early on. The ref has officials to help him out - yet seemingly ignored them / their input. How you donât get a red card for headbutting someone - after a VAR review - is beyond me - and sends out a wrong message to everyone watching, and those young players out playing⌠emulating what they see on the pitch.
Â
I really hope we donât see similar antics in latter games in the tournament - itâs been a quality World Cup so far - great goals and games, big teams and players going out early, the âsmallerâ sides doing well too - I hope we see more of the actual football being played đ

Re Henderson, are you referring to the headbutt on him by Barrios? https://www.clippituser.tv/c/vxblpy
âFaking all that painâ? - last time I was headbutted with my mouth open not expecting it, it hurt like hell. Did Henderson exaggerate it? Maybe - bet it still hurt. 'Faking all that pain? - behave, mate.
Did Neymarâs latest squeal and roll hurt much at all? Are the two that comparable in that context? https://gfycat.com/UnlinedMeagerBat (player puts the sole of his foot on Neymarâs shin - Neymar starts the theatrics (holding his shinpad - not where there was actually contact. Yet if you notice the 4th official guy whose foot is stepped on by the player⌠he does not react at allâŚ
Henderson did later get a yellow card himself for this - https://www.clippituser.tv/c/pldgvk
All three incidents are embarrassing mate - yet only one of them likely hurt.
Â
I missed the Maguire incident (was in a loud and busy pub) - he tried to force Kaneâs (or another) penalty?
Â
For me, a big difference between Neymar and Henderson is that Henderson isnât âat itâ most games (in fact, hardly any at all I can remember) - nor does he seemingly get involved in such things to bring attention and focus to himself - in the way which is seemingly done by Neymar.
Â
Very good, nice one đ

Hereâs an excellent article on The Last Jedi and why it has elicited such a backlash from fans.

Insightful look on the film and its response (I guess I should say I donât agree with everything said, but itâs worth reading):

Many quality, insightful and also challenging articles can be found at the Guardian & Observer (itâs Sunday sister paper) - pleasing to see them get some a mention and some love on here too đ
I donât think that site is related to those papers though.
Doh! Serves me right just reading the article. insert embarrassed emoticon here
More love for the Guardian and Observer on here too, please đ
