At least the press are giving equal coverage to the much larger issue of Anti-Muslim abuse in the Tory party.

By "much larger issue of" I assume you mean "an actual issue of".

and more reports from more sources and more complaints rather than just a couple of people on twitter.

Yes.

And actual evidence as opposed to absolutely no evidence.

I've already told you it was on twitter. How much more evidence do you need than someone with a union Jack flag in their username telling you it happened?

Fwiw I think both parties could learn a lot from the Chinese approach to religions.

Thumb screws might be a step too far, but I'd gladly kick the Bishops out of the House of Lords

I'm not too keen on putting kids into re-education camps.

Depends on the context of "camp", I suppose.....although I'm guessing they're not China's version of Butlin's.

So, indoctrination to a cult of prehistoric fairy stories is preferable to a good free state education.?
Fair enough, we're all entitled to our opinions*.



*Under our existing democracy.

So everyone who follows a religion is indoctrinated which in turn means it's justifiable to indefinitely incarcerate sometime without them having committed a crime?

An interesting perspective, if you're not a fan of basic human rights.

In all honesty politicians tell probably bigger lies than the religious leaders. Sadly power corrupts regardless of how you are trying to indoctrinate people.

Back on track, Richard Branson believes that the No Deal Brexit that Johnson and his right wing sheep crave will mean £1 = $1.

Interesting. How much trade %-wise, does Britain/UK do with the US currently??

U.S. goods and services trade with United Kingdom totaled an estimated $262.3 billion in 2018. Exports were $141.1 billion; imports were $121.2 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade surplus with United Kingdom was $19.9 billion in 2018

From Wiki and I've not fact checked it.

I don't know if having a trade surplus is a good thing or not, to be honest.
Probably not, I'm guessing.

It's good for us. For the USA the surplus is a drop in the ocean.

No country ever got rich by importing more than it exported.

I think you'll find both countries trade with more than one country.

UK has a big deficit with the world as a whole.

If you read Branson’s interview, in the worst case scenario Britain could run out of money i.e. go bankrupt. Were it not for the services industries, we already would be.
