You can make the argument for Angela Merkel, certainly the taking in of a million refugees was probably the bravest and best single act of a world leader in modern times. Happy to rank them side by side if you prefer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best post you can point to if you wanted to highlight the damage neoliberalism has did to politics in the last 40 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon is nowhere being one of the greats of modern, or even older times. Take your Sturgeon tinted specs off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. Merkel inherited and maintained a mature economy and whereas she has been fairly steady, I rather agree with @williemillersmoustache and Nicola is so inspirational in her guidance and leadership towards what will be a decisive vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got humiliated by a very young refugee girl asking why her parents couldn't stay in Germany, and she said they should have applied legally from home. Shit hit the fan and she said everyone's welcome, cue a never ending convoy of people walking across Eastern Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I know it's horrifically low-effort and everything, but somebody spent time on that, and presumably thought they'd done a good job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I do enjoy that latter phrase which more often than not tends to be someone shouting about immigrants or being racist. The person who says "it is what we are all thinking" seems to believe their FB and friends circle is wholly representative of everyone in the country. I admire that sheer fearless belief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will likely sound hideously ignorant, as I'm probably missing something obvious, but how useful are Oyster cards these days anyway? Last time I was in London, I just used my debit card to scan in and out of all the tube stations, just like I use it (or my phone) to pay for buses around here. Is it just the prices that we pay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful for getting loans etc from your workplace if you have one season ticket that covers all the transport in your city. ETA: things like all day tickets etc will be easier to manage (and almost definitely cheaper) if all transport was held under the control of the local authority as well.
