That's some cold consolation! The EU was the ideal vehicle for tackling climate change. They had the ability to coordinate the policies of 28 nation s...
Move on to what? A bonfire of red tape - to undercut the EU, and further exclude British business from the second largest free market in the world? So...
I knew Cameron was a brexiteer. You only have to examine his political history - and it's completely obvious that he should never have been the spokes...
Artificial selection indicates sexual selection where the reproductive choices are made by man rather than the pigeon, or the sheep. So artificial sel...

Just seen this tweet: Petition: 'Scroungers' Cameron should not be receiving a final salary pension after costing this country untold billions with a ...
The evidence showing Cameron was a brexiteer is overwhelming; and I can only assume there's a Public Interest Immunity Certificate in place to gag the...
Close, but no cigar! You have all the right notes here - they're just not quite in the right order. Natural selection is a term that distinguishes sel...
The argument in your first paragraph can be boiled down to three words: "ought from is." It is an idea proposed by David Hume (1711-76) "In every syst...
Brexit has given me a new appreciation of what Marx meant by class consciousness. Not working class consciousness - obviously, not even the Labour Par...

I get that reaction a lot. Don't worry about it - it's fine. It seems to me, that writing on a philosophy forum, you should be able to encompass and h...
Your link is a Bill - not an Act. It's not law. It's a proposal - the validity of which has not been examined by Parliament. A bill can say anything. ...
Great. Me! That was easy. Sadly, almost everyone else is operating within an ideological environment - drawing their identities and purposes, their be...
You tell me. What are you admitting you're wrong about? Is it just just the 'good fate' thing? Because to my mind, that's the least of the things you'...

I don't think that's likely. I'll gladly run the risk of being wrong on such a minor point of fact. It's almost inescapable. Can you tell me off the t...
The point at issue is a minor one, hidden in the comparison of two lengthy legal documents - and it's just not worth the effort. I haven't called anyo...

I don't care. I'm not willing to go into the granular detail of the matter. I'd have to examine the EU court's decision, that says in general terms - ...
From Umbridge! It's in contrast to an ideological understanding of reality - as is quite simply, the world understood in scientific terms. So, it's no...
Nope. It's the Notification of Withdrawal Act (2017) that prevents May from unilaterally revoking Article 50. It's the Notification of Withdrawal Act ...
