    Don't be so silly, Jedi_Jade-Skywalker. We're a lot smarter than that.

    Being progressive means hyperbole and memes.

    Or using someone's rhetoric against them to hope they see what they're doing is wrong.

    Corbyn won't become PM, but the next Labour will.

    The European Parliament will be discussing a burning issue related to Brexit, apparently:
    And yes, it's a real written question, not a joke.

    your posts have been getting rather desperate of late old chap .
    Corbyn is not a holocaust denier , he doesn't support anti-semitism , he's not an ally of IRA or Black September and he doesn't have a Bin Laden Duvet cover .. (or whatever other lazy tabloid style smear tactics you want to use )

    Corbyn believes in dialogue , and yes sometimes that means talking to people like the IRA and Hamas , it's the grown up world of politics , you don't just talk to your friends , that's hard for some people to understand if they just want 'good guys and bad guys' simplicity , or worse - people like Blair who will just manufacture intel to suit his own 'emotional truth' so he can send our soldiers off to their deaths and turn another country into a smoldering wreck for his his own vain glory .


    but my farts make more sense than you do .

    bit random , whats he got to with it ?

    Oh yes, it's made the news - all of a sudden formerly very pro-leave Brit farmers are freaking out about the consequences of their politics.

    Only a recent change, puts us in line with most European countries.

    I'm not opposed to it, especially given that the U.K. and other European countries have better sex education and probably better coverage for birth control than the US does. The point about the Royal Family being exempt is a good one though.

    Sex education starts in primary school (elementary); probably changed now, but when I went to secondary school (high school) there is a big drive at 14 and 16.

    Condoms are basically handed out at college at the start of each term, too.

    Can you please give the names of those countries? I may have missed something here, but the only countries I know of with such policies are in Asia.

    I agree. In Sweden you don't get a tax deduction, but instead the state gives you a child benefit (nowadays around $125/month), and that actually increases from the third child onwards.

    Same in France, Greece, Belgium. In the European countries I know, policies are designed to support people who have more children, not to prevent them from having more children.

    This law in the UK reeks of "the poor shouldn't breed" and I find it kind of repugnant.
