Big, I agree.
At the end of the day we are all Internet randoms chatting. We don't know who anyone says they are, everyone could be a fantasist really, making up every word. Getting attention.
It's very clear from various posts that some people just want to use this as an excuse to attack the tories . I usually glance over those posts.
Some people can't see the issue at all. I glance over those too.
No ones post is 'anymore important' than people chatting anywhere really. Unless your in an actual conference with experts.
Also instincts do play a part in these things. Churchill very much relied on instincts when he came to being the PM during the war. It was very much his instinct that Hitler could not be appeased or negotiated with.
You can't negotiate with a tiger when it has you in its mouth.
Not every expert gets things right.
Everyone looks at the same data with different glasses /perspectives.
Somewhere in the mix the right thing to do will be there.
All I know is, I'd like these choice without any repercussions to stay off work, and keep my dc home.
I can pretty much guarantee I can get through this without catching it by taking those steps.
But the main thing is on mn, we are all just chatting and I'm very grateful for it because no one seems to be bothered where I work, and I'm loving the updates, the informative links, the level of convo, the vignettes from other places..
