Yeah, clearly not engaged with the data.

Ava is distorting facts when she calls the conference a protest. It was a conference, an intellectual discussion in a room, not a riot in the streets. She calls the conference a protest because the presentations are different from her own political views and and from the "politically correct" views on immigration policy and over-national institutions.

Took about downplaying the truth. This is not about Rayner putting the wrong address on her electoral registration form.

How stupid do you have to be not to understand that a foreigner with foreign earnings who retains their main residence in a foreign tax domain is FULLY entitled to the provisions of the Non Dom rules. Rayner is accused of falsifying her real address to fraudulently EVADE tax. I know Labour people can't get this, as witnessed by the numbers of Labour MPs who went to jail over the shocking expenses scandal when they fraudulently forged invoices for expanses they did not have and lied in claiming money. This is a world apart from applying for reimbursement for moat cleaning or a duck house. Rayner probably committed a crime by deliberately committing fraud.

Why can't you enforce it exactly? Do your children run the house? That's a poor excuse. Like you say it's on the parents. It's easy to stop your kids brainwashing themselves on the phone, it just takes a little thought and some effort. They could actually set an example by using phones a lot less themselves as well! But I know how people are, they're like children themselves they require being sat with a phone like a 3 year old. Social media should be requiring credit cards for accounts, that would improve the experience of using it 100 fold. No more fake bots or silly tantrums from children, and fines for breaking the law.

Just a small correction: Lionel Shriver says "the Democrats got there first" in questioning the validity of US elections. But before Hillary questioned the validity of Trump's election (alleging Russian interference swung the vote in his favour), Trump had questioned the validity of Obama's presidency (the birther issue). It happens. It's an ugly and destructive part of the game.

`we should focus on the ideological crap that teachers are throwing at them`, Yes Zoey kids are impressionable so we should be mindful to what they are exposed to.

Lionel is spot on again herein. The petty squabbling and cheap points scoring of current generation politicians is causing them problems, and undermines the system. I never liked Trump, but could always laugh about the crazy stuff he says and does and gets away with somehow. Others get massively bent out of shape and want him banned from office.

I don't watch Politics Joe because I'd rather listen to grown-ups who know more than me and think more deeply than I have. The Spectator is entitled to turn into a crèche but that may have an impact upon the viewer demographic.

There is an issue with Matt Goodwin's argument in terms of proving a direct causal link between the EU and the actions of the Brussels mayor. However, Ava Santina Evans is not the person to make that argument. She is someone who regularly debates Piers Morgan and ends up making him look intelligent. That is quite an achievement!

There is a distinct lack of parental authority, or parenting full stop, in the Whatsapp and the SNP "stirring up" legislation discussed here. There are half as many children being born in the UK as opposed to forty years ago. Children do not become socialised offline. The important distinction between real and virtue communication is being lost. Should children REALLY be being encouraged or even permitted to communicate via the internet? We know what this is doing to grownups?
