This example doesn't mean what you think it means.

Depends.

If you are trying to show a repeatable process, whether that's just DIY or microbiology, a video is dramatically better than an article.

I always love it when people turn up to explain why we technically have a functioning democracy.

Truss being an absolute moron didn't help.

The problem isn't full support, it's active hostility of those who are "loyal" to Johnson.

Erm, no they don't.

I grew up under Thatcher in 80s Britain (also 70's but too young to see it).

Britain's problem with labour unrest was rooted in other problems. Ironically, one being a problem we are seeing again now - massive inflation.

Yes, you can definitely 'solve' the problem of industry strikes by completely destroying the industry involved.

That's one option.

Looking from the outside, I think US political discourse IS far more hostile.

Britain won't accept things like Politicians being harassed, or one politician calling for other politicians to be harassed (and that's before we even get to anything Trump related).

And the amount of references I see to "civil war" when wandering across anything relating to US politics (i.e. not zero) is disturbing.

Looking at American politics from the outside, I feel like (in most cases), you're lucky if your elected representatives know how to spell the names of common vegetables and know that the US doesn't share a border with Afghanistan.

I think you need to read more into Thatcher and what happened under her to understand why some sections of society reacted like this.

I don't know a huge amount about Regan, but I doubt you can really compare them.

Britain in the late 70s and early 80s had huge issues which Thatcher addressed, but in hugely contentious ways, in some cases destroying entire industries and their communities.

The structural impact of some choices she made are still present in British society even now, decades later.

Some people still own things, just not you.

Russia has about 150M people. Ukraine has about 50M.

If Ukraine refuse to cooperate with Russia and fight a guerrilla war, there is absolutely no way they can hold the whole country.

Press 'X' to doubt.
