Why is the world turning increasingly extreme right wing? Haven't we learned anything from WW II?
I don't want the freedoms fought for during and after the 1939-45 war to be destroyed. Seems like many young people don't realise how fascism will affect them. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

In almost 7 decades, I've never experienced a British PM who has got away with so much personal lawlessness without resigning. I think this sets a very dangerous precedence.
A serious question for our illustrious celebrity journalists. What would Johnson have to do before you asked him if he should consider his position and resign?Can you please tell me, how bad does it have to get before you hold him to account?

A fact is provable. If it can't be proved, it is not a fact, but a supposition, a hypothesis, an opinion, an idea.
'Alternative' facts was an invention by the Trump government, meaning in Trump's case: a lie.
