If you're 15 and you're not in education or an apprenticeship/training of some kind, the state has failed you.

Sounds like a win?

The general public has been poisoned against any form of intellectualism, and have no interest in factual information.

I mean, they're huge, they're some of the oldest human built structures in the world and they look good on a postcard.

If the Egypt thing was a myth, then how did the Nazis find the ark of the covenant in an Egyptian ruin? (And why were there so many snakes?)

The conservatives have been raising the tax burden quite significantly the past few years, and it's a big part of their support exploding. Probably there does need to be an increase, but labours approach had been to say they'll go after people avoiding their fair share first which seems to be generally popular.

she said that would probably be good and would help her but asked how they were going to find the money to do it since they said they weren't increasing taxes or cutting spending elsewhere or anything

He could easily just have said that they are supposedly planning to increase revenue by funding HMRC better, removing loopholes the wealthy use to avoid tax, and adding VAT to things like private schools to the total value of a few billion more a year.

It's a fairly prominent part of their short manifesto and general campaign, and the idea that this idiot was out campaigning without knowing it makes me think that he probably should feel stupid.

I like how it looks but hate the company and most of the people who buy the car.

Most places around me have a mat and shoe rack at the entrance.

It's always wet and muddy as well, so it might as well be the same as "always take off your shoes"

They look nice and they're not that inconvenient. Also, they're more difficult to catch clothes or elbows on.

I don't wear shoes in the house but I don't think there's much validity around cleanliness unless you've got a shower by the front door and are doing a full wash and change (and even then, I'm not convinced this would make a positive difference in most scenarios)

Mud and stones very easily get stuck to shoes, and tracking in water is a dick move too.
