They could make everyone twice as rich by declaring that every £1 was now worth £2. Can't believe they've not done it.

What I wouldn't give to mop up one more of Arthur's excited widdles.

Thinking of starting a club for supporting folk whose gullibility caused them to waste a ton of money joining a club created to rinse people of their money. £500k membership.

Very hard to shoot a constantly moving target.

If I'm certain of anything it's that you've no understanding whatsoever why I'm saying what I'm saying in good faith. Take care duck.

It will never not be amusing that on twitter I'm a pinko liberal Marxist bleeding heart commie socialist, and on here I'm a crypto fascist nazi enabling far right goose stepper.

"And *you* can fuck off, and *you* can fuck off, and *YOU* can fuck off, and *you* can fuck *right* off ... hang on ... why are we losing support??!!!??? ... Why are our opponents winning???? ... ... I know! ... It's *THEIR* fault!!! ... THEY DIDN'T FUCK OFF ENOUGH!!!!! I AM GOOD AND SMART!!!!"

To refuse to think people disagree in good faith is indeed what children do, and you can call it what you like, in America what Trump called it was "winning". You can either want to feel superior with your hatred of the UK's equivalents, or you can want to beat them. I want to beat them.

As it happens I didn't chose to discuss this right here right now, I did so before the news broke. Also as it happens I've got and read *all* his books, seen him live on numerous occasions, and been interacting with him on social media for 15+ years.

Crucially if you don't understand why people think differently, you're handing them a massive advantage in a democratic battle of ideas.

Been reminded again today of a fundamental truth. If you can't articulate why someone might disagree with you in good faith, you aren't arguing against them, you're arguing against a totem of them that only exists in your imagination.

OK, well you're a charmer. No it doesn't depend on there being a middle ground. I'm on the left, I can understand *why* people are in good faith libertarians. It doesn't make me think they're less wrong.

I can't speak for Robin, and I wouldn't claim to. Empathy is the ability to understand why others have differing viewpoints. If you think it's not because they in good faith believe differently, but because "they're all just evil", that is absolutely a lack of empathy. It's what the word means.
December 13, 2025 at 2:03 PM
If you only have "empathy" for those whose mindset you share that isn't empathy. Sympathy and empathy aren't synonyms. Again, I don't think lacking empathy is a positive trait, even less so if it's done proudly.

On twitter Graham Linehan is going "Woe is me, I nobly sacrificed my career because I bravely took a principled stance on the trans issue. My troubles have nothing to do with me being an insufferable prick who's unable to talk reasonably with people who disagree! I'm a martyr!!!".
