  • To be fair its likely to be the most probable answer.

    Whilst intelligent life is probably quite common at specific points in time, it isnt common at the same time, and if it is the distances involved are so vast it means we will never know they exist.

    The best we can hope for in all likelihood is that we stumble on the ruins of some other species that died out millions of years ago.

    Or we stumble on a bunch of blue monkeys who are as intelligent as dogs, but in 50 million years they will be the ones finding the ruins of our civilisation.



  • Well no, people visit the UK to experience our culture and history.

    When they arrive they are often pleasantly surprised that our food is actually quite good.

    A proper fried breakfast with quality meats and good sundries beats an american breakfast hands down. Proper back bacon instead of that crispy streaky shit Americans eat, proper sausages instead of those shitty little cat turd “links”, toast made from thick cut bread from a real bakery (or baked on site). God tier.

    I challenge anyone to eat a proper shortcrust pastry meat pie made with slow cooked beef in a rich beer/red wine gravy with vegetables and chips and come away thinking it isn’t anything other than delicious (unless they dont like pies…)



  • To be liberal requires empathy. A deep understanding of others and their situations and the knowledge that your own personal needs dont always automatically outweigh others.

    Empathy requires emotional intelligence.

    Its easy to see it in action. Pick a problem and then look at the solutions offered by populist politicians to solve them.

    In the UK one of the problems is immigrants arriving on small boats. The populist “solution”? “STOP THE BOATS” shouted far and wide.

    How we ask?

    And then silence. And when pressed, the likes of Reform offer more soundbites like “use the navy” and “send them back” but without any substance.

    Meanwhile Liberal politicians offer actual solutions that are not sound bites, and they won’t work quickly. Things like working with the French to find and arrest the people organising it. Helping to improve facilities in France and the rest of Europe so the UK isn’t seen as somewhere an immigrant needs to travel to.

    Basically, intelligent people aren’t fooled by meaningless slogans. Morons aren’t able to understand that deep problems require deep and complex solutions.
