They're representative politicians in a supposed representative democracy.

The word representative means they are there in place of "the people" because you can't expect everyone to read and fully understand everything.

That is therefore the politician's job. They are not supposed to have people to summarise the bill for them. They are meant to understand it and determine whether to vote yes or no based on the needs and requirements of their constituents.

If the bill is too long or complex then they should vote no until they can understand the whole thing.

In the opposite of The Simpsons Governator, they are meant to read, not to lead!

Fuck giving views and news to everything this twat says. The more news written about him the more he's normalised and legitimised.

Do you want to slip into fascism like America? Because that's how we slip into fascism.

Ignore him and spend your time and effort building up the likes of the Greens instead of whatever this arsehole has to say.

Why would we want savings?

We've had austerity since 2010 and "saved" "£350m a week" via Brexit and what has it got us so far?

Tax the rich and spend public funds on public infrastructure. Fuck savings, we're not a poor country, it's just distributed ridiculously in favour of arseholes.

This is therefore the time for the Greens to capitalise and try and capture the apathetic by pushing for proportional representation. Unfortunately, the English Greens don't seem to have the same competence as the Scottish Greens, so them actually managing to do so is slim :/

Ooft, I think you're in need of a GP in that case, not an AI toilet.

I hope you feel better soon 🤞

Some of us dirty foreigners have learned how to use the internet too, not everyone online is American.

You know what else can tell you to eat more fiber?

Paying attention to your shit.

Is it coming out like curry sauce being shot through a hose? Time to eat more fiber!

Is it coming out like a large sausage? You get enough fiber.

This is just another consumerist gimmick, another bullshit thing to get us to buy. More waste inevitably destined for land fill.

There's possibly medical usage for this, by doctors, in certain scenarios, but there's no reason for the general consumer to require this beyond capitalism and consumerism.

All I can find about this book online (which has just released) are the same marketing buzzwords and phrases as OP used and a "detailed review" that throughout can't spell the author's surname...

Is this some weird advertising campaign?

Fancy giving us some actual details OP?
