Recent reports suggest Labour party public support has dropped whilst its membership has increased.

So common ownership but only as far as Dover right? Does that include the Isle of Man or the Channel islands or Islas Malvinas? Or maybe include Europe, but then is it just Western Europe or all of Europe as far as the Urals? Do migrants depress wages or do capitalists? Am I more pleasantly exploited by a capitalist from one culture over another?

It reminds me of this story from 2012 about the test revealing Michelle Obama's speech which was the highest grade level in history and was contrasted with Ann Romney's which was at the lowest grade level in historyhttp://editions.lib.umn.edu/smartpolitics/2012/09/05/michelle-obamas-dnc-speech-wri/Does simpler language resonate more?

Five attended this meeting including new faces, a couple of possible other attendees could not make it. Party activity was discussed widely and potential party activity in Liverpool was discussed. It was agreed to arrange a public meeting in Spring 2016 with a talk or more likely a film. Ideas to screen a film at this meeting were postponed due to lack of proper equipment. There were no issues with the room for this meeting, it was warm, comfortable, modern and quiet in a friendly venue, but for the next meeting, we would find a room with more capacity either in the same venue or a different one nearby. It was agreed 6pm start would be preferable to 7pm start.

No problem, JDW!You had me racking my brains for a moment, wondering why I couldn't figure it out!The first challenge on this thread for me, even if because of an error, so go to the top of the class!Let's hope 'talking shite' doesn't catch on with the rest of the party, eh?Oh…

I could troll you and say maths is the only truth in society? I just read a comic book called Logicomix about Bertrand Russell's quest for truth in mathematics. Unfortunately that is about my level of contribution to this debate.
