Strikes me that most religious holidays are tied up with agriculture. why should Loy Krathong take place when it does?

Its moved on a bit from opening post, but strikes me that all religions are merely social control mechanisms.

Yeah ! us humans were much better off when life was simply a matter of going around and raping and pillaging each other.

In the interests of accuracy and fairness, all the others would be just as bad

Well, the difference as I see it, because of the pandemic is that the Conservatives will be forced to increase taxes and thus level down whilst the other lot, whatever they stand for in a couple of years time if they still exist, would start off by levelling down to Cuban levels.

Well of course you would believe that. Why would you consider changing what is so deeply ingrained into your being?

It says a lot for the state of British politics that a defence for incompetence is that someone else is even more incompetent. Those are the depths being plumbed now.

Think of a Marxist state and assume the worst? Cuba ranked 39th in the world despite the pressures applied by a 60 year embargo. Brunei ranked 40th despite being the 5th richest state on the planet. UK 18th, beaten by most of its European neighbours, but most importantly, better than the commies.

Any extremists are bad Ally whether "commies" as you say or Fascists.
There is a whole spectrum in between and I prefer to sit in the left where there are not many people who think just of money and themselves.
