So what is your policy on potholes?

Nice, short, observation from an informed commentator I admire.

Populists are very good at broadcasting what they are against, and who is to blame for shortcomings in the current system. They grab attention with wild, often unsubstantiated theories, and make impossible promises. When they are unable to fulfil these, they deflect attention from themselves by heaping further blame on their chosen scapegoats.

They are less good at coming up with practical solutions to mundane problems such as road maintenance that affect us all.

Basically, if you don't have a policy on filling potholes, you shouldn't be running for political office 🙂

I believe I was referencing your exact words “there are good people on each side”. That is a very triggering phrase in this country. Much evil and many lies have been told due to that phrase. It is also very famous.
I don’t think that I am “deflecting” at all. And, maybe you might try for a little more clarity in your own commentary.
Whoever did or did not commit murders in your country is surely not related to either the grooming and rape of little girls by migrants to your country, the government’s blind eye to the children’s suffering, or potholes.
I certainly believe that potholes and their repair are a worthy subject. It seems your government is making no improvements in either situation. Grooming and rape being perhaps the most serious in terms of human suffering and criminal behavior in your country.
Your mention that your country is in need of migrants to fix potholes is surely puzzling. I, for one, think British men are more than capable of fixing potholes. Looking at the conditions in the countries from where the needed migrants come from, I am not sure they would know about potholes in paved roads. While I do see paved roads in Middle Eastern countries, they do not seem to be as ubiquitous as in Great Britain.
My information does not come from “social media”. Unless you actually know something about me, assuming that I get my information from social media is insulting. Certainly, if I were you I would get my information from anywhere else than where it now comes from. A man named Paul Fregosi wrote a book called Jiaud”. It is a deep understanding of the Muslim mindset and its opinion of females. I would also caution you against unfounded criticisms of others. While I understand that you have not canceled me, I am well aware that you fully support the liberal movement, their indifference to canceling people, and the lies they tell. I am also aware that the liberal movement in your country has demonstrated little or no caring for the suffering of its children.
