Ah but isn't that the definition of intelligence: being able to hold two conflicting views without going completely insane....

Was watching question time last night and I should not have been surprised, but I still was. How can someone hold two diametrically opposed thoughts in their head at the same time.
Paris Lees was talking about the NHS funding crisis and made the point that it was set up after the war when the country was on it's knees and very poor.
Later on, Paris Lees was commenting on International aid (foreign aid), she said we could afford it because we are rich 'due to our colonial asset stripping'

Is there a special course that lefties have to go on, or some sort of lobotmisation process they have to go through ?

If colonial asset stripping were profitable, for a nation, we'd have been doing it a bit longer i think.
