Loved the section on uxoriousness…
Toby, you may need to go to AA (if you really want to give up alcohol). Nick is right about it being easier to give it up entirely. I have close relations who have to be teetotal and continue to attend AA even years on and the whole point is that you have to get to the point of being able to be with and watch others drinking without being yourself tempted off the straight and narrow. My husband and I now very rarely drink at home (for health reasons and we sleep far better as a result) and only drink a little when out with friends. No alcohol, along with taking vitamin C and magnesium, has revolutionised my sleep. Re your UK section: I think the Tory party will make themselves a laughing stock if they get rid of yet another PM and I very much doubt that Kemi B will make the slightest difference (taking on the job of PM here is becoming like drinking from a poisoned chalice!).

Agree with most of what you say, but I cannot fathom how anyone on this side of the argument could possibly even contemplate Trump as being the saviour.

For once, I agree with Toby, Ron DeSantis is the far better choice… unless you want to live your life under the threat of mandated ‘vaccines’ of course
Toby, your position on President Trump is pathetic. You scrabble around trying to find something negative to say about him and come up with precisely nothing. It’s ok to not like someone, I don’t particularly like him either, but he is a leader and not a career politician which is exactly the point and is therefore the only hope for America and by extension the western world. Oh and you conveniently for to mention North Korea. Please try to get a grip to see beyond your very obvious bias on this issue.
