debate

I’ve just listened to 4h of “42 days” debate courtesy of the
marvellous BBC.

Never truer has the statement been, “Everything has already been said,
but not everyone has said it yet.”

No one is changing their minds, because the proposers are not open to
reason; instead they seem to be solely intent on absolving themselves
of responsibility for not giving the professionals the tools – despite
their explicitly not being asked for – and not at all mindful of the
difficulty it took to attain these liberties.
