Interesting to see that Andrew Tate’s message of misogyny is being viewed as radicalisation and terrorism by the police in the UK. I have long believed that domestic violence and misogyny is a form of terrorism.

Who is Andrew Tate? The self-proclaimed misogynist influencer
Andrew Tate has been singled out for the effect he has had in spreading misogyny online among boys and young men by authorities in the UK.
Speaking at the launch of a report into violence against women and girls in July 2024, Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth said: "We know that some of this is also linked to radicalisation of young people online, we know the influencers, Andrew Tate, the element of influencing of particularly boys, is quite terrifying."
The report stated that police were now working with counter-terrorism teams to combat the risks of young men being radicalised.
Numerous social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, have banned him - with the latter saying that "misogyny is a hateful ideology that is not tolerated".

If they had to type all that palaver, rather than transfer what Al says, there would be less of it.

Mindless Morons?
Keep it real!
I want to read what posters know and think, not their damn computer.

What is wrong with quoting from other sources, including AI responses or encyclopaediae, provided the sources are clearly identified and a link provided if available?
Also English has expanded and changed since Samuel Johnson’s lexicon…

It makes no sense that you advocate for no private landlords.

You owning a house makes no difference to the supply - if you sell it to a first home buyer then the house that they occupied comes available and on it goes. Don’t put words in my mouth about landlords either.

If it was only that simple. But of course it is not.

30 years of giving transfers (accommodation supplement) and sizable tax benefits directly to landlords and Auckland now has higher rents than Australia.
It hasn't worked.

Maybe they would own the ex-rentals?
There will always be a need for some rentals for transient and young people etc but we have gone further than that.
We changed houses from being for housing to being a capital gain play - the greater fool theory.

But it actually is that simple.
