As we saw in interviews after the referendum a tonne of remainers don't even have a clue what the EU is. Multiple people were interviewed unable to answer the question, with others giving such stupid answers the mind boggles.

My personal favourite was the idiot who said we had to stay in the EU or the UK Gov would stop paying for them to go on holiday to the EU...These people are complete idiots and should never have voted on a topic they don't understand...

"Some think AIs should be given legal personhood"

How does that work? You grant an AI personhood, with all the privileges that entails and then what? AI gets a wage, lunch breaks, only works 9-5 to avoid overworking or infringing it's human rights, etc. It would kill AI off before it begins.

Bit selfish...

Can we English, Welsh, and Northern Irish stop subsidising everything for the Scots since they want to be selfish?

When your energy costs, fuel costs, and delivery charges sky rocket maybe you'll see why we operate as one united country and the English overpay so you get the same consistent prices north and south of the border. A good argument for getting rid of the Barnett Formula too there. Fair is fair.

Re: NEWSFLASH

Funny thing - the nursing industry openly discriminates against men.

More importantly you're clearly missing something from your brain if you think nurses are just female doctors and here's the evidence of how different they are (at least in the US): https://www.nursepractitionerschools.com/faq/np-vs-doctor

Re: NEWSFLASH

"If there were as many female doctors as male doctors, then the gap should be minimal"

Sorry to disappoint you, but i presented facts and you came here with opinions. There aren't as many female doctors as male doctors. It takes a lot of training and long working hours, neither of which most women commit to. Statistically women take more time off than men, take longer holidays, work less hours, and in less strenuous jobs (Why aren't there more female builders or warehouse/manual workers).

The figures take 1% of all staff in an industry and compare like for like. That doesn't work. The figures are comparing doctors, janitors, receptionist, etc, wages to see who's paid more. Who's at the top? Surgeons - likely to be male (high work loads, lots of stress, long working hours). Who's at the bottom? Receptionists and cleaners - more likely to be female (smaller work loads, lots less stress, flexible or part time working hours).

Re: NEWSFLASH

For anyone who doesn't know how the gender wage gap myth works:

Person A - A male doctor who works 48 hours a week.

Person B - A female receptionist who works 36 hours a week.

The gender pay gap uses figures for the whole healthcare sector (instead of just similar jobs) to therefore claim women are discriminated against as they're being paid less. It's bullshit. This is the system working properly.

In other news: Men work longer hours than most women and in higher paying fields, with better qualifications (no gender studies shite) and without gaps in working history (no time off to have kids).
