It’s still above the rate at which Protestants reproduce, and therefore the potential of Catholics to determine a reunification vote is increasing all the time. That was the point.

… and your point is still nonsense. Have you no concept of how statistically insignificant a difference of 0.2 children per generation is?
Leaving aside of course the fact that ‘breeding like rabbits’ in nobody’s language means ‘has a bigger family than the people over the street’. Not when almost no family in the street has more than 2 kids and some only have one.
Face it. Surprising as it may seem, you got caught out mindlessly rehearsing tropes.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Statistics again
I remember all the fun and hilarity when 2.4 children was the butt of jokes

Well, it’s a common misconception, obviously based on the past if the above posts are correct.
You don’t have to be so rude in so many of your responses. It discourages some from posting anything.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
I like straightforward talk. It allows me to be at least equally forthright.
That’s one of the things I like about GB News.

And that's what's wrong with politics. Actually, I'd be a breath of fresh but the various pressure groups (= tails wagging dogs) would try to spoil everything.
The one thing Reform UK needs to do, is work out their policies and have the implementation plans reputably double checked and then explained.

He wasnt.
Only you appear to think that, I dont see anyone else complaining.
I dont see any evidence provided to backup your claim of "It discourages some from posting anything" either.

I genuinely don't think people on this Forum are snowflakes who won't post anything for fear of being hurt by a moderator's words. Open to being corrected.

Yes, I'm sure your inbox is full of people who moan only to you, they know where the exit is. Its also irrelevant to the topic, so again, back to the subject.
